What are the disadvantages if any. I like the 220 a lot but the versatility of the new Sig is hard to pass up. I can buy at the PX without taxes and have money left over for a nice holster and magazines. Held one today and feels great. Looking for opinions. I have a railed lower now with folded steel upper internal extractor night sights and about 1K down the tube. Thanks. "Buzzards got to eat, same as worms" | ||

I have both, so I cannot say buy one over the other. The 320 can hold more and the ease of taking it apart/cleaning it would be advantages. The 220 just looks sweet to me and feels right in my hands. The P220 is my favorite all time gun, and I have five. With that being said, I bought a P320 Compact 45 2 months ago and love it as well. The 320 has become my EDC for my vehicle and I shoot the 220's when I get to the range every once in awhile. I don't think you can go wrong with either, but I can see where the 320 may be more versatile with the replaceable grip module and larger magazine capacity. | |||

I had a P320 in 9mm for a month or so - and didn't have any problems with it. That said, I don't think the P320's hold their value very well. More than a few available on the local trading site here for beaucoup discounts. I don't think you'll ever see a P220 being sold for such a big loss. Your P220 will still be worth a lot of money 10 years from now. Keep in mind that SIG dropped the P250 - I know, I have one ... | |||

If you are active duty, it would make a lot of sense to have a copy of your duty sidearm. I understand you may not be able to keep both at this time, but P220's will be around for a long while. I say go for it! | |||

I like the P320 in all flavors. For the 45 if they would hurry up and release the compact/medium shell it would move into being carried. As it is the small and the large are just a bit too much of each. But I'd keep the P220 and save up for the P320.

Ain't nothing like a classic P-series! Get a classic first then whatever else. Just sayin. For ME: DA/SA=Sig 9mm or HK P30 LEM 9 Striker fired= Glock 9mm If it's a .45= 1911 Suppressed= HK in .45 I like anything in 10mm | |||

I was at the local store eyeing a P320 in 45 and a few P220's after handling them all and feeling the trigger and reset I went with a P220 Scorpion (sweet gun!) The store manager was talking to me and said the same thing as some posts above, go with the classic P series. I'm glad I did that Scorpion 220 shoots so nice. | |||

don't know that I would be able to accurately shoot 45 compact 320.....from recent unexpected lessons I've come to realize my own window of comfort/accuracy is more related to gun mass than I wanted to admit. And there's nothing more annoying than a handgun I can not manage adequate POA/POI relationship. **************~~~~~~~~~~ "I've been on this rock too long to bother with these liars any more." ~SIGforum advisor~ "When the pain of staying the same outweighs the pain of change, then change will come."~~sigmonkey | |||

Carbon steel slide 220's with railed frames aren't that plentiful. I would not do that deal. 320's are just ok in my book and the 220 is a classic for a reason. _______________________________________________ Use thumb-size bullets to create fist-size holes. | |||

Lost, but making good time |
I have and really like both. A P320F 45acp is my daily carry at work. It gets banged up during the course of the day, but I don't really care - it's plastic, inexpensive, and just a tool. It's one of the softest shooting 45's that I've shot, and it fits me perfectly. With a set of X-Ray sights, it's the perfect fighting gun for me. There's nothing like a classic P series Sig, especially the older ones made in the 90's and early 2000's. They are sweet shooters and every gun enthusiast should have one, or a few. Than being said, it would bother me if I beat one of those up during the course of the day. If there is a way to swing having both, I'd try to go that route. It would be worth a hot dog and Raman noodle diet for a month or two to make it happen. Bye for a while, guard the fort. - My Dad | |||

I bought it from a SBI lt. Said he shot it for qualifications and some range practice. I thought it unusual to see a steel slide on a railed lower. Maybe need to research it more. I bought a Carry upper and use that mostly on it. "Buzzards got to eat, same as worms" | |||

If is possible, you should keep the P220. As others have said, W. Germany isn't cranking out the folded steel variants like they used to. "Like a horse has its rider, and the sky has its moon, a man has his loneliness, mistaken as pride." -Longmire | |||

A few years back a few 226 and 220 railed German guns came over with folded slides. Some 229R German proofed guns also came over....or back as it were. _______________________________________________ Use thumb-size bullets to create fist-size holes. | |||

These are pictures of the 220 American and as you can see has a folded steel internal ejector slide. A shooter for sure. "Buzzards got to eat, same as worms" | |||
