[ARCHIVED THREAD] - New to Sigs, Gunshop pickup of P220, Now with pictures!

Posted: 9/13/2016 5:41:32 PM EDT

Saw a Sig Sauer P220 SAS Carry model with SRT kit installed at the LGS. Its a two-tone model with stainless slide and alloy frame. I tried hard to resist but ended up walking out with it.

Does anyone have any information on this configuration of P220? Is it an oddball? Modified? POS

Looks to be quite the gun and picked it up. Looking for any and all information as well as a "market" price for comparison. Got it for about $500.

How'd I do?

Serial is roughly G378XXX (from memory)

Here are some used SAS versions, no bids and no two-tones but it might give you an idea of what people are asking for them ( no links to auctions please )
I think $500 is a great price and the P220 Carry is a great pistol.

Sounds like a gorgeous gun. I love the SAS treatment and 2 tone Sigs look terrific. If I was into carrying single stack .45s I would be taking a very hard look at a 220 like yours.

Now post some damn pics!

Thanks for the info gentlemen.

I'm pretty stoked to get this out to the range. I'll post pictures tonight and a range report when I get out.

One thing that I've noticed, having never owned a Sig before, is the "floating" hammer. Thought that was pretty interesting--a hammer with a hammer return spring? Definitely seems to lighten the trigger pull and prevents having to have the traditional cam over you get with guns like the CZ75. Is this the part of the SRT?

After reading the stickied posts, the rails look very good. When I say very good, I mean they look new. Everything about this one seems to be showing very little wear.

I suspect, however, that the slide had been refinished by Sig's custom shop. The "E" in the Exeter stamp seems to be abraded partially away.

SAS is "Sig Anti Snag" meaning they round the corners so it won't snag on clothing.
SRT should be the "Short Reset Trigger", meaning a shorter, quicker reset. I recall there was something else that fit in with that acronym, but am drawing a blank.

p220's are great guns (I want one, don't have it yet).
I would think $500 is a smoking good deal if it is in decent shape.

Very sweet!
Always weird to me though when they don't make the controls match the slide on 2 tone guns.
Bet she shoots amazing, get that range report to us

Will do. Forgot to mention it came with 4 Sig branded mags and Crimson Trace grips. I'm starting to think I made out pretty damn well for $500!

That is not an SAS pistol. SAS has no rail and would show the custom shop logo. That is a discontinued P220 Carry Two-Tone. You did okay anyway.

Now that we see the picture above yes it's not a SAS.

Here is what a SAS looks like (also note the Short Reach Trigger).

OP still got a nice P220 carry though.

why is the hammer back? point it in a safe direction and use the decocker to drop the hammer while keeping your fingers out of the trigger guard. please

Nice pistol OP....and yes, the decocker is there for a reason

The price was certainly right and the slide appears to have the same "semi SAS" treatment as my P220 Carry Equinox.

I was told the SAS treatment was performed an I agree, the slide looks like it. That being said, I'm not sure how Sig handles their custom work and whether or not they'd allow cuts on the slide only.

This is screaming for a TLR-1 or Enforce of some sort. Anyone have pics?

You did well, congrats...

I have the full size with a TLR-3.
