The Sig 220

[Ivan the Butcher]

I have 2 W. Germany 220's and a W.Germany 245! I love how they all shoot. But they are a little thicker or wider than a 1911. My preferred method of carry is a Galco Small of the Back holster, but have used a belly band a few times under a bulky sweater. I have about 20 mags all together: The Sig's are flawless as expected and the Meg-gar haven't had any problems, that was a pleasant surprise!

I bought the first one used in 1970 or 80, I think the hammer is bobbed for DAO, but one thumb can cock it back if desired. The second and the 245 came along in the 80's. Love 'em all!

The Sig-Sauer P220s are extremely reliable .45s right out of the box, and have a good rep with the special forces community. I bought this one in 1997; it came equipped with factory night sights, and I still have the original box and papers. I devoted a chapter to the 220 in my book 101 Classic Firearms. For those who have the book, it begins on page 212. These are great guns.

Kind of a big, clunky, hunky, chunky, almost pitiful to look at,...... but they are the most accurate, natural pointing, easy shooting 45 auto one will ever find. I have a few and sold a few, to my chagrin, but all have been the most precisely accurate production autos ever built. I have one that is a favorite which is a DAK SAS in 45 ACP that is smooth on all edges and really is a beauty! My first was a Browning BDA in 45. Man, what a gun!
