I bought two of these from Bud's in 2018 I think at a fair price. They have NPD stamped on the side of them for I guess Newark, NJ PD. I bought an extra .357 SIG barrel for one of them, b/c they may be chambered in both 40 S&W and 357 SIG. Both are butt-kicking pistols. Wish I'd bought ten of them. No FTFs, and terrific trigger/sites. For me, too big for every day carry, but love them. Wish the ammo was less expensive.

This is one of my favorite firearm purchases. Arrived in amazing condition for a used pistol. Only needed a solid steel guide rod to make it better.

This is a good buy, Pre-owned was a fraction of the cost for new. sent it back to SIG for some upgrades and it is flawless.

I wasn't sure what to expect with a police trade-in, but the pistol looks brand new. Mine doesn't have a rail, but I like the looks of it better without the rail. And I have plenty of pistols with rails so that was not a concern for me. It had a lot of grease on it when it arrived, but after a good cleaning it fired perfectly in both 40 S&W and with the 357 Sig barrel.

Couldn’t be more happier with my Sig and buds. Great service and never had an issue with shipping.

The sig sauer P229 I recently purchased is perfect . no signs of wear or any scratches. I ran a 100 rounds out of it and it performs perfectly. The night sights are dead on and shine really bright. Definitely my favorite pistol. I'll definitely be back for more. Thank you Buds!

Received my order last week. Haven't had an opportunity to test it yet. A couple of observations. Looks brand new. No rail, German frame. A great buy! Way to go Buds!!

My sig arrived and it look almost new. You can't beat it for the money. Great sig quality. Everything work as advertised and it shot well! Thank you Buds for a great deal!

I bought this from Buds about 2 weeks ago...ran 200 rounds through it faster than I thought possible on range day sunday. No hangs...no hiccups. This is the first auto pistol I've owned. Will buy a 357sig barrel. See what happens. I am very happy with Buds delivery and service and just as happy with my Sig p229 purchase. It was almost new looking inside and out. Even a buddy asked if it was new!! Glad I didn't make the mistake of passing up this offer!!

Man this gun is fantastic. This iteration is exactly what I was hoping for. No rail, slide and frame refinished, night sights, new recoil spring, German frame with classic style US slide. Barrel looks like it has several thousand rounds through it, otherwise the Sig refurbishing process makes it like a brand new firearm. 225 flawless rounds through it so far. Amazing bargain in my opinion, considering it is half price of a new P229 and seems to be just as reliable and accurate. Thanks Buds!

SIg CPO P229 arrived in great condition. Non railed and legacy slide. Based on SigArms markings, german frame and serial number, it appears to be from mid 90's, but looks close to new. A small scratch on the barrel hood and one small ding on the slide are the only items that make it appear used. The slide and frame may have been refinished, as the ding does not show in the finish, just in the metal itself. Very clean inside, great trigger pull in both DA and SA. Great price and delivery time frame.

I was looking for a couple of decent serviceable P229 Sigs for a reasonable price. Mostly interested in a pair of used ones in great shape. These two fit the bill quite nicely. They are "Previously Owned" and refurbished by Sig. Basically the "Red Box" value offering from Sig. They are recent versions with Night Sights and Short Reset Triggers and the new style grips. The Night Sights were still bright and the condition of both are excellent. No signs of abuse or undue wear. After a quick cleanup and inspection, I ran a hundred rounds or so through each one without a hitch. I used a mixed assortment of ammo and they digested it like a starving Racoon. The sights were "on the money" and both triggers were flawless. Almost better than a brand new one. They are the standard SA/DA with Short Reset Triggers. The fit and finish were pretty much like new, without any signs of undue wear or abuse. I have several other P229 versions, including a few assorted Enhanced Versions with all the bells and whistles. These are great for EDC and Home Protection. The only drawback is that you may not always get the latest and greatest options. You won't really know until you open the box. I was lucky and got a pair with decent options that I would normally add if they didn't come with them.
If you are in the market for a decent P229 at a fair price, you really can't go wrong with these. Both are in 40 Cal and with a barrel swap and minor tweaks, they can digest the 357 Sig cartridge. It's a great choice for a top end 9mm bottle neck. There are higher priced versions available new, but the idea is to get a great specimen for a great price. These really were a surprise, as far as condition and features. I might consider a couple more after a few other "Essential" purchases are made. These will make great hand me downs for the grandkids at some point. The price was reasonable enough for me to purchase two at a bit more than the cost of one new one.
These are accurate and easy to operate and tear down for cleaning. Extra Mags are always a good purchase too. Buds has a decent assortment of Sig and Mec-Gar mags at lower than list prices. Not the cheapest, but I don't skimp on Mags. I'm a fan of the Sig and Mec-Gar mags and it's not worth playing with cheap copies, even for target practice and plinking.
The chambers on these are tight enough that the 40 Cal "Bulge" is not usually a problem. Some manufacturers make barrels with Feed Ramps/Chambers that don't support the case heads well enough. In the 40 S&W, it can be a real hazard. I haven't had a problem with ANY of my Sigs in that regard in any caliber.
If you are looking for a P229 in great shape, don't let these slip away. It's a great value and a no brainer if you are looking to save a few bucks.

I received the Pre Owned Sig Sauer P229 from Buds in about a week, it was a US made slide with a German made frame, E2 grips and had an accessory rail. I field stripped the pistol to inspect and clean, the recoil spring was not in the best of shape (Ordered a replacement). No wear marks on the outside of the pistol and had what looked like a fairly new set of sites (Non night sites). Took the gun to the range for a function test and it functioned OK, a little delayed going into battery (Because of recoil spring). I am very satisfied with the purchase, it is a good value for your money. And yes I would recommend to a friend.

Excellent !
The pistol I got had three dot sights, no rail, and looked like new. Even the barrel was still fully blued with no marks from firing.
Accuracy is quite amazing. Two mag's., red cardboard box.

This pre-owned 229 looks brand new, new frame German made,new slide& barrel us made E2 grips and no police markings. First 50 rds. one FTL the next 450 flawless. This is my second refurbished gun from BUDS. You can't beat Buds service and Sig quality. The S&W 40 is still going strong, for about half price get one while you can you won't be sorry.

The Sig P229 in 40 caliber was delivered in 6 days to my FFL in Texas. The red box contained 2 new mags and cable lock with the owners manual. Based on my inspection this firearm appeared to be new. The Sig refurbish team did high quality work. The police trade in was in excellent condition. I read an article that the average police officer shoots on average 200 rounds per year. The serial number indicates the build date was 2012. I am strongly considered acquiring a second 229 for my other vehicle. When a person considers ease of concealment, reliability, and price point this is hands down one of the best firearms on the market today. Lastly this firearm is easy the shoot and dead on accurate. Thank you Buds!

This 229 is amazing!!! Out of the box like new conditions, for a duty issue weapon. No night sight on mine but that wasn't a deal breaker for the price and extra magazine. I do wish it came with the original factory plastic box but again not a deal breaker it came with e2 grips I am very pleased with the purchase buds I will be looking for law enforcement trade ins I missed out on the glock 27 bud I'll be watching closely.
