I bash Sig a lot, especially when it comes to the shit stain it has become under Ron Cohen and how horrible their QC is. But the SP line is by far the best thing they ever came up with. It toom everything that was good about the P226/P228/P229 and ditched the shit.
SP2340 .40 S&W 
SP2009 9mm 
SPC2009 9mm 
What's not to like? Polymer frame, DA/SA hammer fired, and comes in 9mm, .40 S&W and .357 Sig. It is the same ergos and layout as a P229. But far easier to take apart and work on. The self contained fire control group is the bee's knees. Lighter in weight, more affordable, just as reliable, and honestly it is the last product of the "Old School Sig". It isn't the bullshit of the current Sig. No MCX, MPX, or P320 drama. It is just honest Sig goodness. I wish they did more with the design. But alas, we know they won't. They'll let it wither on the vine and eventually just end the line. When that happens, any trace of the Old Sig will be dead. Sure, they're still making the P226 and P229. But honestly, Indian made MIM parts and a $1,0000 price tag ain't right. |

I have a 2022 in 9mm I picked up on a whim a couple of years ago. I agree, it's a damn nice pistol and a very much underappreciated platform. In some ways I like if better than my 228. Ergonomics, the leverage for the slide release and hammer release are much better. Accuracy and trigger is at least as good as my 228. Field-stripping is maybe easier on the 228.
Also have a 320 Carry that I enjoy but that's a bit of apples versus oranges. |

OP is correct. The SIGpro P2022 is an overlooked and undervalued pistol.

They really are a great handgun. When I bring people to the range I usually have a G19 and a SP2022 to show striker fired vs DA/SA.
They are priced extremely well and on the used/surplus market are a steal. My SP2009 was a used Swiss police gun that I send back to Sig for refurbishment and new night sights put on. I keep a two lock boxes with SP2009 and a SP2022 at either end of the house. |

My first handgun purchase was a SP2022 in .40. It did have some break-in issues and had to go back to the factory. It has been GTG since. I converted it to .357SIG and still carry it occasionally.
I do disagree with it being easier to disassemble and re-assemble than the P22X series. It can sometimes be a pain to keep the recoil spring compressed while lining up the slide release and barrel loop during reassembly. I much prefer the takedown lever on my P229. |

The sp series is a great value.
B&T is also making a side folding stock for it that uses the replaceable grip panel. First new part for the sig in years. |

Love my SP2022. Crazy good buy and (so far) reliable and accurate.
ETA: Wish I could find holsters for it. Anyone know of a Safariland ALS that will work with the gun with an X300? Le sigh... |

I really enjoyed my SP2340 and have both .40 and .357 barrels for it. I don’t use it much anymore. The night sights need to be replaced and the texture is mostly gone from one side of the grip.
I like the P220 and P226 better. I have not decided whether I like the P320 yet. |

Polymer frame. That's what's not to like. I'll stick with the old 220s and 226s.
Edit: And as stated above, the 210 is the best pistol Sig ever made. ETA2: Aren't you partial to metal framed S&W autos? |

Best value, given they were often under $400... I agree with.
Best pistol, nah. I like my nice p226's more, as well as my nice p320's. But they cost more. |

Self contained fire control group and obvious P320 lines to demonstrate the heritage. I stand by my statement.
The p320 is nothing but an evolution of concepts Sig worked in to this pistol. It is the pre beta version of the p320. |

My SP2022 stays in my nightstand. Damn good gun and I think I gave $325 for it several years ago.
I bought it probably a month before Sandy Hook and all that craziness went down. I like my full size P320 better but the SP2022 is no slouch. |
