SIG Sauer P220

Glad to hear you finally got it! And no, I didn't get tired of the questions. Be sure to tell us how it shoots, too. Does it fit your hand pretty well?

As for the date code, I'm surprised. It isn't uncommon to find older SIGs that are stamped "Made in W. Germany" even though their date code indicates they were built later; it just means that the slide was lying around for a while before someone used it on a production gun. But 1995? Seems kinda weird for the slide to have been sitting in storage for 6+ years.

The gun fits my hand great. Before I bought the 4505, I handled a 220 at the gun shop and liked the grip better than the 4505.

As for the date code. It seems unlikely that they would have a six year stock pile of slides. I haven't looked at SIGs long enough to see if they are earlier ones than mine that are marked Germany only. Maybe they kept the W. on the 220 stampings longer than the 226? But that seems really unlikely too.

Nice gun. I almost bought a P220, but I made the mistake of buying that accursed High Standard
