Do you mean the 225 - P6? I picked one up about 3 years or so ago because I love Sigs, it was offered to me at a great price, was in fantastic condition and thought that it would make a good concealed weapon. It is about and inch or so shorter than the P226 and obviously more slender since it is a single stack magazine. I carried it for a while and then just went back to the P226. It holds more than twice the rounds and the reprobates that move here to the mountains from the city tend to travel in packs. I guess they are afraid of the woods and the bears, but not afraid break into your house or do a hold-up in the Walmart parking lot.
The 225-P6 is still a great little handgun. Just be real careful buying one on-line. Some of the ones that I saw had barrels where the lands and grooves were almost non-existent, forcing you to immediately buy a replacement barrel. Must have once been issued to a member of the Deutsche Polizei that actually took his marksmanship seriously.
But I am still thinking hard about the 228.
