| Dont know anything about them, have heard they are excellent. Im in the market for my first .45 and am wondering if the 220 is what I should get, also considering a glock 21. Thoughts? My limit is around $500. |

I have a P220 and have had no problems with it. It's very accurate and easy to take care of. I bought mine from a individual at a gun show for $450 LNIB. You should be able to find a nice used one for $500-550, I see them all the time at gun shows. They sell new for around $750 here. |

Definately check out a P220 at the fun store, or better yet the range. I wanted a used one so bad I couldn't stand it, until I picked one up at the store, and found that there was no way I could get enough of my hand around it to be comfortable or practical. Damn crappy genetics! That said, if it fits you, it's a hell of a weapon... |
| The Glock 21 is uber reliable, shoots soft and has 13 round mags but its honking grip could be a deal breaker. You never hear any one that is really sad about buying any Sig. The 220 is a piece of precision equipment so you just need to find out what fits best and find a deal. |

I have them all and have been carrying for over 30 years. My carry gun is a beaten up blue .45 457 S&W in a Bianchi #5 black widow. I have 35 handguns, j , k, l, n, frames, 1911's Sig P220 etc. and yet I carry one of the cheapest $515 new. The 457 DOA is a very reliabile accurate handgun 1000's of rounds out of it never a falter. It's smaller than most .45's. I carry it because of that and it is the most comfortable gun I've carried in that high riding Bianchi. It's so cheap I don't care if it gets all beaten up and you can get a used one for less than $400. As Forest Gump said, and that's all I have to say about that. |
I am beginning to feel that way as well.............I am thinking of trading my Glock for a SIG
