The idea of a hammer and Sig and Polymer is appealing.

But have they suddenly jumped in price? When I was looking about 3 years ago, I swear they were about $200 cheaper -- or am I confused?

any reason (other than cost) to not get one?

reliable?

The sweet spot for the SIGPro usually hovers in the $300-400 area...any less is an even bigger steal than they already are...

SP2022 is a fine pistol. Girlfriend has 4-5,000 rounds through hers and never once a reliability issue. Unfortunately, it's a very poor choice for practicing clearing failures.

Great trigger, in fact awesome trigger. Only draw back is it's a little longer than most SIGs, but smooth and predictable.

I Think I bought hers at $464 a few years back on a screw up on GB fat fingered by bid, they were $429 at Bud's at the time. I just did a quick search they are going for $485 at bud's currently. So about $50 higher than when I bought one. I am sure you could find it cheaper if you looked harder than the one site I checked.

For the longest time they were $350-400, especially the two tones. It does appear they've crept up a bit. Currently $430 +ship at TGS: http://www.topgunsupply.com/si...d-sights.-da-sa.html

Get her a cheap 22 semi auto and run Golden Bullets. That will allow for plenty of practice. I really like my SP 2022. Great shooter and reliable. Had it awhile.

And now I see there is a REBATE until October where I can get a couple of mags and a bag.

tempting..... I love rebates

I probably should know what this means in relation directly to the 2022 as opposed to any other semi, as I've had one for years, but I don't.

Unless of course you are being facetious...and in that case I get it and would concur.

I wish I would have picked one up when they were $300.

Pay me now or pay me later. Mags ain't so cheap now.

I grabbed mine a couple years back from Bud's for $429 if I remember correctly. It is quite the shooter. I got the Swiss framed proprietary rail model pictured above. I have since added a Gemtec threaded barrel as they were on clearance for like $85. Shoots just as sweet as with the factory barrel just a bit quieter paired to the TiRant.
Under $500 it is a steal.

Huge fan of the 2022. I've owned several over the years and always made the mistake of not taking the gun seriously. It is a great size, great for IDPA. They have an outstanding trigger in DA right out of the box. Super accurate. I'm working on a couple of 2022 projects right now because I am definitely a fan.

Going price right now seems to be around the $400 mark. A watchful shopper will catch them below $300. I never remembered them below $300 new. $350-$450 has been the average for a while now.

That is for the contrast sight, not night site ones, just so you know.

My first one with contrast sights, holster and one mag was $399. The second was the Tac kit and came with an extra mag, night sights, holster and the laser light combo was $499. Laser light combo not so desirable but figured the night sites and extra mag were worth the extra $100. Really like the 2022. Both of mine are 9mm.

Palmetto State Armory was selling the 2022 a couple years ago with night sights and 2 mags for $350 shipped. That's when I bought mine, but I haven't checked PSA in a while to see what they currently are going for. It is a great gun with a great trigger. I have a 228 that I thought had a great out of the box D/A trigger until I received the 2022.

Are all the new ones going to be made in NH? Are there any new ones made in Germany, and if so, is this much of a factor?

The SP2022 still shows on the German website but IMO that is irrelevant to current pricing as ones sold here have been made here for years now.

$400 seems to be about the best price one can find these days. The lower priced SP2022 usually came without night sights and one magazine FWIW.

IMO a terrific bargain at $400 for a very robust pistol that one rarely reads about any problem with, especially in 9MM.

I'm thinking of getting another...paid $479 for mine with night sights and 3 mags perhaps two years ago. I see them with contrast sights at an LGS (Blue Label) for $419 as of last Saturday.
The new ones are made in NH.

Yes, just joking. Zero problems from this "budget" gun. Every bit reliable and nice as a P Series. If I had limited funds and could only buy one new gun in my lifetime for under $500.00, it would be the SP2022. The only complaint I have is take up, and it's a very minor compliant.

Shot another match with mine this morning. I screwed a few things up but the 2022 ran flawlessly. Guess if I am ever attacked by dogs I shouldn't try to shoot all three sub 3 seconds.

Ah, got it. Shot mine this afternoon. Another ho-hum 50 rounds through it.
