Yep... close to new!! Looks like to me it has more than just a few clips... but in the end it doesn't matter. If you got a good price then you have a GREAT piece at a good price.

Look at the breech face to see how "new" it looks there.
Thats where a lot of action takes place when the gun is fired, like stripping a round out of the clip-pushing it into the chamber-cartridge pushing against it when fired all in micro seconds. Miller Lite is fine.

I'm not an expert but I have a Glock 30 with more than it's fair share of rounds through it and it looks about the same... if the price is right and every thing seems tight, who cares?

Hmm... I'm not sure how a sig would show differently than a glock though. The glock I used to have never showed any wear like that either, so I dunno.

If it was mine, I would take the barrel out and check the frame and make sure there are no machine burrs rubbing on it, which I suspect there is.
A light sanding with very fine sandpaper would smooth that out. I would then rub a small amount of Militec grease on the barell every time I cleaned it.

My P229 shows the same wear on the barrel. It's a rub point by design. |

I'd imagine Sigs are different though and much better made. I'd also guess it's cosmetic and nothing to worry about, but I'm a revolver fan.

My only concern was that I was told it was never fired. I believe the seller was truthful now. Thanks for all the input guys! I should post pics of the entire firearm someday. (I actually almost have twins, but the other isn't near as good condition as this most recent one.) I'm thinking of getting the other one refinished, but I can't decide on color combos (nothing too crazy though). |

The shinny area on the barrel can develop quickly as it appears to be in the area that the slide bushing locks the barrel into battery when the weapon is ready to be fired. That is usually a very close tolerance fit. Simply racking the weapon a fair number of times could cause that.
There are two areas that should tell you if the gun has been fired more than a few times and they are the Feed Ramp on the barrel and the Breech Face, especially within a 3/8" circle surrounding the firing pin opening. It is very difficult to remove all signs of wear and burnt carbon that develops in those areas, especially on the Breech Face where the primer and cartridge case slam against it and ever so slightly cause very minor indentations over time. If you have a jewelers eye piece (5X / 7X) use it and the slightest amount of true wear, brass residue and/or carbon residue will become evident, if the weapon has been fired very much. BTW which model is it. I can't see very much of it and it's hard to tell.
