SIG P220

[Maj Dad]

I just picked up a nice German P220 off Gunbroker, and the trigger is polished bright stainless or chrome. I am not a SIG expert by any means, but I don't recall seeing one like it before. I paid $600 shipped, and the only wear evident is on the barrel from being fired - the external finish is 98-99%, with only a couple of very light scratch-like markings on the slide. Manufacture date of the German eagle over N proofed frame is mid-1995; the German slide and barrel are not proofed, and the grips have the clock-like date marking for 11/91, suggesting it was made in Germany and assembled here. I am really pleased with it, but I was wondering if anyone can tell me about the bright trigger. I have become a SIG addict of late...
Thanks!

It's aftermarket. Either manufactured or custom refinished

SIG has never offered a stainless trigger and has never chromed triggers on factory pistols

I was pretty sure of that. I found a SIG forum & posted the question there & will share whatever I can find. But, boy, do I like this pistol!

The trigger is from TJ's Custom Guns (http://www.tjscustomgunworks.com/ ) and is an 8mm according to a Sigspert on the Sig forum. All I can say is that it's slicker'n snake snot and I'm about to go nuts to go shoot it this coming weekend...

TJ's that's the name of the guy.

He was infamous for charging customers to speak to them over the phone

Seems like they did have nickeled trigger, etc. NYPD trade ins, like this one, have a nickeled hammer, trigger, takedown lever, and decocker. This is my P226 as I got it. I changed it to DA/SA with a new factory nickel hammer (The original was nickel too) and factory nickel decocker lever. I have seen way too many NYPD trade ins with nickel controls for them not to have come that way.

I'll post the pics here for your comments - the pistol really looks to me like it has been refinished, but very professionally and with no obvious signs at all. Someone may have dropped a few coins on this one, but it sure looks nice.

Congrats, it looks like the Sig SRT and some one took a polishing wheel to it, excellent weapon and a good deal anyway, when my back is not hurting like now days a 220 is my EDC, hurting back is a Shield .45 LOL.

The Sig 220 is a tough.45!

I would agree, it's been refinished, and the trigger has been polished, if it was nickel, or the finish was polished off of it. Nice shooter, if nothing else.

I love the P220, and I am anxiously awaiting to see what the P220 Legion is going to be like. I have the P226 SAO Legion and absolutely love it, but a P220 Legion... Oh man!

Congrats on a great gun at a great price. Sheesh! $600 shipped is a great deal IMHO especially with some of the mods. She looks beautiful and rock solid considering her age. Very awesome, I'm jealous!
