I had one of the 220s made for a Canadian contract but that wound up in the US. It had the 'new world' style mag release. It was too big a gun for my tastes. I later traded it even for a 239 and a 225. I still have the 225.

Mags are getting pricy for either one.

My daily carry is a 3913 on the bod and a 908 in the vehicle console.

If I were stout enough to carry a 639 or 3906, I would pack a steel frame 1911.
The 220 had the heel mag release. I used it as a spare backup pistol that year to my M9 and M1911A1. Never too many guns or ammo in a combat zone. I would go on convoys as the Convoy Commander wearing my M9 in leg holster, 1911 in shoulder holster, M4A1 Carbine, M79 40m GL, MP5K 9mm SMG, (.30 cal long gun either a select fire 7.62mm FAL or M700 in .300 Win Mag) and a M26 Taser. Those were just my personal guns that I carried plus 5 blocks of M112 C-4.
