First , Welcome to our part of the world here at the Handgun Forum. Pull up a chair and stay awhile.

The Sig line of Handguns are one of, if not the most reliable, and accurate, out of the box firearm available on the market. Sig customer service is second to none

Th2 P220 model is top of the line in all respects, extremely accurate and comfortable to shoot

You will not regret the choice

avengeusa,
obviously I like the Sig's as I've chosen one for my carry-gun.

You might look at my post regarding the trigger - other than that, buy away !!

And welcome.

I have many friends among the members of I-SIG who own a P220. And I've yet to find one of them that isn't happy with the gun.
Going for a 220, you can't do much wrong IMO.

And welcome to the SIG-Clan.

I'm in the same boat. I ran across a used P220 in 98%+ condition in a gun shop last week and I can't stop thinking about it. Could anyone tell me what it might be worth? It's newer style, all blued (nitron?), only shows wear on slide-barrel contact (minor and expected). It looks like someone shot 2-4 boxes through it and traded off. I think I might be able to get it for right around the $500 mark.

Thanks in advance.

the first one i looked at was about 85-90%, and the guy wanted $575.00, i think it is too much, i know i could get a new one for 675+ tax, and i may go that route if i cannot find a better deal

with a little shopping around you can pick up a new P220 for around $550 + or -

Thanks for the #'s, guys. Looks like someone beat me to the used on I saw last week. I'll have to keep my eyes open. New for $550? That would be a done deal. Most ND gunshops I've been to aren't budging an inch on their high-end stuff (even used). Thanks for the tip.

Hi there Avengeusa, I forwarded your request to I-SIG as there are quite a number of P220 owners on there, so maybe someone wants to let go of his for a fair price or has info on a NIB.
I'll keep you posted.

Update! I was back in said gunshop today, returning a scope base and noticed the Sig I had been looking at was still there. Salesman said that someone had put it on hold and negotiated trade-in and such, and the deal fell through. I felt this must be fate(my wife argues this point), so I looked her over(the gun, not the wife), yep 98%+, with case, triggerlock, 2 mags. Took it home for $500(and tax), and shot it this afternoon. Real nice pistol!! Forgot ear plugs though, my ears are still ringing 5 hours later.

Avenge USA, aren't the stainless slide models worth quite a bit more? I thought those were the P220 Sport or something like that. I thought I read that they retailed for a few hundred more than the standard P220.

the 220St (stainless) is different than the sport model,

From their site:

The SIG Sauer 220 .45 SPORT model is built on a stainless
steel frame with a stainless steel slide. The SPORT pistol is
enhanced by a match grade heavy contoured barrel, a weighted frame extension,
adjustable sights and extended controls,

sorry best I could do for a pic on short notice

The Classic SIG Sauer P220 known for its “out-of-the-box” accuracy is now
also available in a stainless steel frame and slide for added heft and
balance. The magazine release is reversible for the left thumb to release the
magazine.

controlfreak-
SIG also produces the P220 with a black alloy frame and a nickel plated carbon steel slide. The "two tone". These guns are sometimes mistaken for having stainless steel slides.

The 220 has to be The Most Reliable Out-of-the-box 45acp pistol made. Hunt around and there was a recent test where they ran 10,000 rounds through a 220 in one session. Pretty interesting. If I can find a copy I'll post a link to it here.
