New Sig P220

[MrRage]

I got to take my new Sig P220 Combat home yesterday. These 10 day waiting periods suck. Overall I'm pleased with the weapon. So far its had 100 rounds threw it and I plan on taking it to the range again in the next week or so. So here it is after I cleaned it up.



I really do like the older 7 round magazines sig made. They have a flush fit, the 7th round is not hard as hell to put in and they were half the price of an 8 or 10 round mag. So I got my self 5 of these older style mags and I'll probably end up selling the original 8 and 10 ones that came with the gun.

The gun still needs a lot more breaking in... all of the controls are still very gritty, probably due to the phosphate coating rubbing against other surfaces. I've been dry firing it with snap caps and thats helped to smooth out some of the trigger pull. But it still has a ways to go before its as smooth as my CZ75.

But yeah overall happy with it. The night sites are cool and I'm looking forward to getting a light for this thing.

Very nice MrRage.

I also bought a SIG 220R Combat a few weeks ago and I took it to the range for the frist time this afternoon. About 150 rounds later, I very happy with it and I made a wise choice.

Where did you get the 7 round mags at?

[MrRage]

Hey there gwl,

The mags were $25 from CheaperThanDirt.com. Honestly I don't miss the extra round.

[gwl]

Thanks. I'll have to look into that.

[calishine]

Congrats! The mags really bring out the beauty of the gun too.

Boy, now that is a nice Sig! I definitely plan to add a P220 to the family one of these days, but first is a P228

I have a 220R but that Combat is sweet!

[gwl]

I wish the P226R Combat was on the list.

I love my Sig P220R and I must say, your Combat looks freakin awesome! Congrats on your purchase, you made the right choice.

If you don't wanna spend a ton of money on a Surefire light, check out the Streamlights. I have one on my Sig and the quality is on par with the Surefires for about half the price. Just as bright if not brighter than the Surefires too.

Excellent handgun!...dont care for the newer style of plastic grips...too thin for my large size hands.

Nice shooting machine there!
Question.
Have you shot or tried to load mags with Wolf 45 ACP steel cased?
My buddy has a new 220 and he can't get more than 3 rounds in his mags. Any of them. Brass is fine. The ones he was able to load were fired and cycled without issue. All my 45 will eat anything...Wolf too.
He is kinda bummed.
