Sig P220 is made of metal.
I wouldn't buy a new Sig, though. Heard to many horror stories about modern Sig QC. |

Steel frame limits the selection, for a good reason...
This is my Megastar, note the nearly 3 pound empty weight!

All stainless Sig P220. There are always several on Gunbroker. This would be my preference. I love P220's.
CZ97 is also an excellent choice. |

Sig 220.
Hence why after I got my I promptly sold my SS Springfield 1911A1. The Sig is lighter, handles better, is more accurate and has better ergo's and features, one being the DA/SA trigger with decocker (at least on the model I have). |

FN-FNP in 45 has been the best polymer pistol I have found thus far. I prefer my 1911 though even if it only holds 7 or 8 rounds at a time.
reading comprehension was not my strong suite on the ASVAB. That said, Sig P220 |
