I have been carrying this weapon for over seven years, and would prefer no other. Reliable, accurate, and damn good looking to boot.

My department has issued this outstanding weapon to its deputies for over 15 years! I've enjoyed it so much, I have a personal one as well.

Our department recenlty switched from the Berreta 96D to the Sig Sauer P-226. I bought my own P-220 because I am a big bore fan. It is a great gun accurate and reliable. I carry mine on duty and off-duty in an inside the waistband holster.

One of the finest instinctive shooting pistols ever made. This pistol saved my bacon. It hits where you POINT it. You might not have time to find that front sight. I didn't. I believe in big holes in bad things. They drain faster. Do not opt for the small bores. .45 is the way to go and if you train, why would you need 15 rounds?

I've been carryong a .45 P220 for almost 10 years now. Sure, there are newer and even some lighter guns around these days, but the P220 still shoots as good now after a 2000-3000 rounds have been shot through it as it did when it was new out of the box. The accuracy hasn't degraded one bit. The only downside of it seems to be that the finish has a tendency to wear quickly. Mine is still in pretty good shape, but I've known a numbe of officers who have had to have theirs re-done. Other than that, no complaints.

I have this gun...LOCKED AWAY. It is too good of a weapon to carry daily. The Sig 9mm was the first truly perfect 9mm. Others came along. But this one set the standards.

I have been carrying a Sig. P-220 for nearly 10 yrs. I recommend it highly. Very reliable and very accurate to shot. Will not carry anything else.

Typical Sig quality. Love the caliber but unless it's in the S/A version I don't care for the first double action shot.

Cool gun.

carried this gun for several years . loved it great duty weapon.

straight shooting gun. never jammed, accurate as all get out.

As relablility goes the Sig P220 is a good weapon. However for left handed officers like myself it is not very friendly. Having to use your trigger finger to work everything is a pain in tha a**. Not sure if they make an left handed model, but according to my department they don't. Would be nice to have models for all officers.

I love this gun. I have always preferred Sigs to other pistols I've shot. Great balance, great fit for my hand, and easy to field strip when it needs cleaning. Only problem is its too bulky to try to conceal off duty, plus it would be better if Sig would make a double stack mag instead of being limited to 8 shots.

Very accurate out of the box and reliable! I have wanted one since I carried my buddies when I did private armed security for jewerly shows. The gun is well worth the price and the quality is superb!!

Grate gun my office use .45 acp, Price $600 and up.

Its cool....accurate and packs a punch! I've carried it for 2 years and enjoy it.

I have owned mine (in .45) for fifteen years (made in W. Germany) and carried it on duty for five years. Never a problem, failure, or jam after over ten thousand rounds.

Have carried the P220 45cal. for several years now. It is an excellent weapon that is dependable (even in adverse whether and environmental conditions such as sand and dirt). Easy to break down and clean and the Trijicon sights make shooting a breeze. None of the violent kickback of the old military .45's. A great weapon.

A world-class dependable firearm. It's everyting you could ever need in a D/A semi-auto: Dependable. Accurate and without a doubt a firearm you can trust when your life is on the line. I've had mine in .45 cal for about six years now and I haven't had a single malfunction in over 5,000 rounds.

My only criticism is the stock sights. Get a quality tritium set-up before you even fire it. The stock sights are the pits!

One of the most dependable and accurate guns right out of the box!

I want one!!! Only a month or so left till I've got one!

Shoots true, easy to clean and keep functional

An outstanding firearm that stands up to time. I bought mine used 10+ years ago and have been carrying it every since. 3000 rounds later it shoots like the day I got it. The first trigger pull is long but everything after that is S W E E T !!!

In my opinion, the best natural point of aim weapon on the market. If you get a chance to hold one, close your eyes, come up on target, and open your eyes. I guarantee you will be on target with almost complete sight alignment. It is perfectly balanced and the single stack magazine makes for a great grip for smaller hands like mine.

Excellent pistol. I love my P220R, the fit and finish is fantastic and I have not had a single failure in more than 1,200 rounds fired since new (July of 2007). It is also very accurate when I do my part.

