Sig P229...Worth the price?

[RGR12]

Just bought a p229 and love it. That price seems a bit high for a used one.

I have a P229 SAS in 40 S&W. The gun feels great in my hands and is scarey accurate. All of my freinds who have shot it have fallen in love with it. They are a bit pricey. The SAS comes from the custom shop and was $950 new. If I had it to do over I would look for used. It's a great gun but I'm always thinking "Wow, I could have two of these or one of those".

The older P229's, yes. The newer versions, with the girl trigger and the girl grips, no.

Amazing firearm. Its heavy, ugly, has a pretty low capacity-to-weight ratio; but damn if the thing isn't just about a perfect shooter. I bought mine used in .40sw for about $575 and lucked out finding a local gun store selling factory mags for $15 a pop, so I now have 5 mags.
I just wish the drop-in .357 sig barrel wasn't $150; or I'd carry it in that configuration.

I've wanted a P229 for a long time. They've always been a bit pricey. But yes, I think the prices are going up because of this crazy frenzy. But none the less if all goes well tomorrow I may finally get one. I will have to pay a HEFTY fee for it but it may be now or never.
