Which P220 Compact had the extended beavertail?
The P245 thread reminded me of a similar pistol but it had an extended beavertail. Was it certain years of the P220 Compact or some other model all together that combined a single stack classic Sig in 45 with this frame?

Believe it or not, SIG did make the P220 Compact SAS with the full beavertail. Roll Eyes

You may be thinking of the Carry series. The P220R3 - R is for rail. 3 is for 3.9" barrel - is called the Carry and Sig sold a variant it designated as Elite, which had an extended beavertail.

I'm not sure of the difference between the P220 Compact and Carry.

The picture below is a P220 Carry Stainless Elite. Note Beavertail. There were also Basic Elite, Dark Elite, Platinum Elite, and Equinox Elite models sold.

The carry is a full-size grip with shorter slide. Like a 1911 Commander vs a full-size.

The compact has a shorter grip and slide

I’m not sure if this model at the following site originally came in that format as an SAS, but I seem to recall some in the classic Pseries format. Da/sa.

I've got one of these uncommon gems. Very nice shooter as well as a CCW choice.
