Only available in Japan at the moment as far as I know. Kits come in three flavours - brass, silver and black.
Kits come with CNC slide, frame and barrel plus grips and other parts, including parts to mod the magazine. Here's a few pics: (IMG:http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/andy_b51/black_p228.jpg) (IMG:http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/andy_b51/brass_p229.jpg) (IMG:http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y279/andy_b51/silver_p229.jpg) -------------------- ![]() |

Wow, 1000-1300USD for an All metal CNC'ed P228, seems a bit much to me <.<

Hopefully the kits will turn up in HK shops along with a price drop. But a lot of these types of kits stay as Japan exclusives for some reason.
what obo extra mags Good question. Neither of the sites that I've seen these kits on sell the magazine parts separately. -------------------- ![]() |

Loving the 229 Kit, here's hoping they increase production and sell these kits outside of Japan.

Hope they sell the mag conversion parts separately. Would you REALLY want to skirmish with a gun costing $1000 just for the metal bits? I guess the mag parts will be around $100 each, even if they're available... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Cheers -------------------- Latest news and views at blog.justpistols.co.uk

Well, my full metal P229 project doesn't seem quite as special now. Still, at the price they are currently selling at I doubt tht we will see more than a handful.
I really have been hoping that someone would get around to doing this. I'll be interested to see if these make it outside japan. BTW, my bet would be that KJW P229 mags could be made to fit these kits which would solve that problem.

I've always wanted a P228. It's my favorite Sig handgun. Too bad this kit is so prohibitively expensive.

Would you REALLY want to skirmish with a gun costing $1000 just for the metal bits? Why not? I'm not the type to owns guns that I can't field. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) For over $1000, it'd better survive the rigors of being used. |

LOL +3 for every idiot who doesn't realise this is airsoft forum. LOL +limitless for every idiot who buys real one and shoot it in his room.

Sorry, should've mentioned the part where I've got no intention of purchasing something like that anytime soon. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Getting a frame like that into Canada would be 50-200% above MRP in Asia.
