Opinions on P220 Sig?

[breakinparts]

I am looking for a carry piece. I heard these things kick ***... 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.

Hi Breakin,
I have an older P220, with euro style mag release. I am not thrilled with it, last time I shot it along side my 1911 it wasn't nearly as accurate with same 230 FMJ hard ball. The other thing I don't like is the decocker...scares the heck out of me and anyone watching when I drop the hammer.

Can I understand your interest in a 45 ACP, even if full size is a bit much to pack (I used to tote a 1911). My pick in a new 45 would be the Glock 21SF. Much better, safer action in my book.

If you have or anyone else has a Glock 21SF, I'd gladly trade my SIG P220 for it...

There is no risk dropping the hammer. Most SIGs have that design.

That reminds me, how much would you want for the SIG?
