Hi Shadow,
Yes, the base gun was a SIG P220 Match Elite in .45 ACP, DA/SA with SIGs Short Reset Trigger (SRT) and a five inch barrel. Grayguns used a Bar-sto barrel and some custom magazines to convert the gun to shoot the 10mm cartridge. They may have had to modify other parts, I don't know. They also sent the guns out out have a "Superblack" refinishing, which is supposed to a surface hardening process as well as making the guns black. I also opted to have them do a Nickel-Teflon plating on the internal parts.
Kinda of a "folly" really, when you consider the expense, and that you can just buy an old S&W 1006 or a new Glock 20 and get pretty much the same performance.
The trigger won't be as nice as the Grayguns P220 conversion, but the S&W and Glock triggers can be worked on too, for less than the expense of the conversion. But the GGI P220-10 is a very nice looking "mistake"!
