Thanks for the support! It really is amazing how well these older, well-used pistols clean up -- it's addicting.

@guntimetherapy I'm pretty sure in 2005 they stopped Sig Arms and all pistol were Sig Sauer. The 229 the prefix on the serial number gives ya the date, and inside the grip panels you should see a date. The SRT is less than $50 and you'll have the short reset trigger, makes a huge difference.

@jimchambers7548, this pistol came in the DAK configuration, so I replaced most of the internals and added the SRT kit while I was at it. Seems like it's probably not as old as I thought though, thanks for the tip there. I'll pull out the original grips and see what they say.

@guntimetherapy on the bottom of my factory mags have same date. Don't know if it helps but on mine the mags and grips have 2-95

@@jimchambers7548, this is where I got the early 90s date from. The magazine that came with it is marked for Law Enforcement only and has a date of 9-14-94. It says "SIGARMS INC" and not Sig Sauer like the slide though. I'm pretty sure the gun shop was mixing and matching magazines (they had tubs of these trade-ins), so I shouldn't put too much faith in that date.

alleghenyarms.com/product/beretta-81-84-threaded-barrel-380acp-nickel/ Looks like they're out of stock, but I assume more will show up at some point. I could only find one in nickel which is why I opted for a nickel trigger and stainless screws on the grips. The balance worked out, though, I think.

I don't think you'd want to suffer through my attempt at a British accent :D

@@toddwolfe1978, it's a Versacarry holster -- which is the only brand I've had decent luck with in terms of fit and comfort. Edit: it's their Delta Carry IWB holster, to be specific.

@ nice thanks. I’ll check them out.

I don't. I have taken this one apart fully and reassembled it twice, but I didn't grab a video of the disassembly. One thing to look for are the roll pins in the slide that retain the firing pin -- mine at least had a roll pin inside of another roll pin and I initially only removed the center pin. I do plan to make full disassembly videos as well, but I'm not sure when it'll happen.

@@XDMIIIIIIIII, I had to fix some damage to the frame which removed a lot of the original finish, so I had the frame and slide Cerakoted.

Where did you purchase firearm

I believe I got this one from PSA.

@guntimetherapy was it in bad shape? I'm thinking about getting one from psa

It wasn't too bad. I did some filing on the backstrap area, but that wasn't strictly necessary. These are the before and after photos: imgur.com/a/oOZLiAN

I wasn't sure about it, but it turned out great I think.

I've been using Simple Green. I have my frame and slide off getting cerakoted because it was fairly damaged in a few places where I needed to clean it up with files and sandpaper. We'll see how it all goes back together -- the trigger spring was a nice challenge the last time. It's fun to shoot though, I think you'll enjoy it!
