    Sig P220 Match Elite :D

    First of all, thanks to Grant at Ammo Paradise for awesome and friendly service. I got my P220 today and immediately took it home to lube it up and went to the range.

    This thing is beautifully made. Mine happens to be 100% American made, there's no Made in Germany mark on the frame as they usually are. This doesn't bug me at all.

    When I first shot it, it was high and to the left at 7 yards. I had to move the rear sight to the right quite a ways to make it hit center at 7 and 10 yards.

    I'm not sure if it's because I'm not used to shooting Sigs (this is my first experience with a P series) or if there's something else off, such as the front sight, but I'll guess I'll play with it more next week. Hopefully my RO that owns a P220 is there and can tell me if it's me or the sights (most likely it's me).

    Pros: Very nicely made, no rough machining, etc. Very accurate. Looks great. The SRT has a ridiculously short reset.

    Cons: The sights seem off (could be that it's really me though). The trigger hurts after a while due to the hook. I'm used to flat triggers, so maybe that's why. Slide wouldn't look back most of my session, but I think it's cuz the recoil spring is fresh.

    Overall, this is a great gun. I can see why people enjoy their Sigs so much.

    All shots done SA, I'l try out the DA pull next time, I just wanted to get this sighted in:








    This thing is pretty damn accurate. It looks like a 1911, but feels a bit different. The grips fill in the palms of my hand better than my Baer for instance, and the beavertail is really comfortable. I couldn't tell any difference in recoil between the P220 and my 1911s, but I didn't have them side by side.

        Nice shooting. I might have to trade a 228 W.German for one of these bad boys.

                      Fantastic guns. And Bladetech can now make a holster for them.

                        The slide lock issue might be that you are riding the slide release with your thumb.

                            Thanks everyone, I really enjoy this pistol. I could very well be hitting the slide release on accident. I'll definitely be aware of that next time at the range.

                            I also looked a bit more closely and there seems to be cnc machining marks on the frame at certain angles, but it doesn't bother me.

                            My biggest issue now is the rear sight being adjusted far off to the right for me to get those groups posted above. I readjusted the sight so that it's center above the firing pin. I'll see if it's shooting to the left again. It could be that I was just not used to the pistol or I'm flinching (very consistently) to the left lol.
