Yup, another Sig P6 that is!
I really lucked out with my 1st gun, which had a manufactured date of 8/97 and was basically brand new.
This one not so much, although it was dirt cheap. It's pretty dirty too, I've got to soak it in some CLP and do a major cleaning. This gun is one of the earlier models, with a 4/79 date.
On the downside, it's got blacked out sights. I suppose I can just dab some bright white paint on them. On the upside, this is basically going to be a range gun, and the DA pull doesn't feel nearly as stiff as the newer gun.
There's some wear on the slide rails and the inside of the frame (frame rails look good though) The grip screws are rusted to hell, so I'll have to order new ones. Mags are sticking a bit, but that could just be due to crud buildup. The slide release was getting stuck in the "up" position but it seems to be working OK now, so again I think it's just dirt. Barrel looks good, not too many smilies. Obviously it's got the older style barrel, and I've already determined Hornady XTP's and FPD's will most likely not cycle. No big deal really, since the Federal 9BP hollow points should work.
More detailed & internal pics will follow.

Saw a video of an interesting gun at Jeff's site thought you'd be interested.
oh poo, my host crapped out for the time being...
Great find! I've been thinking about picking one of those up at a gunshow after I read about how much people love them. Michael Bane carries his frequently and even stretched it out at Gunsite once - http://michaelbane.blogspot.com/2005/12/sig-225-carry-gun.html - that's pretty telling that it was the most reliable gun there.
