The P228’s German manufacture and SIGARMS Exeter import marking add collector interest while keeping the pistol squarely in the classic P-series era. Its non-railed compact frame and 3.9 in barrel deliver the traditional P228 profile that many enthusiasts seek.
The stamped carbon-steel slide with a pinned breech block and rear slide serrations reflects the original construction approach of early P-series compacts. Controls are the familiar decocker, slide catch, and takedown lever, paired with an external spur hammer and a push-button magazine release.
Sighting is straightforward with dovetailed fixed 3-dot sights, featuring a green front dot and white two-dot rear. The configuration is simple, durable, and easy to reference.
Chambered in 9mm Luger with a 15+1 capacity and compatibility with P226 magazines, this P228 is supported by a generous magazine assortment for range use or collection completeness. Its clean bore and good rifling complement the well-maintained overall condition.
