Sig announces re-release of P225-A1 single-stack 9mm

[Vanguard.45]

SIG has a few problems here.

First, they are entering a market already flooded with single stack 9 millimeters.

Second, the street price is almost double that of some of the most popular single stack 9 millimeters.

Third, the appeal of the original SIG P229 was in its balance in the hand. With the newer stainless slides, many of their guns lose the balance that gave the originals their reputation.

If I wanted a P225, it would be one of the originals for about $100 less.

Plus, like most people, I want a Legion anyway and that will be taking whatever funds I decide to use to buy my next handgun.

Interesting, I would love to have an original p6 wish they where still in the 300 range and I love me some sigs but 1100 is a bit out of my price range but its cool that they are releasing it again.

Correct, the P6 aren't dirt cheap anymore, but they are still less than half of the $1,100 MSRP

I Got one from ZX for $250 when they were first imported, and that came with a spare mag, pouch for the spare mag, and duty holster... But I guarantee the new one will have a much nicer trigger. The P6 trigger is best described as "serviceable".

I would rather have an original 225 made in Germany for $200 less. YMMV

The new 225A1 feels better than the P6/225 IMO, a lot better. Just more like a single stack 229, and is more comfortable than the 239, just IMO.

Expensive yes, single stack yes, but I'll still end up getting one when they offer it with a threaded barrel and sell my M11A1 to fund it. It fits me that much better and the single stack part doesn't bother me.

I was looking forward to this, love 225's and single stacks in general especially larger framed ones but at 1122.00 they're out of their mind.

Lol....$1122.

I love the P6/P225 but that price is full retard.

Sig makes some good quality stuff...but $1100 for a re-release is ridiculous. Price is the main reason I own Glock and Ruger pistols instead of Sig Sauer Pistols!

Sightings from around the web:

Here: $862.00

Here: $846.72

Here: $852.88

Here: $863.42

Here: $901.99

I guess at $850 I can't be too down on it. That's about what I paid or my P220 with all the goodies. I really like my P220.

Still, probably not for me.

as much as I love sig's I don't get the new 225, if I want a single stack 9mm, id carry a 239, (its 125 bucks less) if I wanted a full size single stack, id carry a 220(its 130 bucks less), sigs just wanting to make a gun for "nostalgic purposes"

the 225 is the solution to a problem that doesn't exist!

and I love sigs!...but I think kirk freeman said it best (for this case only) ron choen needs to be "krav maga punched" in the throat!

You do know that Sig is in business to make money? That's why they are re-releasing it, they know they could possibly sell a boat load of them.

I got to handle one today and it's a really nice pistol. Grip felt great and the whole gun was rock solid. The one I looked at had NS and was priced at 959.00.
