Who CCW's a Sig P220 Compact? Login/Join 
Member
posted
I found a new Sig P220 Compact that has a manufactured date of April 2017 and could not resist making the purchase. I already have several other .45's but thought I would possibly use this new addition for winter CCW. Just wondering if anyone CCW's their P220 Compact (or Sig 245) and have any recommendations, complaints, suggestions or other information? I realize it's not the most efficient for weight, size and capacity, but I suspect the reliability is superb, and I do prefer the DA/SA platform.

My P-245 is one of my carry guns, and find it fairly comfortable IWB. You can get spare mags from Sig now for $10. Mine are in the mail!

I do on occasion. For me it's hard to carry in a holster in Florida, so I pocket carry a 938 in a holster and the P220 compact and a spare mag in a 10 inch tablet bag.

I have carried in the past a P245 and it carries fine. They shoot fantastically well.

I've used a P245 for my "out of town" gun for years. When I travel to less friendly/mag restricted locations.

I found mine did *not* like Hornady Critical Duty, but that's the only load that didn't group well. Gold Dot, HST, and PDX-1 all group very well.

I carried my P220 compact today. I have a appendix holster or my Sig CC coat that works just perfect.

I have an older P245 I have been meaning to send to Sig for rehab. Carries and shoots like a P225, just heavier. I am always surprised how soft shooting it is.

I have a P245 that I carry at times. Basically the same thing as a P220 Compact or at least it casts the same shadow.

It's one of my favorites, only drawback is low capacity but you can carry full size P220 mags for reloads.

I personally don't understand why the P245 and/or the P220 Compact haven't taken off with much more popularity than they have. Other makers keep coming out with a compact, single stack 45 like they invented the idea when the P245 has been around for a long time.

I find my P245 very easy to shoot well, yes it bucks a bit when it goes off but it's not near as bad as you would expect. And the good ol' SIG sights and controls and wonderful DA/SA trigger are awesome.

I have a P220 Carry SAO and a full sized P220 DA/SA and they all make great carry guns but the trim size of the grip on the "Compact" models just are so dang easy to hide.

Yes, I carry my P220 SAS Carry IWB and my P239 SAS IWB when I want a slightly smaller gun and 9mm. They are both comfortable in Alien Gear IWB holsters. I prefer DA/SA without a safety. The spare mag brings to 17 the total rounds on hand. The 220 is newer, and the grip texture is rough enough to work fine. The 239 is a year older, and the stock grip is a bit slippery, so Talon grips on it make it quite easy to grip tightly. These 2 are my favorite carry pistols.

I have carried one on several occasions.
I use a Ritchie gun leather Iwb . I believe I purchased it from top gun supply. Great holster, like a fine wine better with age

I carry a P245 regularly. I use a TT Gunleather Slim IWB and an Ares Gear Aegis belt. It's a rock-solid set up and very comfortable and concealable.

I have a p220 carry that EDC's well with a Mitch Rosen OWB holster, but it's been upstaged lately by a p250sc .45 that I like even better, also in a Rosen holster. Just a little smaller and lighter, with a great dao trigger.

I carry a P220 compact with a beaver tail with no problem in a IWB. I carry this way even in the summertime with just a T-shirt on. My favorite EDC. For some the beaver tail may not be comfortable but with the angle set right for carry it is no problem.

I carry my P245 quite a bit IWB in a VM2. It carries well and I love the way it shoots. The only draw back is capacity so I usually carry P220 mags as reloads.

I carry a 220C as a backup to my 220R when I go that route. Fits inside my external carrier just fine and shares mag compatibility.

I just picked one up at my LGS. Haven’t test fired it yet but hope after the side effects of my new and recently changed chemo cocktail are evident. Like the feel and fit of it in my hand.

I do not own a P220 compact. My every day carry is a full size P220. It has been a wonderful pistol. Looks like a beater and has outdoor deck tape instead of front strap checkering. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Very worth the pain of dragging around a full size pistol. I’m sure the compact offers the same benefits.
