Opinions on P220 Sig?

breakinparts · 03-15-2008

I am looking for a carry piece. I heard these things kick ass... Yes, I want a .45... I held one in my hand the other day and was VERY impressed, but wondered about the rest of the goodies about it.

I believe there are a few law enforcement agencies that issue P220's.

I've had experience with Sig's P226 9mm and its a great weapon. Maybe a bit bulky for concealed carry though.

Yea, I basically went to go pick up a Glock 30, but when I felt it in my hand I was less than satisfied. I do like the single stack design, and it is very slim for what it is...

I made that same observation with Paul's yesterday. Great gun just a little bulky for cc imo.

Bah!

And here I'm fully intending on carrying a HK USP Tactical in .45
I might also end up with a P2000SK in 9mm for those times I just can't conceal the Tactical. It'll double as the pistol Pami uses for the various Handgun Classes we're going to take. Most of them really don't accept a .22LR as a good training pistol.

That is going to be a big carry gun.

Yeah, I think I'll be carrying it in the Laptop bag holster I'm having made.
Standard Kydex body, with a large flat sheet covered in velcro....

Under a jacket with the Miami Classic won't be awful.
On the belt, with a heavier cover won't be bad either. I'm not convinced it will work as an IWB carry gun. We'll see.

You are going to need some bigger pants. I have never shot one but I took a class where a guy was using one and it was big. I forgot you mentioned before you would be carrying it in a bag or something.

I'm liking the Compact! I will definitely need to hold one in my hand first before I make the purchase... I don't want to buy it and be disappointed like I was with the Glock 30.