I carried this gun for 6 yrs and loved it!!!!

Excellent gun. My favorite in my collection. Very accurate, smooth shooting and easy to field strip/clean. Put over 8,000 rounds down it and still like new.

I carried this sidearm for 20 yers, it was the most reliable weapon I owned, my qualifications scores with this weapons were the highest. I was fortunate that we could carry our own weapon of choice, I am a believer that you should carry what you are most proficient with, not what the department gets the best price on.

I owned the P-220 Carry SAO MSRP. $1029.00 Awsome weapon worth every dollar I spent. "GOT SIG"

Shot the P220 for the first time today. Great gun! I enjoyed shooting it, though the round capacity makes you struggle to get the rounds in the mag to keep up with courses of fire. Other than that, accurate and nice!

I really believe in the big bore now. I never thought I would say that. I am a true believer since my company has opted for the P220. I never thought carrying a .45 ACP would do this to me. I will trust and carry P220 from now on.

I've ALWAYS been a Glock .22 fan, always. When I switched over to State Police in 2003, the dept issued the P220. Instantly I disliked it. It was heavy, had a hammer, and being a .45 it only held 8 rounds. Well, after the first day of shooting my Sig, I loved the thing. It was so smooth on the range, never malfunctioned. Out of the box I shot better, more accurate with it then I did with 7 years experience on a Glock. More knock down power and more accurate, I'll take the fewer round capacity, clearly I wouldn't need as much. Its an amazingly durable weapon. Only caution: keep it well lubricated. Keep oil on it and you'll have a weapon to cherish.

LOOKS LIKE ITS A CREAT FIRE ARM A POLICE SHOULD HAVE

to hell and back reliability! nothing left to say.

Great weapon onlly one jam todate. we are still using 7 load magazine & 8 load is on order. once u break in new holltser and spend hours @ the range very dependable, old magazine sometimes become aproblem time wise. Only negiitve the size of grip for me, prefer a smaller grip,, SOP unable to modify take home Sig, & weight after standard 12 hr. shiift, with mucho OT. you know after shift that u carried. Ok I feel stupid, finish shift Fri 0630 and decided to sock magazies in brake freeze for i hr. and drip dry. its been along wk with work (OT) & college sch. also clean weapon during fri am. After many yrs. of weapon maintenace i am having a brain fart to resmble Sig Sauer P220 can soneone help OK u can laught lack of sleep past week thanks George

excellent shooter

I recently shot the .40 and .45. Both shoot extremely well and are a smooth shot. Our dept. will be carrying the .45 within a couple of months.

Shoots smooth but makes it hard on a lefty

I really enjoy shooting this weapon and have had some of the best scores with it. Hardly any recoil plus how smooth the trigger action feels when shooting this pistol. I like the .45 p220 very nice handling grip feels great sight alignment.

A very good weapon. I carried one for several years.

CHIEF601 TAUGHT ME WELL. I LOVE THIS PISTOL!

thats da shit fight there

My favorite handgun. Truly a pice of art. My duty Glock is a fine tool but will never have the character of a SIG!

An awesome tool! We carried this weapon briefly after we switched over from the Sig Sauer P226 (9mm), then traded the P220 in on new P226R's. I liked the original P226 (9mm) that we carried, loved the P220 that we carried, and absolutely HATE the P226R that we now carry.

The time I spent with the P220 was a great experience. I shot a 239/240 right out of the box the first time I handled it. A quality weapon by Sig Sauer!

reliable under any condition....

This is one of the best guns out there in my opinion.

Did not like the 9 mm gun.... smaller cal, would like more bullets!

Ill give this gun what it deserves, a five-star rating. I also have this weapon and have no quams with it except I like a high capacity magazine. You only need one hit from this thing and you will be folded up like a pretzel so I usually only carry mine on search warrants. Great duty weapon.

I have this weapon in .45 ACP. It's a great pistol. It's accurate, easy to shoot, easy to aquire a sight picture and it's sexy too...LOL.

Not fancy, but packs the .45 punch. Throw on some Crimson Trace Laser Grips and all is well. Purchased mine in 2002 and no troubles.

