[Steve F]

Picked up my 1997 Sig 220 .45 last night after the 10 day wait What a fantastic firearm,all German,stamped slide,box,manual,2 factory mags and 2 Pachmayr mags.The Gentleman I got it from"thinks" he fired it and he bought it new,it only has 1 smile on the barrel.It's Pristine!

What do you think of the Pachmayr mags?They look to be very well made and have stainless followers.

Hello-

I can't address the Pachmayr magazines, but the West German SIG-
SAUER P220 ought too be a fantastic firearm~! I know that I really
do like mine, and carried it daily in my offical capacity since 1988. I
don't think there is a better DA/SA firearm on the market. And to,
the original P220's (and Browning BDA's) will soon be a thing of the
past, as all the new SIG's have light rails~!

I also have a german P220. I don't know exactly how old it is, but it works flawlessly, except with worn out or non Sig factory magazines. A weak recoil spring also caused malfunctions when I bought it. (Its always a good idea to get a new recoil spring with a used gun.) As for Pachmayr magazines, I've never used them. If they don't jam up on you, they must be good.

I am a lousy pistol shot, but when I tried a well-worn p220 at a range I could keep them all on the target at 25 yards (which for me is saying something). I shot a box of hardball, and by the end of the box I could hit pretty well with it. It is very easy to be accurate with that gun.
Be proud. You chose an excellent firearm.

I only have one Pachmayr magazine, it's old, but it still works fine. As for the P220, excellent choice. I love mine and I consider it to be one of the finer .45's out there.

Thank you all for your input I'm just going to have to get out to the range and take it for a test drive(as well as the P239 and P230SL)

You love it - the P220 is my favorite Sig.

230 grainers love it!

I just trade my way into a 220 several weeks ago. What a great pistol. Yesterday I had it out to the range. I'll post a report in a new thread--but it showed me enough to know you've got a good gun.
