Have not shot it yet, but seems pretty sweet. The grips are a little too bulky for me, so I'll have to round up some thinner models, if I can find them.

I saw one of those today, great looking pistol and an excellent set of sights. Probably the stoutest rear adjustable sight I've seen on a new production pistol. I agree with you on the grips, they felt a bit thick and they made releasing the thumb safety somewhat cumbersome given that it's not a long "paddle" like some 1911's. Nothing a thinner pair of grips won't solve. Looking forward to a range report!

Almost walked away from the Sig Pro Shop with one after I picked up my Sgt.'s retirement gift (P229). I'll be following your eval closely, but one making its way here is likely inevitable.

Sig Sauers are better than sex no, I just can't buy into that. I have had sex, and I have had Sigs, and sex is much better.

Very nice, Patrick! I'm a sucker for the 10mm and Sig has always impressed me. That will likely be a very fine shooter.
As soon as you shoot it some, we're going to need to see pictures of groups.

Those old bulky grips are a deal breaker. You ought to just send that to me.

Invest in a pair of Hogue G10 Pirhana grips for your P220. Much thinner than stock grips and they feel amazing.

Thanks, I found some on Feebay. They appear to have them for the 220 single action, too.

I've had 3 department issued 220s. Two were reliable out of the box but the third had some minor issues that were resolved. Damn fine handgun.

The Hogue extreme grips arrived from Midway. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/21...heckered-g-10-black?cm_vc=ProductFindingWhen installed they are about .10" narrower than the factory grips shown above, but about the same length. The factory grips, by the way, are engraved on the inside: "HOGUE P220 SAO REV A" so I guess they are made by Hogue. To me they need to be made with less filler on the backstrap, though others may like them. They have more checkered surface than the factory grips, and are definitely better feeling. Not sure about $101 better, however... The trigger is decent, smooth but a little creepy, without a crisp break. I guess it's better than my Sistema and my 938, but not as good as my Combat Elite, where I just finished a trigger job. The Les Baer beats it handily. Never have done a trigger job on a Sig, so that may be a learning experience. I took the slide off, and noted that the stout recoil spring is made from stranded wire, which should help its durability. The key working surfaces, like the breech face, are smoothly finished, which is a smart move on Sig's part. I noted that it smoothly fed a Buffalo Bore 220 hardcast load, cycling the slide by hand. So far I find no one who makes a holster for it, so that will be one challenge. The gun I see most as a hunting pistol.