This was my first duty weapon in 1995. My agency recently converted to GLOCK (not a bad weapon), but I still believe that the P220 is a solid weapon. I still own my first P220 from 1995 and use it as a secondary (not back-up) weapon for the job. I have never had an issue with this weapon, of any sort. Would highly recommend this weapon.

The best handgun I have ever owned!

Great gun.

A very fine and dependable firearm. It is easy to maintain, very accurate, and extremely effective.

BEST OUT OF THE BOX WEAPON I HAVE EVER HAD. I HAVE USED IT FOR YEARS.

I carried the SIG P220 .45 for 13 years. My department decided to have the SWAT team carry the Springfield XD .45. If you think the SIG is heavy, Stap a boat anchor in your holster to condition yourself to the extra weight. Anyway I now own the SIG I used to carry. It is overall the best combat weapon on the market. It will rust, but your boots don't stay shiney if you don't polish them.

This is a quality firearm. We carry the P220ST. It's accurate, but only holds 8 rounds and it's heavy. Several ounces heavier than the blue steel version.

I have carried a P220 for almost 20 years. It is a simple gun to operate and eats everything I've fed it.

Best out of the box 45 cal on the market for accuracy, dependability, balance. Easy to field strip. Perfect weight to dampen the recoil of the 45 cal. The night sights are easy to pick up. The single stack grip is very comfortable. Digests all ammo and can handle the heavy 45 cal loads. This is a Real Gun not Tupperware with rifling.

Very effective weapon for the brass/detective/plain clothes position. It's well known, shoots well, and looks good! However, for the "gonna have to fight someone, chase someone, or hold it at point for several minutes street cop", it's maybe not the best weapon to have. Loved mine till my first foot chase that led me into knee deep water. It had developed rust by that morning. Overall not a bad weapon depending on it's application.

I've been carrying my sig for over 8 years in .45 cal, same cal. my back up is because in 1990 while wearing a aba class 2 vest I was shot 7 times, 5 of which were in 9mm cal., I am here and the bad guys arent, thats all the statistics I need to know. Sig is a great company.

My first ever time shooting a .45 caliber handgun was a brand new Sig 220 fresh out of the box. In fact it was my first time shooting Sig products at all and I was a little bit anxious about the legendary power of a .45. This pistol turned out to be an instant favorite with me and after shooting 100 rounds for familiarization I did the qualification course and passed with a near perfect score.

The gun is large enough to handle the recoil of the .45 caliber rounds with no problem and it fits very comfortably in the hand despite being a large frame auto. The pistol has excellently placed slide release, magazine eject and de-cocking levers, and breakdown for cleaning is fast and very easy. I carried this pistol for nearly two years while working for Brier PD, and it served me well the whole time. It is still my favorite Sig pistol (I own 3) and the one I reach for the most when heading out the door on my own time.

it's a powerful weapon
!

Best handgun in the world, 45 acp with rail mounts and MX3 Tach light you'll never purchase another weapon. Our Dept give these to patrol for duty 100 % agree Best Gun we ever had.

good product handles great in all types of weather

excellent firearm

I bought this gun when I started the Police Academy in 1990, I carried it throughout my 18 year career. I've fired well over 10,000 rounds through this weapon, including some with the gun submerged in fresh water, not one jam. Other than having to replace a grip screw, and a "tune-up" in 2000 (more for piece of mind than anything else). This is arguably the finest most reliable .45 caliber semi-auto in the field today. I would recommend this weapon to anyone authorized to carry a .45, It saved my life twice!

I am a big sig fan. I love my 220.

Very nice quality. Easy to shoot.

I love my 220R. Our entire department just switched over to these from S&W4583. So much more reliable and easier to shoot. Great duty weapon and one of the best guns I've ever shot with a light system attached.

light weight and easy for a womans grip

I have owned one for 6 years.. A fine weapon, very accurate and reliable big bore.

This Sig Sauer will never let you down. Comfortable, easy siting...one of the must haves.

Reliable, just the right weight, spot on accurate, and nothing less than a .45 for a primary duty weapon in my opinion.

