Recent manufacture P226 Elite 9mm, the contours fit my hand the best, and it it more than accurate enough.

A mid to late 90’s P220 in 45 ACP. From my experience, they are eerily accurate and 100% reliable.

Honestly, I've had as old as 1980 and as new as this year SIG Classics like P226/P229 etc.

They're all good, even better with SRT

Hard to believe it's been four years. Mine is still the same. It may not have the capacity of the 9mms, and it's got more recoil, but the P245 just fits my hand perfectly. The grip is a little thicker and longer than a P225, but thinner than the P228/229. It points naturally and is very well balanced. Since my last post I've snagged a P220 Compact as well, and it's also quite good, after a little work.

Practicality has pushed me towards higher-capacity 9mms for carry these days, but my compact .45s are sticking around and will still get plenty of range time.

The only two I have left with no interest whatsoever in ever letting go;

P220 ST (Nitron)
P220 Compact SAS

P225

It was my P226R,.40 S&W. It changed when I picked up a P365,9mm. Equally fantastic as the P226, but the P365 feels more comfortable in my hand.

I once owned two of these, which my younger son shot with amazing accuracy.
Now, I have a P938 Legion and a P365, but vastly prefer the P938 for its size and 1911-style operation. Concealed carry is a joy.

Years ago, I had two P220's in .45ACP, which my younger son shot with amazing accuracy.
Now, I have a P938 Legion and a P365, but prefer the P938 for easy concealed carry and its 1911-like operation. Having previously carried an excellent Colt Lightweight Commander in .45 ACP for twelve years made the P938 a "Welcome Home" present and easier on old bones.
