Thoughts on Sig Sauer SP2022.

[A-J]

Saw a used Sig SP2022 at my LGS today for $449. Comes with 2 mags and case. Looked brand new.

Worth it?

Definitely worth it, especially at that price. I got mine back in 2013 when it debuted and paid $420 with tax. Now you don't see new ones for less than about $600 or so. They're great guns, and come at a good price considering it's a SIG.

Pretty interesting how the second generation of this pistol became known as the sp2022.

"These offerings feature a Picatinny rail, and a trigger guard that is visibly different than the first generation variants. The design was selected in 2002 as a new service pistol for French police, intended to have a 20-year service life (until 2022), hence the model number."

I really like my SP2022. I shoot better than my G19.

I got mine in 2016, and it's been flawless with all sorts of Commercial ammo.

The French Army and Police have about 250,000 of them, so factory support should not be a problem

They are also used officially By Colombia, Switzerland and a few other militaries

Another vote for the 2022. It sits in my night stand with a light mounted on it. Thousands of rounds through it with zero issues. Now if I could just get some “standard” capacity magazines for it…

Fantastic gun. Stock trigger is very good, equal or better than Sig classic P series triggers. IIRC Graygun used to carry this stock. Although this is supposed to be a compact gun, its size is closer to that of the P226. High bore axes, higher sights, but nothing compared to that of red dot. Very mild recoil. This is a very good service pistol. Too big for carry. Reliability is like a sewing machine. 40cal magazine will work in a 9mm pistol, will 9mm cartridge of course. OEM 10rds 40sw mag was so cheap at some point, like $10. Since it was for .40, there is plenty of room in there for 10rds 9mm.

I had a SP2022 in .40S&W. It was my first polymer pistol. I bought a .357 Sig conversion barrel for it.
For the price the OP is looking at, I would buy it.

The only thing I did not like about the SP2022 (and all the Legacy Sig Pistols) is the placement of the slide stop controls.

If you are right handed and use a thumbs forward grip, you will engage the slide stop most likely. For me, I was on top of it and the slide would never lock open on an empty magazine.

I use the same grip whether it be a Glock, Beretta, CZ, etc. The Sig hammer fired pistols are the only guns I owned where I had to alter my grip.

I've had mine for at least 7 years and never had one problem. It doesn't have a manual safety, heavy double action IS the safety. Chamber a round, de-cock the hammer, and it's in "pillow" mode. If you need it, you don't need to rack the slide, just point and fire (after you ID the target, of course)
