Looking at a SP2022 in .40 S & W at a local shop. Pistol is basic blue, with hard plastic Sig box and one mag . Priced at $429 but I might be able to talk them down a bit. Members who have how do you like the .40 version?
thanks

I own a SP2340 (original version of the .40 Sig Pro) and I find it the softest shooting 40 I have ever shot. It's even better when you swap in a .357 barrel.
Can't speak to the .40, but if you're accustomed to the 2022 in 9mm then the 357SIG will definitely crank your wrist in a notably harder fashion. As always, try before you buy if that's reasonably possible. If not, I'd snivel a bit when negotiating price if I thought that would help.

I've had my SP2022 .40 for 3 years now, and it is one of my favorites. It's a rugged and accurate workhorse that can be put into any emergency prep backpack with no concerns at all. And with a .357 Sig barrel, it's a LOT of fun to shoot.

If your a fan of the Forty it's a great choice.
Same here. Even compared to a 229 or HK USP 40. 2022 prices have gone up since COVID. I would go for it at that price if you can’t get them to come down.

I had one, with internal extractor, 357 sig barrel, several magazines with flat baseplate. I only shot it a couple of times with the original 40 cal barrel, liked the 357 Sig better.
Had 3 nice holsters for it, which I included when a forum member here purchased it. It was very easy to conceal in a IWB holster.
I regret selling it.

I picked up mine in 5/2018 for $340. Things are a little different now. If you do pick it up I doubt it will let you down. I hope you can talk them down at least the price of a mag.
I still think it's a clever design. And if you can miraculously locate a 9mm barrel then you have a nice conversion.
Thanks, may try to grab it tomorrow if they will go $365 since it only has one mag. Checked and sig pro/ SP2022 mags are expensive . I did not think they were that pricey.

I picked up one a few years ago these boards and really do enjoy it. It handles great and convinced me that it's not plastic guns that I don't like shooting, it's just Glocks that I don't like shooting.

I also have the SP2340 in DAO and it has been solid. Thousands of rounds later it has never had any issue. I know when I pull the trigger it will work every time. I also have a .357 barrel which I used for years, but since I can rarely get 357 ammo I've switched over to the .40. At first I regretted the decision to get a DAO but now I shoot it better than any other handgun I own or shot. Wow does it have a smooth trigger.

The design of the SP2022 mitigates recoil substantially. My 40 SP2022 is like shooting a 9mm. I shoot standard pressure 180gr and sights are perfectly regulated. The 40SW offers extra power over the 9mm and this design makes it easy to shoot.It’s a very good deal at $429!

I took out my 2022 yesterday hoping the 40/357 slide and barrels I ordered would get here. I hate to admit it but I took the 9mm slide off and ended up having to read the reassembly instructions to get it back together right.... Sig sure got funky with that... I'm looking forward t seeing what it will do in 357. Fellow member shipped this slide and barrels to me with signature required and I had to leave before the mail came and so now the damn post office is closed on Monday ... will be Tuesday now if I'm lucky.
