I am also a big Sig fan, I used to own every Sig from the P220 to 239. My first Sig was a 229, I got it when it first hit the market circa 1994 - it was the first pistol engineered and built around the new .40 S&W, all others were converted 9mms. I carried it for the last 20+ years of my career. At some point I swapped the original black slide and controls with nickel ones from a buddy’s P229; because I liked the two-tone look and he didn’t, it’s the only remaining Sig in my safe. I considered buying one of the 10mms when they first came out, but never warmed up to the look and feel of the current Sigs; the P210 also never did any thing for me.
The wood (Pau Ferro) grips were added after I retired, got em from Patrick Hogue at a SHOT Show a few years ago. For duty carry I preferred the original plastic grips, but the wood really looks nice. Somewhere along the way I picked up a factory .357 Sig barrel for her.
p.s. I do want a P220 in .38 Super with the newer style mag release, not the one on the heal.
