It's pretty cool that sigforum got the exclusive announcement, thank you Sig.

I have been waiting for the chance to break this out again:

Hmmm... I've never really considered a 10mm before, but that might change now.

I'm gonna have to start saving now! Either that or start buying ammo.

Great. What next, H&K is going to start listening to their civilian market?
No seriously, now I will have to get one, hope it isn't too far out.

One from Bruce would be nicer, though.

Thank you, but I have met the engineer on this project, we have discussed the challenges involved, and I am CERTAIN that this new P220 10mm SIG will be a great, great pistol. They can do things the right way to handle this cartridge straight off, and I'm confident they are doing it right.

I gladly throw my heartfelt endorsement and reputation behind this project. Even if I never do another conversion myself, it's for the greater good. This has been very, very flattering and gratifying for us. We are all in.

That is Fantastic news!

Hell yes I want one

I do too!

I'll carry the monstrous thing on duty if my Undersheriff MBOYD lets me, I swear I will. That's only because Chuck Norris won't fit in my holster.

Kudo's to SIG Sauer for listening. And yes, I'm in.

Sincere congratulations, Para, on your insider role in this and being first in the industry to make the announcement. Good juju, obviously

That's the thing, Ezra!

They ARE listening. The folks we are privileged to work with get it. We all have friends there, and they want us happy.

This is a great, new day. Believe it, there is so much more coming.

We all owe LDD a huge debt for his forethought and efforts in forging new relationships and opportunities with our friends at SIG, and for them to be so incredibly gracious and receptive.

This may be premature and all, but did they give you any idea what kind of capacity the magazines would have? 8, 9, or 10?

I can't help but think that without Bruce and Para, Sig never would have done it.

Thank you.

It's only because "they" (whoever "they" were) said it COULD NOT BE DONE.

I was just lucky enough to be here to try and get it on the track, thanks to Para and y'all.

What's coming goes the full course.

-Bruce

Oh man! Big news indeed. I'ma haf'ta git in on this.

Not that I've seen around here. And I look for it everywhere I go. More than 22LR.

Good thing I have a spare Dillon Quick Change Kit.

What, we're talking about .22lr conversions already??!

J/K. What an astounding effort. Just for the record, who was the first to guess this?

P220 Stainless Elite 10mm, standard length slide and barrel, traditional DA/SA trigger

P220 Match Elite 10mm, stainless, long slide, 5" barrel, traditional DA/SA trigger

I will buy both. Happily. Very happily.

Oh, and if they come out with matching P227/10 models, then I'll buy those as well.

I never thought anything could get me to turn away from my beloved P226-SSE-357, but this very well may be what makes it a safe queen.

This is just too fracking awesome.

Thank you Bruce.
Thank you Para.
Thank you Sig.

Sorry kittens, your days are numbered.

ps. How the Heck am I going to get to sleep tonight?

I'll get back to you on this. I won't guess and we haven't discussed magazines in the context of capacity. We did go over our experiences with mag release configurations and feed lips, that sort of thing.

If anyone can dope out how to make a perfect 10mm mag, it's these engineers at SIG!

Here's hoping. I'll really need a good reason not to get a S&W 1006 next year.

Cool and very unexpected.

And the SAO long slide sounds fantastic.

Now, if they'll make an MPX in 10mm I will love them forever...

Jeff, I TOLD you so!

Never heard of it.
