Looking into buying one of these.
I've read lots of good reviews but never fired one, so I was looking for some input from a website that I trust for advice on all things firearms-related

I'm a SIG guy and I scoffed at the SigPro line when it was introduced. Trying to copy Glock without actually competing, probably as bad as a Sigma, etc. Fast forward a decade and a half and I picked up a two-tone SP2022 for $350. First magazine through it resulted in:
That's only 5 or 7 yards IIRC, but does include the first DA. Just as good as my P229s and P228. Used the SP2022 in my last 3 gun and finished in the top ten for the first time. I will say I wish the grip was a little more ergonomic (I rather like finger grooves). I use the large grip, which is a little hard to come by and has different texture than the other sizes. The DA pull is a bit longer than the classic P-series. It breaks way back. Also, the action isn't SRT capable, so the reset is a touch longer than I normally use. Takedown is a little different, but not hard. For the money, it's a really, really nice pistol. The night sights (SIGLITE, made by Mepro I believe) are the best I've had on any pistol. The past couple years, PSA would run them at $350 a couple times a year, but their popularity must be increasing because the prices have been too. I'd say $400 is a good price these days. Size-wise, it's slightly bigger than the P229...about the size of a VP9. Some pics: Fresh out of the box with medium grip:

(I rather like finger grooves). Hogue Handall or Pachmayr grip glove Had a Hogue slip-on on the P229 before they made the overmolded. It'd always slip down a bit and I'd rather not deal with that. Never got in the way of the magwell or anything, but not worth it to me. Thanks though! |

I really like mine in 9mm. I liked it so much that I bought the 40 but I sold it because of too much recoil. It is very accurate and the ergonomics are fantastic. It is too big for EDC IMHO unless under a jacket. I highly recommend the 2022 DVD created by the someone on the Sig Forum, but you might also be able to find good disassembly vids on YouTube.
I am keeping mine, but I would take a serious look at the P320 first. |
