Used, for $799 out the door. I have to ask if it comes with the box and all 3 mags. In almost absolutely flawless condition. I field stripped and inspected it, too.

I put hands on it, and I think I'm in love. Grip feels perfect, trigger is the SRT and is wholly acceptable to me.

I'm having a tough time with this one. I just got a promotion at work, so I'm feeling a little spendy. :lol: Not to mention I need a .45 in my life again.

Thoughts?

It's not a 1911.

 

[GT Jon]

Nope, you know that 1911's and I are a horrible combination. Abusive relationship all the way around, full of neglect and love/hate.

EDIT: Comes with the box and only one magazine. Hmm.

Just get the 30s

 

[DevJames]

Or a 21 for a .460 Rowland conversion.

 

[Cuda66]

Offer $700...with the box and one mag, that's in line.

I had that exact same gun except I paid well over a grand for it. They used to be not easy at all to find and I was happy to snap it up and pay the 1000+ it cost me. The combat adjustable sights require a really small hex wrench that you can get Sig to send you if it's not in the case if you buy it.

Mine was an awesome gun, very accurate, and I love the 220 grip. I sold it when I found the 220 Match Stainless Elite I had been drooling over and honestly I'm not sure I came out ahead. The MSE is nice but I don't get any better groups with it than the Elite Dark did and the Elite Dark wasn't as much of a heavy beast.

I haven't seen any used ones for sale anywhere so I have no idea if 799 is a good price or what the "market" price is. I will tell you I got 925 for mine when I sold it at a gun show.

For 799 OTD I don't think you can do better, but I'm an admitted P series fanatic. On the other hand, sheeeeeet Jethro if I can get a Glock shouldn't you HAVE to buy a Sig?

Turns out it had both mags, factory case and wrench. I did some research on how much these are going for, and this guy's a decent dude to do business with, so I felt $799 OTD is a decent deal.

Good points, especially about the equivalent exchange of Glock/Sig ownership.

And so...

It is done. Thinking about hitting up the range before the unwashed masses get off work. Gotta holla at my shooting partner to see if he's up for some paper asswhoopin'. :lol:

 

[evilspringer]

Congrats!

799 OTD isn't too bad.
Shop I work part time for has them for $899 new +tax

 

[CarlWinslo]

I want that. If you sell it you better knock on my door before you list it.

 

[SHOOT]

Congratulations on a fine Sig. Feels great. Just picked up my new 229 Elite Dark .40 with a .357 Sig barrel.

 

[Cuda66]

Nice.

Enjoy!

AWESOME!!!!!

I'm feeling a bit jealous though...I miss mine.

I hope you're as happy with it as I have been with P220's. They are really excellent guns and surprisingly accurate in SA mode. Congrats man.

:lol:

OK, and you know I have a bad habit of going through firearms like a woman goes through shoes. Watch, this will be the one that sticks around for a bit.

Thanks all, I'm planning on heading out to the range in a few. Will post up my thoughts on it in a little bit.

Man, I love promotions and half-days. :lol:

 

[TucsonDirt]

Congrats on the promotion and the new-to-you Sig- P220's are nice!

 

[GT Jon]

OK, range trip went well. I've noticed a few things:

!. Sights need adjustment - POI is about an inch low at 7yds.
2. The rear of the trigger bites the pad of my trigger finger
3. My grip interferes with the slide lock - shooting left-handed confirms it's an ID10T error
3a. The slide lock pinches my thumb when activating it to release the slide from lock on a mag change
4. Shooting 9mm has made me girly, complete with soft, weak hands and an aversion to muzzle blast :lol:
5. The single action has a nasty bit of creep in it about halfway through the break that was messing with me

So, I've got a lot of shooting and training to do. The pistol had no malfunctions or stoppages that weren't shooter-induced, though I only went through a couple mags worth of ammo. Here's my first two mags, downloaded to 5rds each. I started with DA as I would have as if I had presented from a holster, and the last 4 rounds of each mag were SA:

Then, everything went to ****:

:lol:

Well, I'm guessing I'll have to "earn it" with this pistol instead of lucking into a pistol that kicks ass out of the box, like the XD45 Tactical. Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase and will be spending some time figuring out a handload that the 220 likes. A bit of time learning how to shoot it, overcome my bad habits, adjusting the rear sight and feeding it something that it prefers will be a lot of fun.

So, it begins. :lol:

 

[willieH]

Very nice, congrats. The P220 Dark Elite is one of the best shooting guns I own.

 

[KentB]

The 220 is not shooting well, you better sell it to me......
I sold my 220 a few years back, dumb ass thing to do.

 

[CarlWinslo]

Now that I have held it I really want to shoot it. If you are looking for the right powder for 45 you can't go wrong with WST. I find it to be a very soft shooting powder.

 

[1lowlife]

Everyone should own a (rail-less ) P-series Sig...:mrgreen:
