Made in Germany, this P228 carries German eagle/N and Ulm antler proofs alongside the "KF" date code, confirming 1995 manufacture. The slide is marked "MADE IN GERMANY," and the SIGARMS Inc., Exeter NH import rollmark is present. The slide and frame have matching serial numbers, an important detail for originality-minded buyers.
The compact, non-rail aluminum-alloy frame wears a hard-coat anodized finish. Up top, the stamped carbon-steel slide utilizes a hardened pinned breech block secured by dual roll pins and an internal extractor, reflecting the classic construction associated with early P-series compacts.
Operation is locked-breech, short-recoil with a tilting barrel. The pistol is DA/SA with a decocker, and it uses a left-side, standard magazine release. A spur hammer and black textured polymer grips with SIG medallions complete the control layout and handling profile.
Sighting is straightforward with fixed contrast sights: a ramped front and a fixed notch rear. The 3.9 in steel barrel and double-stack magazine provide a 10+1 capacity, and this example includes one 10-round magazine with a steel body and polymer baseplate.
