| just how good of a pistol is the 220, i am going to buy one and i hear that they are good, but i am known for shooting a lot, i would like to know how accurate it is, and how reliable, i hate jams |

First , Welcome to our part of the world here at the Handgun Forum. Pull up a chair and stay awhile. The Sig line of Handguns are one of, if not the most reliable, and accurate, out of the box firearm available on the market. Sig customer service is second to none Th2 P220 model is top of the line in all respects, extremely accurate and comfortable to shoot You will not regret the choice |

I'm in the same boat. I ran across a used P220 in 98%+ condition in a gun shop last week and I can't stop thinking about it. Could anyone tell me what it might be worth? It's newer style, all blued (nitron?), only shows wear on slide-barrel contact (minor and expected). It looks like someone shot 2-4 boxes through it and traded off. I think I might be able to get it for right around the $500 mark. Thanks in advance. |

Thanks for the #'s, guys. Looks like someone beat me to the used on I saw last week. I'll have to keep my eyes open. New for $550? That would be a done deal. Most ND gunshops I've been to aren't budging an inch on their high-end stuff (even used). Thanks for the tip. |
| some guy emailed me in response to an ad looking for a sig 220, 575, comes with 4 mags, but it has the stainless slide, i really want an all black evil sig, but if someone could find me a new one for 550, i will jump on it now, right now, c'mon, im siggin, i need a fix |
Hi there Avengeusa, I forwarded your request to I-SIG as there are quite a number of P220 owners on there, so maybe someone wants to let go of his for a fair price or has info on a NIB. I'll keep you posted. C-2-6 |

Update! I was back in said gunshop today, returning a scope base and noticed the Sig I had been looking at was still there. Salesman said that someone had put it on hold and negotiated trade-in and such, and the deal fell through. I felt this must be fate(my wife argues this point), so I looked her over(the gun, not the wife), yep 98%+, with case, triggerlock, 2 mags. Took it home for $500(and tax), and shot it this afternoon. Real nice pistol!! Forgot ear plugs though, my ears are still ringing 5 hours later. Avenge USA, aren't the stainless slide models worth quite a bit more? I thought those were the P220 Sport or something like that. I thought I read that they retailed for a few hundred more than the standard P220. |

the 220St (stainless) is different than the sport model, From their site: The SIG Sauer 220 .45 SPORT model is built on a stainless steel frame with a stainless steel slide. The SPORT pistol is enhanced by a match grade heavy contoured barrel, a weighted frame extension, adjustable sights and extended controls, sorry best I could do for a pic on short notice  The Classic SIG Sauer P220 known for its “out-of-the-box” accuracy is now also available in a stainless steel frame and slide for added heft and balance. The magazine release is reversible for the left thumb to release the magazine.
