My SIG P220 is my nightstand gun and one of the pistols I shoot the most accurately. Yes, the grip is large for my small/medium hands, and the double-action trigger reach is long, but I can still put my first shot in the black on a B-16 target at 10 yards.
I’m thinking about ordering the short trigger, and if anyone ever puts out low-profile grip pannels, I would certainly give them a try. It would at least be instructive on the merits of thin vs. fat grips. Still, the pistol gets the job done as is.
I did have a couple failures to feed during the first hundred rounds or so, but these were probably due to me not seating the eight-round magazines properly. Otherwise, the pistol has been completely reliable.
I consider the P220 a combat pistol, something you grab when you know trouble is coming. In that respect, I would cock it if I suspected danger—glass breaking in the middle of the night, for example. Even in single-action, a deliberate trigger pull is required to fire the weapon. I experimented (with the pistol unloaded, of course) and could not “accidentally†pull the trigger.
