Alright /k/ so, new sigfag here. I've been looking at getting a sig handgun, in the 220 series without a rail. But I'm not exactly an expert in Sigs and google is giving me fuckall answers be. I know one option is discontinued as fuck, but I'm not certain on the first.

So, what I'm looking for is one of two things:
A full size, single stack .40 caliber (225?)
Or a 220 in .38 super

Inb4: I don't care if they're memes, I love the ergos and performance. Shoot what's comfortable for you, not what others tell you to and all that shit
>>
>>34392675
Op again, should be clear what I'm looking for is any info at all on the 220 series, with a focus on the two examples above
>>
>>34392675
>I've been looking at getting a sig handgun, in the 220 series without a rail.

Why?

The old German guns were made on inferior equipment. The factory honestly looked like they made bumpers for Soviet cars. The newer guns are vastly superior, regardless of the soul grapes posts you get on k.

I have a 9mm P220 that I bought because I like shooting my P220r so much but didn't want the .45acp expense. The newer guns is MUCH better in every way. .38 super P220s are super fucking rare. I've only ever seen one, ever. You may be able to find a .40 Browning BDA but I don't know if I've seen one of those either.

Just make sure whatever you get comes with an American mag release because heel releases are for lesbian communists.

They never made (to my knowledge) a P225 in .40.

I would find a P6 or W. German P225 for what you're looking for.
>>
>>34392786
I would definitely prefer the newer production pieces of course, I don't necessarily mean a P220 specifically, from what I can tell a .225A1 in .40 would be do-able.

And thats what I figured with the .38, worth a shot though.

P.s. Thanks for the info on the older guns, seems like no one wants to say anything helpful, all the reviews seem to be fanboi as fuck

I'm probably selling all the P220s and P226 for legions just for the beaver tail and the ability to keep my threaded Jarvis barrels. I'll probably pick up some more X-5s and a P210 too. The cost of .45 doesn't bother me anymore since I make a shitload now.

There are surprisingly few options for a single stack .40 S&W or .38 Super pistol made by Sig. You can, of course, get a Sig 1911 in either caliber, but as far as P-series go, I'm not aware of anything else in .38 Super, unless you wanted to convert a .45 caliber P220, which is probably possible with a conversion barrel. Probably THE quintessential single stack Sig in .40 caliber would be the P239, and they are very nice shooting guns in that caliber (I've owned two), but not really a full size handgun. I can get my full hand on the grip, but that will vary if you have XXL size hands. The P225A1 could give you a bit longer grip, but I don't believe these have ever been offered in .40 caliber. At least, there is no .40 caliber variant listed on Sig's website as of right now.

As someone said, Sig currently makes a P220 in 10mm, although I don't know of any companies making conversion barrels to shoot .40 caliber out of this gun. It's a reasonably common model if you're patient, but if you want one quickly, they are scarce (they're produced in batches, so for 1-2 months at a time, they can seem scarce, until production floods the market for the following month or two). However, they are very pricey. The cheapest I saw online was $1100 for new, although they are starting to show up on the used market now for a bit under that.

>>34392786
Having owned about a dozen Sigs, I just don't agree. West German Sigs were consistently high quality, whereas Exeter has produced a ton of lemons. The only thing Exeter does better is having a slightly more refined trigger out of the box. The older Sigs stood up to wear better and broke less. There are lots of new Exeter designed parts known for premature failure, whereas it's rare to hear about an older Sig breaking anything more substantial than a spring.

>>34394487
>Having owned about a dozen Sigs, I just don't agree.

There is no argument here. By SIGs own admission the US made guns are made on more capable equipment at a rate that was never possible in the EU factories. Their failure rates have gone down but that doesn't fit the trendy "it has to be west German or it's garbage" narrative.

If you prefer the older guns, that's fine. Just don't try to justify that with some sort of inherant quality that simple doesn't exist.

OP...I really don't know what the fuck you want because of the wording of your post and a bunch of other shit but the best Sigs are the P226 and P229. The P229 is a more compact version of the P226 but was designed in mind to house .40 S&W.

I own a German stamped P226 and an '05 P226R that is considered one of the best 226's quality control wise by some more serious and high volume shooters. What I don't like about the stamped Sigs are that certain crucial parts on it are no longer made and they have a shorter lifespan than newer made Sigs.

I bought it from this website listed as 'fair' and while it had some dings and scratches around the gun, the rails and internals otherwise were immaculate. It only cost me $500 too.

Would strongly recommend getting a DA/SA 9mm P226 or P229, an assload of ammo, a few spare magazines for it, possibly upgrade the sights to something like Dawson fiber optics and shoot it until the wheels fall off.

.40 isn't something I poo poo as much anymore but do not be fooled into thinking using a .40 or .45 will make any sort of noticeable jump in your shooting performance. .40 is great for shooting critters with but that's another discussion.

Your assessment is incorrect given what we know about new SIGs. It's fudd lore.

Euro SIGs were assembled using the same technique that old keltecs used. Parts are machined close enough then hand fitted. New US SIGs are finish machined and QA'ed by computers. All parts are 100% interchangeable.

Op here,
Yeah I screwed the pooch wording that but you still answered my question. I was trying to figure out if sig made such a creature.

As for expecting a jump in performance, I'm no fool, I am just used to shooting 40's, I could settle for a nine but I simply prefer the recoil of a forty, same with .38 super.

Anyway, thanks for the help, I guess it looks like I'll have to keep digging, I'm in no hurry

If computerized mass production with less human involvement automatically makes for better guns, then I guess Taurus trumps prewar Colt, huh.

Do you even realize how retarded what you're claiming is? Fucking idiot. If you actually had experience with both West German Sigs and Exeter Sigs, I guarantee you wouldn't say such stupid bullshit.

>>34398320
The idea that hand-fitting parts is low tech and automatically makes the entire gun low quality is reductively childish and counterfactual. Having a barrel from one gun be swappable with a barrel from another gun is not a demonstration of quality of either gun. I already gave specific examples in my earlier post of how Exeter Sigs fail to meet the same standards that West German Sigs set, but it seems you are only able to see the subject in one dimension. When this was pointed out to you, all you could reply with was "hurr, thats dumb, ur dumb." I don't think here's any point in me continuing to waste my time arguing with a person like you. Enjoy having to lube your gun with heavy grease to keep it from beating itself to death prematurely.

I'm the one who understands that not every handful gun is a python.

I also understand that the point of mass production is to make things more uniform to make assembly easier and QA faster.

Old sigfag here.

It sounds like a P239 in .40 is what you are looking for.

Single stack.
No rail.

Is it full sized? Not quite, but now you have something you can carry and it will shoot as well as a larger .40 cal. The P225 is mechanically the same gun as the P239 but it only comes in 9mm.

Also, the 40 P239 can usually be found at a discount compared to the 9mm these days, and can also use a 357 sig barrel.

Not at all. Glock triggers are shit. I'm being sarcastic. I'm pretty sure the SRT P226 trigger is one of the best DA/SA triggers you can get, at least in terms of the SA. Extremely crisp, pronounced wall, tiny reset. Better than HK IMO as well and I've shot a MK23 and a USP9 compact (both belong to a friend).

I just want a Glock for the aftermarket and because I've never had one. I always hated them growing up, but now I want one. You the guy in Aurora? I'm open to trades+cash if you've got a Gen 3 G17 or a G17 MOS.

Would also consider a 19 I guess.

I'm the anon you replied to, fair enough. I can't really fault you if you legitimately prefer .40 over 9mm, you have your reasons.

I thought I linked this in my post the other day, plenty of good deals on .40 Sigs
