Sig -Sauer- P220

[PORSCHE928S4]

When Keith's had P220 Police trade ins for $500 I picked one up, got a 225 as well, both W German.
Been a solid shooter so far.
Unknown round count when it started needing a tap to go into battery when it was cold out.
Replaced the springs and rebuilt the hammer system with the E2 system using a Sig Armorer Superstrut.

Sig has come out with the classic line of the 226

Not quite…

Sig P245 Review: Don’t Call it a P220 — Hipster Tactical ™

Conceived as the ideal compact .45, the P245 incorporates innovative design characteristics that not only distinguish it from the P220, but—in some ways—make it superior.

Yes got it the internals are not the same and the P245 is DA/SA while the P220 compact is SAO but they are the same size and use the same mags and can use full size P220 mags albeit hanging out but still work

Good info, one correction: the p220 compact uses full size mags

Good info but one correction, the p220 compact uses full size mags

The P220 compact and P245 use 6 round mags and can accept full size P220 mags . The P220 carry however has a shortened slide and a full size frame and does use full size P220 mags and cannot use P220c/245 mags .

Thanks! Learned more from you again - thought there was only one "c" variant

I always thought a slightly cut down P225 would have been a great carry weapon.

Sig made a shorter slide for the P220?

yes when they made the conversion kits and older pistols. They made the compact (cut down frame and slide) and the carry ( full size frame with a chopped down slide)

Apparently this feed got moved and I haven't relayed anymore comments since making my purchase. After seeing the video of the option of staking out the grip safety I elected to take a chance and bought another 1911, this is the Sig Nightmare carry fastback . I haven't as of yet shot it partially due to the fact that I'm trying to get all of last firearms on my list prior to that stupid Oregon restriction going into effect and secondly I purchased a Kramer leather holster and it had not arrived yet. Honestly this 1911 feels really good in my hand and I decided while it's still possible to purchase another 1911 buildable receiver from Caspian arms. This will in fact be my first attempt at creating a 1911 from components. Hopefully it goes well
