Well, it may help if you call them and ask what's available - not everything makes it onto the emailers or website, but they'll offer you a price if they've got what you're after.

My first handgun was a P220 in 45. W. German marked, proofed in 1995.

Great fucking pistol, I have parts to keep it going for a long long time, although it only sees the range 1-2 times per year on '45 days' along with the Colt 1911 and HK45C.

I was told a couple years ago that 10mm P220's were outselling .45's by a considerable margin.

Today's pistol consumer sees 9mm as the practical baseline, as the standard. Going for more power no longer means selecting one of the incremental options like 357SIG, .40 or .45. It's either 9, or its straight to 10.

The success of the 320 and 365 has been challenging for SIG. The old Classic Line models they replaced were highly profitable to manufacture relative to unit price, as all the hard work of production engineering and tooling were long since put paid. I see a future for certain Classic-derivative models here. It would be a shame to lose the entire iconic flagship line, particularly at a time when New Hampshire is capable of building a fundamentally superior product to Germany that we can afford. We'll be seeing something, I believe.

That wasn’t very common even 20 years ago when I started working for my agency and the mandated handgun was the P220. I don’t know for certain, but I would bet a nickel that it’s far less prevalent today.

That would be great. I hope SIG finds that the golden road to making the older models alive is to offer different options in some runs rather than merely hunkering down and settling for a steady stream of basic models, but just keeping the basic options available would be a fine thing.
