Planning on getting anything extra for it?

I might pick up a .357 sig barrel for it but I haven't decided yet. Other than that nothing else as of yet, besides a holster or two and more spare mags.

Just the top heavy crappy models. I also sort of like the P230

Saw a beautiful condition P220 at Cabela's today.
If I had 900 bucks... C:

Dude, that's way too damn much for a pistol unless it's a custom job

Nope, just in perfect condition.

There were also a ton of beautiful Mosins, all for about 120, including a model 42(the short one? think it's called 42).

My favorite, a Norinco SKS. Too many cool guns to count.

All of the SIGs with CNC-milled slides have the "top heavy" feel. I don't mind it too much, but I do like stamped slides better. So do most hardcore SIG fans.

That being said, the P229 is by far the best of SIG's milled-slide pistols.

I guess im in the minority here where i dont consider SIGs unbalanced. They feel nice in hand. I love the feel of a metal gun too.

Have you ever shot one of the older-model P220s, P226s, or P228s? If you've never shot a stamped-slide SIG, you probably won't appreciate the difference, but if you've shot both types, you'll probably find that you prefer the older models. That's why used P228s are currently in such high demand right now - and why SIG decided to put out the P228R.
