I was thinkin real hard about getting a Sig P226 and still may. However, yesterday I picked up a Sig P220 for the first time and really like the ergos (albeit a heavy gun).



I dont own a .45 acp and was considering the Kimber Ultra Raptor in Stainless.



I currently have M&Pc and M&P 9 and LOVE the ergos on those weapons.





Tell me what I need to know when purchasing a Sig P226 or P220. I heard the new sig quality control makes the baby Jesus cry.





Also your experience with the P220.

Ergonomically, the 220 and 226 are very similar.  The 226 is a little lighter I think.  Both are great pistols and if we are talking older ones you aren't going to have an issue with QC.  

I would say in this case, you are considering which caliber to buy because of the similarities in the pistols.

I carry a Sig 220 every day. The only complaint that I have is the grip screws seem to rust. I go through a set a year. Other than great gun never a problem that I haven't caused.
Sig took care of it and then some.

New P220R carry elite dark.
Quality as good or better than my 15 year old P229.
All parts exceptionally well fitted.

Very happy with it!

I love mine, it is a Louisiana State Police trade-in.  Cost me $450 and came with 3 mags.

I just bought a P220 Elite Carry the other day. Its my first Sig. I put 100rds through it this afternoon and I am very impressed with it. Shot very well, didnt give me one problem....Very nice shooting for only a 3.9 barrel.

I have a P220 Elite and a P220 Elite Dark that I've bought new within about the last year or so. Both have functioned flawlessly.
