This one popped up on a local board & I had to get it. It's reported to have eighty rounds through it, but I can't find evidence of it being shot at all. Not a mark. P220 Elite Stainless 10mm, rosewood grips, with three mags, & all the case stuff as new. I even got a box of SIG SD ammo with it. It was listed as a Lipsey's Exclusive, but I have no idea what makes it different from any other.

Nice!

I think Lipseys had worked out a deal to be the distributor for the first few versions of the 10mm. Mine is a two tone DA/SA with adjustable sights. The SAO came out next.

There was also a SAO that was made later. It was tagged as the GT20 for Gun Talk Radio. More of a joke really. They took so long to not give out any info that a good number of orders got cancelled. Mine was one of those orders. I used the money to buy an X-Six instead.

80 rounds? Doesn't even look like 8 rounds. Looks great!

Maybe 80 trigger pulls, of which every one might have been dry fire practice.

Nice.

Barrel looks like DLC coating which seems to not show wear. It is a box full of awsome.

BTW, This is the first single stack or SAO I've ever owned. After dry-firing it some last night, I gotta say the trigger is very crisp.

I probably can't get to the range for a couple of weeks, but I'm really looking forward to it.

Range Report needed when you can please!!

 
Be prepared to walk a good distance to retrieve your brass, especially if you shoot full power (not +P) Underwood ammo. I finally found my first box that I shot about 50 feet away.
 

This pistol is still on my wish list. Thank you for sharing & looking forward to a range report.

I have the Nitron SAO, it is a helluva gun.

Congratulations!

Bought the same gun a few months ago and it has to be my favourite gun, probably even more so over my P225 Nickel.

That just seems like an incredibly good choice.

Nice pick up. Great looking pistol.

that would indeed be the one I would have chosen in the Sig line, great for you .

do youhave a suitble back stop for all that power? though

I would love one, but I couldn't swallow the price VS the Glock 40.


Let's see a range report when you get a chance to shoot it!

Mine (the Nitron SAO model) is the most consistently accurate pistol I own. I can hit the same spot on the target with Underwood or my lower power handloads. Recoil is absorbed very well with its weight, and it is a pleasure to shoot. I've been shooting it in matches with my handloads (less power but still way over major pf). This to build muscle memory using the pistol. I carry it with Underwood, a good belt (Wilderness 1.75" 5 stitch), and a fine OWB thumb break holster made by Andrews Custom Leather. It carries quite easily, but no doubt it is heavy and there is a little bit of sag on that side, but not too much to make it uncomfortable. The Andrews holster carries it well.
 
 
 

Thanks for the responses guys. I hope to get out with it this weekend. The heat's been unbearable lately, though. We'll see. I may have to wait for a break in the weather.

It's a ton o' gun, but makes 10mm shooting a blast, so to speak. And the SIG Ammo is very good.

With its size and weight it handles even the most robust 10mm loads out there. A great shooter.

congrats its a great piece, i have one that started life as a full nitron SAO its now a reverse two tone, and sports the legion SAO trigger, thanks to a friend a sig, who pulled some strings for me, they are very fun to shoot. i picked up some buffalo bore have fun throwing flames with it

Bought one right when they came out. In fact, I don't think I was supposed to get this one as Lipsey's had a deal to distribute certain versions.

But, nonetheless, my FFL found one for me. Absolutely love the gun!
