I feel pretty lucky to be the recipient of a brand new. never fired Sig P250. I got it in my first ever 3 way trade, and I think I came out as the winner. I scoured the internet and below is the limited information I was able to find.
Here is the history of this pistol:
On 15 Decenber, exactly eight months to the day they cased their colors, Soldiers with the 2nd "Black Jack" Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division assembled again on Cooper Field and uncased their colors, marking one of the last units to leave Iraq in support of Operation New Dawn and allowing Soldiers to be home just in time for the holidays. The Brigade had operated primarily in the Northern Iraqi Joint Operations area.
Being home for the holidays came as a surprise to the Black Jack Soldiers. They didn't know until a couple of weeks ago that they would be back before the Christmas holiday, and they were very fortunate everything worked out.
Many Black Jack Soldiers agreed that being one of the last units to leave their footprint in Iraq made their numerous deployment rotations, loss of comrades and countless holidays away from loved ones well worth it.
The marking on the slide are translated as follows:
2HBCT= 2nd Heavy Brigade Combat Team
1CD = 1st Calvary Division
11-12 = DEC 2011
If anybody has any more information on the histry of this pistol please add to the thread...Thanks
