My first "police trade-in"

[ghitch75]

i have a smith model 12-2 2" that has C.C.P.D. 296 on it.

I have a sig 226 in .40, plastic case says law enforcement, and both mags say for gov or law reinforcement with a 1984 date. its well used but a sweet shooter, is it a police trade in?

 

[STEEL CORE]

Possibly, may have been sold to an Officer or Agency during the old Assault Weapons Ban of the mid 90’s.
Nice pistol you have there.

Both of my .40 P226s were listed as LE trade-ins but neither have any cool roll marks to show what dept had them

I'm waiting for a P226 9mm trade in. They don't seem to trade them in at the rate they do Glocks.

Makes sense to me. I've let go of more Glocks than Sigs too

My LGS in Greenville, Indiana has a S&W 67 marked 'Louisville Police', it is a no dash so it was made 1972-78. Dirty and definitely carried, he is asking $500 which is what it books in 'excellent condition', I would call it 'good'. Does the police mark carry that kind of premium?

triple G?

 

[Mongo59]

Yes, and the gun sold...

I had a chance to get the 226 in 40 S&W awhile back but wanted a 9mm so I didn't buy it. Then I find out all you have to do is change the barrel and magazines and you have a p226 9mm. Always find out things after the fact. I read about that here on INGO.

You don't even need to change mags. Just the barrel and spring
