LEO Purchase of Sig P226
« on: April 21, 2006, 01:00:41 AM »
Interstate Arms in MA. has Sig 226, 9mm's that they are selling to LEO's for only $299.95 + $10 shipping. The guns are turn ins from the Toledo, OH PD. They are in good condition, come with 2 15 round mags, Trijicon night sights (dim or out completely). I recieved one Tues. and it shows normal holster wear and signs of use. From what I have read on other boards guys have found that they have been shot very little. Overall, the general opinion including my own is that they are a swinging deal. You will need an FFL to do a transfer, unless your dept. gives you the letter on the dept letterhead. The site is below, follow it to the LE section and follow the instructions. Might want to call and see what they have left.  There are also some S&W's listed .
I know there are some of you LEO 's running (flying) around in here.

Cheers,
Jim (M36)

I can't read it either, very nice looking gun though.

Here's a link to the manufacturers website; seventh gun down in the list.

Get a load of the prices, $1748 for the custom 1911 in the pic above and it's one of the cheaper guns!

If you simply must get a 1911, at least buy one from Kimber or another quality manufacturer and not colt. You'll get a far better weapon at a far better price.

Im leaning more towards a Springfield Armory, although I have not really looked into Para Ordinance yet. Guess I should.  I have to admit that I am not really wild about Kimber. I have read good, and bad things about them and dont want to invest that much to find out who is right.

Do a search for my posts here on my Springfield armory ultra compact V10.(small oficer size 1911)


Then go around to all the local gun shops and ask who has had more trouble, sprinfield owners or Kimber.

Every shop keeper I talk to around here has had more then one person have springfield problems. Only a few mentioned kimber problems.

On the upsided, springfields customer service is good, and the M1A I bought from them works very well.

the 1911 had more then one problem out of the box brand new. (extractor not installed right, slide release misshaped. The Barrel link was to short as well, and I threw the  mags away they were so crappy.

they repaired it all for free, including shipping, but that is no excuse for poor qaulity control on their pistol line.   (it is still not 100% reliable even with round nose ammo)

But it can shoot. If your a pistol person that shoots not 200 rounds a year but more like 10000 then sti is the best. I have a kimber and a sti rangemaster the sti is twice the gun as the kimber. I dont even shoot the kimber anymore so i put it on my carbine 1911 kit. Sti are at a level that no one can touch. The price is really high but i dont have 50 guns in the safe i just purchase a gun for life. I go out to the range once a week and sometimes let people shoot my sti. They have a smile from ear to ear.

BTW if you own a kimber our ie 1911 its just called a 1911\

If you own a sti, limcat, dawson ect you own a BLASTER

does STI make a gun that is not embarassingly ugly?

I doubt that they will outshoot a Kimber.
