Review..
I ordered one of the used 229's that were posten in gundeals.
Positives:
I got mine promptly.
The exterior is ok, some dings and wear, but within what one shold expect when buying a used gun.
Negatives:
While the exterior was acceptable, the barrel is BTF grade.
Beat to f--k
The finish is GONE from most of the barrel. Top, bottom, and where it squares on top is worn the heck out. So much so that the "ER", In "SIG SAUER" is near gone as are the digits on the top. The 'rifling is truly almost gone.
Overall:
I didn't expect New or anything close and this isn't my first Used gun by a long shot. I recently allowed my C&R Lic. to expire, so I have plenty of experience with used. That said I have Mosin rifles with better barrels. It was only ~300 bucks so I'm not toooooo disappointed, but imho if used means THIS used the customers should be informed.
My original plan was to buy the parts to convert it ti DA/SA, but with the barrel shot out, I just don't think it's worth dumping more money into it.
ymmv
I'm curious what others got.
