Back in the days before the SIG 365, SIG wanted to make a dedicated CCW gun that could wear big boy pants. They took the 229/228 and said, “We can make this smaller”. And they did. They called it the P224. And it was fantastic.

The 224 was available in 3 calibers. 9mm of course, and also .40 and .357 SIG. Making for a very versatile platform. I know police officers that carried a 224 as a Backup Gun for a good long while. The 224’s only sin was that of bad timing. As the 224 was scrambling for traction in the Market, Consumer Tastes shifted to Polymer framed guns for reduced weight. Also, the 224 never got the full production numbers to really get them out into the market. It was almost like an Experimental piece. Today it’s a Collector Piece. And one that I would very much like to acquire myself, if anyone is willing to make a trade. For the DA/SA Decocker version… not the DAO version.
