Hi, I carry the 9mm version, the Sig Pro2022. I paid 350.00 for it NIB it came with 2 mags. They are darn near identical dimension wise (excepting caliber of course), performance wise it has been flawless ,not a jam or failure of any kind after 1500 rounds through it. I admit I was a little dubious about the polymer lower at first, but, I no longer have any misgivings about it. I carry as a duty piece and as my daily concealed carry piece. Sig quality at a "garage sale" price, you cannot go wrong. I say tell him to snatch it up if he hasn't already.
