ARS Gunsmithing: Sig-Sauer P-Series Handguns

(Updated 04-12-06)

ARS has earned a national reputation for fine work on Sig-Sauer P-Series handguns. From simple refinishing, to the basic and advanced "tactical package" ARS has the degree of customizing to match your need.

From the earliest P226 and P220 with stamped and welded slides to the Sig Pro and P245, Sig has continuously improved their products. Many of the enhancements that ARS used to provide are now included on some models, such as smooth trigger faces and rounding of sharp angles. Switching to stainless steel has greatly improved the corrosion resistance as well, although some Sig "stainless" is stainless in name only - it has very poor protective qualities. The factory pistol and factory finish can be improved.

Technical aspects of refinishing are described in detail on the METACOL Finishes page. Refinishing a Sig pistol in METACOL III Satin Black or Gray including two magazines is $150, plus $30 FedEx air return shipping with $700 insurance. Add $0.75/$100 additional insurance. Additional magazines are +$10 each.
