@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.
@@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.
Good looking Sig, especially for a trade in. Cool video hope to see more from ya. Hit the sub 👍👍
Thanks for the support! It really is amazing how well these older, well-used pistols clean up -- it's addicting.

@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
