I had been wanting to get a full-size 9mm for range use, not for CCW. I considered M&P, CZ, Glock, etc. but I always wanted to own a SA/DA SIG, so I just picked this up Saturday from my FFL. SIG SP2022, FDE, 9mm, SA/DA, 15+1, decocker, and factory night sights. I bought it from Grab-A-Gun. The description on the website said it came with only 1 mag. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised when I picked it up to discover that it came in a very nice case with not 1, but 2 mags (mags for this gun go for around $40.00, so getting the second mag with the gun made me very happy), as well as a decent Sig Sauer paddle holster and a different size back strap grip. All this for under $500.00! I know they can be had for less if you search around, but I thought this was an excellent value, especially with the factory night sights included.
This gun was and is produced under contract to the French government, for use by the French National Police, border guards, and other French LE agencies. The contract goes through the year 2022, hence the model designation SP2022. SIG has produced and sold tens of thousands of these to the French government; I suspect that is why they can be purchased so inexpensively by the public-the tooling has long since been amortized, so the cost to manufacture them is very low.

RANGE REPORT Went to the range Sunday morning. This is one sweet-shooting gun! 100 rounds (WWB 115 gr. ball) without a hiccup. It was dead-nuts on right out of the box. The first target on the left shows the very first rounds fired from the gun. 7 yds., modified weaver stance. As you can see, I was low-left, but the group couldn't be any tighter. I went out to 10 yds. on the second target and corrected my grip, and the result speaks for itself. The gun is very soft-shooting and comfortable. The factory Sig-Lite night sights work very well and were bright in the dimly-lit range. A couple other comments: This is a fairly large, chunky gun and I would not use it for CCW. Also, the mags are supposed to hold 15 rounds, but I was only able to get 14 rounds in each with my UpLula. No big deal, as this will be used on the range only. I'm very pleased. This gun is a keeper!