I have an original Browning BDA .45, the predecessor to the P-220. I can't say enough good things about these handguns. I carry a different one while on duty, but off duty, this is the one I always carry. Tough, accurate and works the first time, every time!!

I have carried this weapon offduty all of the time, a sweet shooting gun.

I have carried this weapon off duty for 15t years. Easy to handle, easy to clean. Holds it's value.

I switched to the Sig P220 45acp when my agency demanded trigger cockers in 1983. I carried it in uniform and in plain clothes work for 25 years. I put over 15k rounds through it and it shoots as well or better now than it did new. Qualification was always a snap with this weapon. I never had a problem with it and it saved my bacon a more than a few occasions. I want it in my hand when the zombies come to call.

i would give this a 4 star note reason why i worked for sig arms i have inspected i dont know how many of them i belive it does the job..

Never really liked the trigger pull or the actual feel of the weapon.

I love this piece. I had a .45 in the academy and I had never felt a better gun than this one.

A great shooter right out of the box

This is a fine weapon.I liked the way it felt and functionrd.Big bore the way to go.

My Son loves his! Scores Pistol Expert everytime with it so I would agree with him that it is an awesome weapon!

I HAD ONE BEFORE, NICE GUN

Great handgun, I've had it for a while and have yet to have any problems with it! Definitely a good feel to it!

I was a Glock junkie until I shot this gun. I really like it and am very happy that my department issues this very nice weapon.

"This was my First uniformed duty weapon I carried. The P220 was one of my favorite guns.

The P-220 in my opinion is an excellent dead on target destroyer. I carried it during my tour with the Sheriffs office and I felt completely safe with it on my side. I have bought one and still own one and other than its discolored status I have yet to have any problems with it. Very easy to maintain and extremely fun to shoot.

The first handgun I ever owned. I sadly sold it because I was not authorized to carry it on duty. They would only allow me to cary the 226 or 229... however this gun ws phenominal. Would take this .45 over a 1911 ay day. accurate as hell, and tough as nails

Oa all the firearms that I have fired in my life, this this firearm was very smooth and accurate to fire

Shot the 220 combat at the range a few times with the threaded barrel and it was great. I also used this weapon for the concealed carry class. The down side is its size and ammo capacity. But other than that its a great weapon.

I CARRY ONE EVERY DAY TRUST IT WITH MY LIFE

ULTRA RELIABLE AND SUPERIOR STOPPING POWER !

I have carried a SIG 220 since I bought the Browning Double Action in the late 70s. I got it's SIG copy in 1985 and have carried it on and off since. It is accurate, reliable and of reasonable weight in the alloy frame version. I can find no fault with this top end example of a duty or off duty pistol. Money well spent.

SIG P220 ELITE is the one currently I carry on duty. Other than SA/DA trigger, very accurate, nice to shoot and very reliable.

VERY WELL BALANCED AND SMOOTH HANDELING JUST A ALL AROUND WELL DESIGNED WEAPON

Our department just went to the Sig P220 .45 SRT. It's a great gun, alittle heavier than what we had (Walther P99QA). Best grouping I've had in years!!!! Extended mag looks odd, but gives you 2 more rounds. We went from a 12 mag to an 8 with the normal Sig mag with extended you get 10.

I have the Sig Sauer P220 Carry SAO. MSRP was $1029 but I got it from Bass Pro Shops for only $729 and it is worth every penny. Like the claims were, it was pretty accurate right out of the box and it gets better (but that may also be me) with every box of rounds. I carry either this or a Glock 30 SF.

My department has been carrying it for the past 10 years. As senior firearms instructor and training commander for the department I am encouraging replacement with the exact same hand cannon. Replacement of service weapons was scheduled for after July, but guess what boys and girls, knixed from the round 1 budget cut. Luckily the proper choice in weapon was made 10 ten years ago. Everyone is happy with it and no problems at all.

