No disrespect to airbubba; that P220 in stainless is a nice looking gun.

I have a P245 that I once used for the same purpose. I never liked the grip because it is a hair too short to get my whole hand on. I love the P220 and thought I would love the P245, but it just didn't work for me. I used it for some years as a low-capacity alternative when visiting capacity-limited states. It got decisively replaced even for that role when I bought a Glock 30S. Now my P245 is pretty much retired. I've let the night sights go dead and I just hang onto it in case my son wants it someday.

Just wanted to say, after searching for a reasonable kydex holster for my P245, I took a chance on ordering a Clinger holster for a P225. I have many Clinger holsters, so I knew they made a good product. I just received the holster and its a perfect fit for my P245. Decent retention, great for AIWB carry. Just thought I'd give a heads-up.

Your post cost me $$.

I picked up three 220C magazines for my P245. Then I saw the conversion kits, so I had to get one for my P220, plus a second magazine.

On the up side, my wife thought the conversion kit was a good idea. So I've got that going for me...
