I’ve been looking at a firearm online that states it is a Sig Compact 45acp, with a 3” barrel. Everything I’ve read states the barrel on these models are 3.9”. Were any possibly made with a shorter barrel ? Thanks. | ||

Thanks for the help; I have tried that, plus writing Sig, but they’re very slow to answer. Will keep checking around. | |||

So it might be 3.3” or 3.9 ? I’ve tried to find some type of reference for Sig handguns, but have come up short. | |||

3.9" has been the standard for SIG “compact” pistols like the P228 and P229. I have never seen any authoritative reference to a SIG Classic line pistol with a 3" barrel. ► 6.4/93.6 “ Enlightenment is man’s emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one’s own understanding without another’s guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one’s own mind without another’s guidance.” — Immanuel Kant | |||

I replied and deleted it when I realized you were referring to a P220. My reply was about the 'ultra compact' 1911, which was 3.3" and came in different calibers. Maybe that's what you found in your research? | |||

This is a stainless 220 listed on gunsinternational. The listing is no longer there, but the 220 is listed as having a 3” barrel. Would have posted the image but I just have a screenshot https://www.gunsinternational....cfm?gun_id=101353356 This is the only Sig I could find with a 3” barrel. | |||

Your original post indicated you were interested in the barrel length of a SIG P220 Compact, however the Guns International ad you linked to is for a SIG 1911 Compact. Two completely different guns, however both chambered in .45 ACP. Welcome to the forum.  | |||

If you're looking at it online, there should, I would think, be a picture of it. If it really has a three-inch barrel, it will be obviously short. Either one or both of you has your guns mixed up, or (if it really is a P220 Compact, not one of those ultra-short 1911s) 3" instead of the correct 3.9" is a typo. | |||
