Just traded into this nice, like new, Sig P220 (made in Germany) from a local gun show dealer. Don’t know exactly how much I have into it since we did some trading, but he only wanted $575 for it at the show.

Came with the correct box and two Sig mags. I took it to the range with this new ACT mag which I like better than the OEM mags. Gun shot as a typical P220 at 15 yards which produced close to one ragged hole.

Picked up this set of Altamont grip panels, used off the net. Really makes a BBQ gun out of it.

This has the original twisted multi wire recoil spring. Already bought a pack of new recoil springs from Sig.





Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated.

Congratulations on your new P-220.

That is my favorite vintage.

Good looking grips too.

Nice looking gun and grips. Altamont makes some decent grips for the money.

Great score with some very handsome grips! Guess I've been attending the wrong gun shows.

Nice P220 Trooper Joe! I think it is apparent that you have the SIGness. Smile

Great counterpoint or rebuttal to all those "gun shows suck, I'm never going back" threads.

I love a Sig 220. I used to shoot one against two friends that had Kimber Gold Match Stainless 1911s. I matched them shot for shot but I sure had to work hard. I ended up buying a Kimber too. I sold the Sig but still have the Kimber.

That is about the finest mass production handgun ever made, and you got a really nice example of one.

That's awesome. 220 has always been one of my favorites and that looks like a really nice one. I prefer them without a rail for purely aesthetic reasons and stupidly let mine go thinking I'd be able to easily replace it.

I've got a 220R and it's a great gun, but it just isn't the same.

Only issue I ever had with the ACT Mags was I had two crack at the back. To be fair, I wasn't gentle with those mags and I have no idea how many times they might have taken a bad fall onto a concrete range. They replaced the mags and I never had another issue.
