16. Please explain the Sig Sauer Certified Pre-Owned Certification program.

What is Sig Sauer Five-Point Factory Certification? Each Factory Certified Pre-Owned SIG SAUER is field stripped, refitted with original factory parts where needed, cleaned and lubricated, function tested and hand-inspected by a certified Sig Sauer armorer. Does the Factory Certified Pre-Owned SIG SAUER come with a warranty? Yes. Each Factory Certified Pre-Owned SIG SAUER comes with a one-year warranty from Sig Sauer. Do all used SIG SAUER pistols come with a warranty? Only the Factory Certified Pre-Owned SIG SAUER pistols carry a one-year warranty backed by Sig Sauer. Make sure the pistol you purchase is a Factory Certified Pre-Owned SIG SAUER. How will my Factory Certified Pre-Owned SIG SAUER be packaged? Each pistol is repackaged in a Sig Sauer lockable pistol case. It is tagged with our “STOP” tag and wrapped in plastic for protection. Included in the case will be an owner’s manual stamped “PRE-OWNED” in red, a cable lock, and a second magazine. How do I know I’m getting a Factory Certified Pre-Owned SIG SAUER? Our Factory Certified Pre-Owned pistols now ship with a blue grip band identifying it as a Certified Pre-Owned SIG SAUER. Some pistols have already shipped without these grip bands so look in the pistol box for the owner’s manual. If it is stamped “PRE-OWNED” in red and comes with the blue Sig Sauer cable lock then you know it is one of ours. You will also find our standard “STOP” tag instructing the owner to read the owner’s manual. This “STOP” tag will also be stamped “PRE-OWNED” in red on the back of the tag. Are high-capacity magazines included? Each Factory Certified Pre-Owned SIG SAUER pistol comes with 2 standard capacity magazines. What is the condition of a Certified Pre-Owned SIG SAUER ? The condition of a Pre-Owned SIG SAUER pistol will vary depending on the amount of wear, such as that caused by a holster or rings, and that condition will be reflected in the retail price. Pistols that have shown excessive wear on the slide when received at the factory will often have the slide refinished in our rock hard Nitron® finish. Are the frames refinished? The alloy frames of a SIG SAUER pistol are hard anodized for durability and performance. Though a pistol frame may show minor “dings” or ring wear, the frame is not refinished as part of our Factory Certification process. Does Sig Sauer replace worn internal parts? Absolutely. When going through the Five-Point Factory Certification process, the Sig Sauer armorer looks for worn parts. When worn parts are discovered they are replaced with original factory SIG SAUER parts.

18. What is your return policy?

YOU HAVE A 3 DAY INSPECTION PERIOD BEGINNING AT THE TIME THAT YOUR MERCHANDISE ARRIVES EITHER AT YOUR MAILING ADDRESS, OR IN THE CASE OF A MODERN OR CURIO / RELIC FIREARM, AT YOUR FFL DEALER'S MAILING ADDRESS. During this period the firearm is not to be fired or disassembled. If your merchandise was not damaged during transit, and you wish to return it, please contact me and briefly explain the problem. A return authorization will be required for all merchandise returned to receive any credit. If you choose to return the item, it MUST be received by 1st Class Firearms in the EXACT and SAME condition as you received it (i.e. no open packaging will be accepted for credit). We will ONLY refund the purchase price of the item, LESS A 10% RESTOCKING FEE. All used items are AS IS. All brand new items are the responsibility of the manufacturer. We will be happy to help you if you have a problem with a manufacturer honoring their warranty.
