Sig p220

[vujade]

Hi,

 

I just adopted a Sig Sauer p220 (1999).  Here are some pictures. 

 

(This is only my 2nd 45.  I look forward to seeing how she performs compared to a 1911.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What to you think of the pictures?  I finally got around to learning to use the manual settings on my old SLR last weekend and so these are the first pics.

My P220 is my favorite of all my pistols.

Thanks for the comments guys.

 

I have a question - See the 3rd picture down?  Look at the front sight; it's got a white dot on the TOP.  It's likewise on the rear sights.  (2 dots)  What function do those dots serve?

 

(I hope I'm explaining this adequately - It's got the regular dots on the back of the sights but it also has the dots on the top (if you're looking down the top of the slide)

 

I can't wait for the range.  I plan to pit it against a sw1911 and a p228.  Of course this would have the edge over the p228 since I can reload 45ACP.  I intend to use my 1911 load to start it off with.  (they are pretty light loads so no where near max).

Sig seems to have quite a following. 

 

Their certainly clunkier than my 1911 and the trigger is more mushy/pushy.  I like the business-like looks though.  If it shoots like my p228, I know the accuracy will be sufficient. 

 

To the big sig fans here, what gravitated you towards the Sig P-line?

I have a P229 by way of a 239.  I bought the 239 as a lark because a member on here was selling one at what I thought was a good price, and the only other pistol I had at the time was an XDm, which isn't very carry-friendly.  I ended up with the 229 because it wasn't much larger than the 239, but had a substantially larger capacity.  I'm a fan of Sigs because of the ergos (they don't fit everybody, but they fit me), the brand reputation, and the absolute reliability I've experienced over several thousand rounds.

Agreed!

I have a variety of brands and as I age, this becomes less important to me...I'm less of a collector and more set in my ways. The .45 acp is my favorite handgun caliber and I wanted something that was not polymer (I already own HK's and Glocks). I now wish that all of my .45's could magically become p220's. Mine's a carry size dark elite. I love the size, feel, the way it shoots, and of course-it looks incredible in my opinion. Mag capacity is low but that does not matter to me in a handgun.