Well now, I haven't all that much experience with pistols, but I've heard nothing but praises sang about SIG and SIG Sauer products. My dad bought a 220 in .45ACP several years ago. 7 +1 capacity in case you're wondering. I just got my carry permit a few weeks age and that's all I have to carry. The pistol need to be tuned up and it needs a new barrel because my dad fired US military issue ammo from 1942 from it and forgot to clean it. He says because the add he bought it from said it was non-corrosive. I found it in storage with marone-red rust coating the inside, I scrubbed it out and now it's very pitted. I need to get a better job so I can send it to SIG Sauer and have them tune it up for me. Better ammo would be a good idea too. Winchester "bargain box" 250 grain FMJs will have to sufice for now.

My father put his P220 through the DPS academy then he eventually gave it to me, and I've put 1000's of rounds through it. This past Tuesday I had a group of injured Marines put 600 rounds through it. ALL ORIGINAL parts and not one FTE or FTF. It's also using the original mags! I love this pistol! The only down side is that I can't keep nite sites to keep up with this pistol!

Great Weapon. Very accurate. Magazines have slam pads. Would like to see a double stack version.

this is a good choicesweet shooting

I love this weapon. I carried this weapon for over 12 years and have had no problems out of it. I've been in everything from the mud to sea water and my 220 has always fired with no jams. It's easy to maintain. If it wasn't for my wife, I would sleep with it under my pillow. This weapon is a ten star not a five.

Been carrying one for 9 years. One the best handguns on the market.

Tack driver of a pistol; I qualified for SWAT with this pistol with ease!!

I have carried thi weapon for over 20 years and fired thousands of rounds thru it. The very best!!

I carried one on duty for more than 12 years. I love the accuracy of this weapon and it's lightr weight. Just recently purchased a Taurus PT1911, hope it shoots as ggos as the Sig.

.

This gun rocks! I love it so much I'm buying another one. It is accurate, reliable and keeps running no matter what. I'm confident when I go 10-8 that I know if i need to use my P220, it'll work 100% of the time everytime.

this is a well proven handgun plus being in a 45acp you can not ask for anything better by your side ior in your hand when the time come to use it

I love this gun. It is reliable with a quick recovery time. My only complaints about this gun is the cost. I don't know where they got their prices. I can't find a sig for under $800. My P220 Equinox was $1000, but worth every penny.

I carried a Sig 220 .45 on duty for 8 years. If my department didn't MANDATE glock 22's, I'd still be carrying it. I believe it is the finest duty weapon ever produced. Glock 22 is an ADEQUATE weapon only. It fires when you pull the trigger. The sig fits my hand like a glove and is a natural pointer. Extremely reliable and accurate. Glocks are overrated.

LOVE MY SIG 220, OTHER THEN THE LACK OF AMMO. I CARRIED MINE FOR 10 YEARS AND JUST RECENTLY GOT A S&W M&P IN THE 40 CAL. BUT I STILL CARRY THE SIG OFF DUTY. MIGHT LET MY SON USE IT FOR DUTY. IF HE IS NICE. LOL

Excellent firearm! Very reliable, easy to break down and it's a SIG! How can you go wrong??

Great Weapon, will Never let you Down

Perhaps one of the best .45s in the world and hanguns. I have a used one on layaway, yeah!!!!

Flawless! Solid feeling and always feeds no matter what I put into it. Mine is over 15 years old and I have replaced the recoil spring and other than that it is going strong. many rounds down range and is still on target as much as my old dinosaur eyes will let it be!

Absolutely amazing firearms, almost perfect because of it's accuracy, reliability, durability, and with the .45, it's takedown power.

This is what I carry on duty and sometimes off duty. This is an excellent firearm! 45 ACP Baby!

I've carried this for 18 years, no problems, ever. Still qualify as easy as the young bucks with their high capacity Glocks. If you can't hit it in 2 or 3 then throw the thing like a rock and run.

I have carried a sig P220 for about fifteen years and feel that it is the most outstanding firearm made today. I have never had a malfunction. Before I started carrying my P220, I carried a Sig 226 it is also a very fine weapon

Good function.

Great gun

I truly am a sig fan i carried the 229 for 3 years and now i carry this weapon and i am very pleasewd with this one now.

great handgun.

it save time in reloading a regular gun-- this gun has a clips that is already prepared to use when one is empty--to me its good for back up.

Another great gun from Sig. Easy to cary off duty.
