That Sig is an alloy frame, as are most (all?) My 239 and 220 are both alloy. AFAIK only the grips are typically plastic. But, Sigs have kind of that utilitarian quality so I wouldn’t refinish it either.
I think that Detonics is incredibly ugly….but that doesn’t mean I don’t want one. It sounds pretty sweet. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the caliber should be easily changeable as well, yes?
As long as they don’t do like most companies seem to when they come up with something modular and charge for accessories the same thing everyone else would charge for a complete gun.

That Detonics looks REALLLY sexy.

It’s a P228 made in 91′. No plastic, not even the grips.

Melensdad is one of our local guys. They made a special serial number for him with his initials in it.

Most Sigs (my two P220’s anyhow) aren’t plastic except the grips – but wooden Sig grips run about $120 a pair.

I just had my P228 slide refinished, but I sweat like a pig/xenomorph hybrid and can destroy an unprotected steel slide SIG in a day.

Now that I have done more research on them, I do find them attractive. I just don’t like the one picture in the provided link. 🙂

LBC,
I’m handing it over to a good photog for the weekend. I’ll have better pics next time for the range review.

I don’t know if your photography skill is to blame. Surprisingly, I like the one with the black slide and white grip I’ve seen elsewhere.
