P220 ST G3540XX 220C-45-SSS-G, but I thought she was a 220R-45-RTSS. I traded a P220 Compact SAO (220C3-45-BSSP-SAO) for her.    Nifty, low mileage gun. Needs an SRT. | ||

The slide could have been refinished in black. Maybe Nitron by SIG. Q | |||

Hoping to get an answer from Sig CS tomorrow. Are we certain Sig never made a two-tone gun like that? | |||
|
and every one of them words rang true and glowed like burnin’ coal. |
Congratulations! I love the steel framed Sigs, especially the P220ST. | |||

Yes they did, both in full size and carry versions. But, their labels are correctly “RTSS”, not “SSS”. “SSS” like on your box label should indicate an all natural stainless gun. Q | |||

If the box label matches the pistol’s SN# then as Q stated above the pistol should be all natural stainless. Love this pistol in two tone all stainless. Beautiful pistol. | |||

So it's likely that someone had the slide Nitron'd afterwards? In any event, I really like it. That's how a two-tone should be. | |||

I love reverse two-tone SIGs. So much that I once had SIG Nitron my X6 L1 slide. It's no longer in my collection.  This message has been edited. Last edited by: 12131, Q | |||

| probably a good thing I don't have a cut |
Unless Sig can say they did, you'll probably never know, they could have just swapped slides as well. | |||

Great choice! I just bought a 2007 built Sig P220 ST 2 months ago. Like yours, mine has the internal extractor. I had issues with FTE’s and doing the live round extractor test extractor barely held the 230 gr round. Called SIG got a free label, shipped it on a Tuesday and it was back home in 1 week with a new extractor! Sig still does have the internal extractors in case you have issues. Gray guns has a $200 fix, I’m not quite sure what exactly he does, but it’s awesome Sig still will service it for free. Hopefully you’ll be good to go, but in case you do, you’ll be covered! Enjoy, it’s a fantastic, accurate .45! | |||

I have sent ten P-series guns to Sig for the SSP, AEP, and SRT treatment (220s, 226s, and a 229,) and this one will go as well. To be honest, though, I don't think they'll be able to improve the action, so this will be more of a "please look her over, replace the night sights, fix anything else that needs fixing" trip. | |||

Nice!! | |||

| My other Sig is a Steyr.  |
Nice! While it may be a bit smaller, I have a P238 in the same reverse two tone finish. | |||

Off to Sig for the Sig Service Package (w/ X-Ray night sights) and Short Reset Trigger. She will also be evaluated an Action Enhancement. They said that sometimes with older firearms, the internal parts will not be able to be polished and honed. Ten of my Classic P-series guns have been to Sig, and most times they sent back a little bag with the parts they couldn't polish/gone. Truth be told, I'm not sure they can make the DA pull and better, but I'd let them try. They'll get two more guns from me for similar treatment- P220 SSE and a P226 ASE 9mm- and then I'm calling it quits. | |||

That is mighty slick! | |||

Just got her back today (odd Sunday delivery that I didn't expect.) AEP/SSP/SRT I've always said nice things about the job they do on this service package, and I can continue to do so. Whatever problems Sig is having has not seemed to affect the Custom Shop and folks working on legacy P-series guns. | |||

Problem is, Sig should have accepted that there was a problem with the internal extractor back in the day. Sig denied any problems, but then introduced the external extractor to new P220ST models. It was not until Bruce Gray analyzed the extraction problem and proved it existed. He solved the problem that Sig still won't admit it has. | |||

As a side note, the internal extractor is very easy to replace, no need to send it to Sig for this. I replace mine every 500-700 rounds I find this is the life span. Sig used to send them to me 3 at a time for free. | |||
