Find your model below for a general estimated selling range, then submit a few details for your actual offer. These ranges reflect what common SIG Sauer models may typically sell for based on model, configuration, condition and current market demand.
Two firearms with the same model name can have very different values. Condition, exact variant, caliber, finish, included accessories, modifications and current market demand can all affect what we can pay.
The ranges above are intended to give you a useful starting point. Your actual offer is based on the firearm you submit.
Fair
Usually toward the lower portion of the range.
Good
Generally within the middle of the range.
Excellent
May qualify toward the higher end of the range.
Condition alone does not determine placement within a range. Variant, configuration, demand, modifications and included accessories can also materially affect value.
Estimated ranges are provided for general informational purposes and are not guaranteed purchase offers or appraisals. Actual offers depend on the exact firearm, variant, condition, configuration, accessories, current market conditions and other relevant factors. Pricing may change over time.
About SIG Sauer
SIG Sauer's history combines two companies: the Swiss Industrial Company (SIG), founded in 1853, and the German gunmaker J.P. Sauer & Sohn, founded even earlier, which began a formal partnership in the 1970s to design and manufacture handguns. This collaboration produced the P220, P226, and P229 pistol lines, which became widely used by European and American military, law enforcement, and federal agencies, including U.S. Navy SEALs and the FBI at various points. SIG Sauer's American operations, based in New Hampshire, later developed independently and expanded into a broad catalog of pistols and rifles.
Collectors and buyers often look at country of manufacture (German-made versus later U.S.-made production) as a key identifying factor for classic SIG Sauer models like the P226 and P229, since the company shifted significant manufacturing to the United States over time. SIG Sauer's more recent product lines, including the P320 modular pistol and MCX and MPX rifle platforms, represent a different generation of the company's design philosophy.
Because SIG Sauer pistols were widely adopted by military and law enforcement agencies, factory contract markings and configuration specific to a given agency or military contract are notable identifying details for some models.

Valuation
What affects SIG Sauer firearm values
These are the characteristics we assess on the specific firearm in front of us — not a model-number price chart.
Factor 1
Production era and country of manufacture
German-made SIG Sauer pistols from the classic P-series era are generally identified separately from later U.S.-manufactured production.
Factor 2
Condition
Slide and finish wear, along with barrel and action condition, are assessed relative to how the pistol was used and carried.
Factor 3
Originality
Factory grips, sights, and internal parts are weighed against aftermarket modifications common on service-pistol platforms.
Factor 4
Factory configuration and chambering
Caliber (9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP), frame size, and finish options such as blued, nickel, or two-tone define specific variants.
Factor 5
Special editions and contract models
Military or law-enforcement contract-marked pistols and limited commemorative editions are treated as a distinct category from standard commercial production.
Factor 6
Documentation
Original case, manual, and included magazines support a pistol's completeness, and any agency or contract markings add specific identifying detail.
Factor 7
Collector demand
Early German-made P226 and P229 pistols and specific military-contract variants see more focused collector interest than current standard commercial production.
