Is the Sig220 Elite worth adding to the stable as a suppressor host?

I don't know from suppressors but can say the P-220's are awesome guns. I had the .45acp but due to an economic down turn had to sell it and regretted it. Now life is better so I have the 10mm which I like very much.

I considered the 10mm, but it be the only one and I don't really want to stock the ammo.

For running a suppressor you're better off with 45 acp because it's sub-sonic right out of the gate.

No.

SAO

 

[solv3nt]

No.

SAO

I don't know that I want the SAO. I kind of like my Beretta 92s that way. Is the trigger better? Or do you still get creep like the Beretta?

Bruce Gray makes it all better.

Think SA trigger on your Langdon Beretta. Smooth, soft, but hard, and slippery with a firm, pleasant release at the end.

Sig 220's are great guns. FWIW, my 45ACP silencer host is a G21 with a KKM barrel. Very happy with it.

Years ago I put a ton of money getting my series 70 Colt to shoot accurate for the IPSC matches. Gunshop guy talked me into buying a Sig 220 and sure enough it was a lot more accurate than the Colt.

My biggest gripe with Sig is the cost of magazines. You really don't need many but Sig discontinued models and quit making magazines. I won't own a semi with low round capacity without having 4 total magazines. You are already limited in rounds so without extra mags a man is neutered.

You're trying to make " the thread " now.

ANY SIG 220 is worth adding for any reason. My German 220 is the best .45 pistol I have ever owned/used/carried/etc., even more than my 1911's (and I like 1911's, don't get me wrong). Still, yeah, go for it.

 

[ma96782]

Me.....I enjoy my M1911s BETTER than my Sig 220. But, no suppressors are being used on/with them. So.......

Aloha, Mark

So beautiful, it's calling to you.

I wouldn't mind a SAO 220... I don't think I'd whip out the cash for a DA/SA model though. Gotta get that sweet sweet trigger and I don't shoot double action anyway

Far be it from any of us to tell you not to buy a gun. I mean, we are nothing here if not enablers. The question, however, is what would Plan B be? If not the P220, then what?

To that end, I'm big fan of the M&P 45. And the FN stable has always intrigued me for 45's but I don't have any direct experience with them. HK makes a 45...but I've never really been much of a HK fan. YMMV.

But the P220 is a great gun for sure if you're ok with the SA/DA platform. I'd go the SAO route myself but there are no bad choices here.

Honestly, the Sig is plan B. I talked myself out of buying an Alchemy Prime Elite.

Why? Because it's $3500? I've ALMOST bit on a couple custom 1911s at that price range recently...

Sort of. More because I think I want it just to have it. I think I'd enjoy having it, but I've already got two Wilson's. I recently sold my 90s Python because I just wasn't shooting it. Hit me up if you're interested in that Alchemy though. A dealer has it for $3550 without bidding.

A 220 is a 220, unless it is ALL STAINLESS.
Buy a threaded barrel

 

[aasbra]

I've had both a DA/SA, and a SAO. Liked them both, and still have the SAO. For what I use them for (mainly range shooting) I liked the SAO better.

As coop44 suggested, you can swap the barrel if you want a suppressor host. I considered doing just that for one or two of my 45ACP handguns (including the 220), but then found a good deal on a 1911 that had a threaded barrel and the taller sights new from the factory, with a decent trigger. I've been happy with it, so haven't done the barrel swap on the others yet.

All the p series Sigs I've owned or own (a couple 220s, an early 226 I wish I still had, an early 228, and a 229 in 9mm) have impressed me.
