    Got rid of all my SA/DA guns with the exception of the Sig 220, 226,229 and 2022. Love the Sig SA/DA guns thats why I kept only those and sold the others. I love my 220 for OWB carry with 2 factory 10 rnd mags in the colder months with a mid size coat concealing it. The 220 is a very balanced smooth and accurate shooter. Great video and thanks for posting a great classic that will never die.

      Got mine in 2010 ... had to get the 45ACP since I cut my teeth on the Colt 1911. Heavy enough to dampen the recoil but comfortable enough so that my kids (9 & 11 at the time) could handle and enjoy it. SA/DA with smooth, out-of-the-box trigger. Best pistol for the price I've ever bought. My carry pistol as well.

    Just want to pass some info about the decocker. (Not trying to be a keyboard commando)
    The beauty in the sig decocker design is that. If decocked its activates a “plunger” making the hammer impossible to be slammed forward thus making it go off. (Well maybe taking a hammer to it.. but u get my point….) The trigger must be activated for said “plunger” to become deactivated.
    Sorry for all the non-gun smith terms.
    Enjoy shootin 👍

    This is not like a 1911; it's the anti 1911 if anything. This gun is less complex and has less moving parts than a 1911. This it has a simpler manual of arms. Both are good guns. But, this is more able to be carried due to less complexity

    Ahh man you got yourself a beauty there the P220 is one of the most accurate reliable and comfortable pistols around.. I love that it's a hammer fired..
    I know its slim pickings right now but im not a fan of the Jessie James rounds I think there loaded inconsistent as In a few will be good heavy fastballs flying down range and then some feel underpowered and just don't have any real Ummpphh to them.. I like the SiG V crowns for HP's but not too many calibers have been on the shelves lately so you grab what you can.. I also want to say that for the 45auto the FMJ Gecko Ammo is some of the best practice ammo. Better than alot of other brands IMO.

    • @BuckeyeBallistics

      Yeah that's exactly why he bought the Jessie James rounds, because that's about all he could find, said they had zero fmj rounds. We used the ammo I already had from last year and those HP's. We're sittin on everything else we have for .45 cause you can't find any around here...

      Well, funny you ask about the Ruger. For one, I did a review video on mine a year or two ago. Also, I have a video shooting it 100 yards accurately on the channel. But more specifically, I recently recorded a video, P220 vs 1911, in which I directly compared the 220 to my Ruger 1911. I'm sitting on a stash of videos right now that I upload every to every other day on average. Just for you, I will upload the P220 vs Ruger 1911 video today and then you might be able to decide. Also, obviously, I concluded in the video which one I would pick. It will be up in a few hours...
