Curious to see one of these in the flesh.

Rare as hen’s teeth I guess!

Once upon a time the SP2022 was considered a "compact".

Was the compact version ever sold in the US?

I used to have a pic of one next to a SP2022 and it was hardly any smaller.

I too remember seeing pictures and thinking, really? Different magazine base plates? I don't believe it was ever imported for sale here but seems like I heard of a few that made it stateside via private military bring-backs...

I too recall a slide by slide comparison of the two, but can't seem to find it.

Did find this, however:



And one here:

I've never seen one, but I did buy a bunch of the compact magazine base plates. I bought them probably 10+ years ago from some place in Texas that was importing them, which I'm certain I was made aware of by somebody on this forum. No idea if they're available today. (Edit to add: see thread linked in prior post.)

Yeah I remember that. I loaded up on them too.

Meine kinder.

I think they might be discontinued now, but the old Apex Tactical M&P Baseplates would work on the SIG Pro. Just swap the SIG retainer plate for the M&P one and you're in business.

Grind down the front edge and you eliminate the pinch point 2022 mags are notorious for.

I picked one up last week asan impulse buy. Didn’t even know Sig made that model. But, I liked the way it looked and fit in my hand. I posted a rangereview on another forum. Bottom line is it shot great and I really liked it. Mine was in the Nitron finish butIthink the bright stainless slide is really cool and I would buy one of those in heartbeat.

Was the one you bought a compact version?

I've never seen any evidence that the Sig Pro Compact SPC 2009 and SPC 2022 were ever imported or sold in the US. And yes, the size difference was negligible: 0.3" shorter muzzle/barrel and a flat baseplate. They were otherwise identical to the standard SP2009/SP2022. (Which as noted is itself already a midsize/"compact" handgun.)





However, Roco Systems imported several batches of the flat Compact magazine baseplates from Switzerland for several years in the late 2000s/early 2010s, so those are floating around out there if you want to use them with your SP2009/SP2022 magazines. I had about a half dozen of these flat baseplates for my SP2022, prior to trading it off to jljones a while back.


There were a few hundred Sig Pros sold in the US through the Custom Shop in the mid-2000s that had slides marked "SPC 2009", but those were not Compact models. They were "Sig Pro Customs", basically standard sized SP2009s with some floral engraving on the stainless slide.
