Had one and it was fine but I ended up with a X5 for a supressor
host . I think you will like the grip of the newer style blackwater . I dont like the 1st run with thr wood .

Of all the guns I ever traded off or sold, the one I regret the most was my W.Germany Sig 220. I would hold on to the 228 and find a different way to get what you want.

I have a W. German two tone 226 that I have considered selling or trading to fund something else. I'm not really into DA/SA anymore and it doesn't get shot much but damn if it doesn't run like a raped ape whenever I bring it out, I don't have the heart to get rid of it. Hands down the most reliable weapon I have ever owned or shot. With all of the QC issues at SIG over the last few years there is no way in hell I would get rid of that 228 to get a newer SIG of any variety. I would just get some spare parts for it and enjoy.

Keep any W. German SIG.

If you can trade it for a W. German, triple serial, nitro proofed P226, then OK... but don't swap it out for a new one.

If SIG were to implement the same QC standards they had back in the day, all Classic P-series would be over $1K.

A West German SIG has become like a Garand... if you could produce a new one with the same materials to the same standard, they would be much, much, more expensive- but you can't so why even think about it?
