SIG Sauer P228 9mm Luger Compact, German-Made, DA/SA, Night Sights, Alloy Frame, 3.9 in Barrel
This German-made SIG Sauer P228 stands out with its SIGARMS Exeter, NH import mark, folded stamped slide with a pinned breechblock, and compact alloy frame. It features dovetailed tritium night sights marked "MH3" and ships with four magazines plus original SIGARMS case, manual, and dated factory documentation. The P228’s DA/SA system, decocking lever, and proven P-series lineage — closely tied to the U.S. M11 — make this a strong example for enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Made in Germany and imported by SIGARMS in Exeter, NH, this P228 carries "MADE IN GERMANY" and importer markings that align with its early-2000s documentation. The compact, non-railed alloy frame with rounded trigger guard and spurred hammer reflects the classic P-series profile.
The slide is the folded/stamped style with a pinned breechblock; the breechblock roll-pin is visible, as expected for this configuration. The action is semi-automatic, short-recoil, locked-breech, and DA/SA with a smooth-faced trigger for consistent control.
Fixed tritium night sights are dovetailed front and rear, both marked "MH3." The two-piece textured polymer grip panels are correct, with "SIG SAUER" on the left panel and "P228" on the right.
With a 3.9 in barrel and an unloaded weight of approximately 26.3 oz, the P228 balances compact dimensions with shootability. It ships with one 18-round and three 15-round magazines, offering flexibility for range or duty use.
Included SIGARMS materials — the blue hard case, owners manual, Custom Shop Certificate of Quality card, and QC paperwork dated 02/19/02 — add helpful provenance and support its well-kept presentation.
