I had some questions a few months ago about this West German proofed 220 I picked up, the link below is very informative regarding German and West German 220's https://www.realgunreviews.com/is-my-made-in-germany-or-west-germany-sig-really-german/ |

C_Swimm: Do you know what welding process was used to affix the bushing to the slide? It looks like either capacitance discharge welding or possibly friction welding. The bead doesn't really look like a vibration/friction expulsion though.

Sorry I do not know. It was a few years ago, and I don't think I thought to ask at the time.
Of course this is just on the stamped steel slides. All the newer stainless slide versions are CNC machined from solid bar stock. |

I find the older p220 and p226 to be better balanced than the new ones . Not that the new ones are bad , but I prefer the look, and feel of the folded sheet mtl slide p220 and p226 .

Since the year 2000 SIG Sauer in Eckernförde has changed a lot, the rifle production went to Isny and with the loss of the export permit the staff was reduced from about 200 to 50 now.
I just received an official notice from the Eichdirektion Nord this week that the proofhouse in the basment of the factory will be closed in October 2017. It stated the the number of proofed guns is in no relation to the cost anymore. |

I have learned a lot about Sigs I purchased back in the 80's. Thanks.

I have 2 220's. One a 9mm made in 1976. I have not fired it because it is in mint condition. Imported by Hawes in Los Angeles. Really a neat import logo. The other one is a 38 super made in 1996 with the American mag release. I believe this was the last year for the 38 super in a 220. It surprises me to learn the number of gun people that do not know that 220's were made in calibers other than 45acp. Wish I had one in 7.65 mm but that is just wishful thinking.

Some pretty good info in the link in the OP.
I knew my Sigs were old and made in Germany but I guess I hadn't paid enough attention to notice that there was a difference between "Made in W Germany" and "Made in Germany". I just checked my Sigs and all say Made in W Germany. |

Anytime someone starts with "I support the 2nd and own guns myself but..." it is code for I mean the exact opposite and now I'm going to say something stupid and untrue.

The P220 seems to be not as popular as it once was. Sad. But it’s still a worthy battleship.
