I was considering adding a P250, I do not know how I feel about the DAO...

What other Sigs are out there???

The P250 does NOT have a long HEAVY trigger pull. It's light and smooth, albeit long.

In my opinion, you have been pumped full of sunshine. The P320 is NOT a single action firearm.
Your opinion on single stack magazines comes from reading, not carrying one.

Appreciation of the classic P series pistols is something like an acquired taste. The more you learn about them the more you grow to appreciate them.

What is your planned use? Target, CCW, home defense, collecting, all valid pursuits but may require different hardware.

This will be an interesting discussion.

I know the P320 is Striker Fire. But it acts as a Single Action because when you dryfire you must manually rake the slide cock the striker mechanism, No?

I owned one Single Stack 7-round .40S&W firearm and sold it because... Why opt for less capacity?

I own a couple of P220 in Carry and Full, a few P226s in various calibers, a P277 in Carry and Full, several P229s in various calibers, and a few P320s in various configurations and calibers... I also own 5 or 6 Matrix Precision builds. No P365, they feel too small. If I am going XL or Macro, I may as well go P320 3.6" Compact.

I was thinking something new, something different. I have seen a P250 with an XCarry Grip and it looked nice, add an adjustable trigger and you have a nice firearm.

I have held the P238 and the P239. I have seen the SP2022, But I have never shot one. It's like a polymer P229.

Planned use is mainly Range/Target practice, some like the P227 for Home-Defense, but I have bullpup shotguns, and Collecting a little, I am not going to go this is a 1995 limited edition. Once I feel more confident in my skills and knowledge of the law, I will carry every day. Sometimes I do carry a P220 Carry or a P320 Carry in 357 SIG.

That’s a really broad question. In the current lineup, the models that don’t exist at all are the P220 Compacts (including P245), P225, P227, P228, P239 (including P225-A1), P230 (including P232), and P250. Aside from the P227 (cancelled due to slow sales), P228 (succeeded by the P229), and P250 (succeeded by the P320), all of the models listed above are single-stack designs, which more or less explains their absence in the modern day. Also, I never know if the SP2022 is out of production or not. Assuming you’re satisfied by the current lineup, here’s the old stuff I’d say is maybe worth owning:

SIG Pro
(SP2340, SP2009, SP2022)

P225
(Best grip angle ever on a classic P-Series)

P227
(Double-stack .45)

I’d also add to that any steel frame version of a regular (non-X) P-Series. However, you may have different tastes, so here is what the rest offer:

P220c/P245
(If you like compact .45s)

P230/P232
(If you like .380)

P239
(Multi-caliber single-stack carry)

I personally don’t like .45 compacts that much and while I appreciate the design and craftsmanship of the P230 and P232, I don’t like .380 and I don’t really see any practical need. The P239 and P225-A1, while excellent, are still too heavy and impractical for their intended role, in my opinion.

When you start discussing discontinued models, unless you understand you may not find parts you desire, including minor components required to function, like the "Snapper Sleeves" for the SIGPRO models, walk away.

Just like these "Master Shop" sigs being offered, it's a lot of money for something that was never made here and used hand fitted parts...

I've carried / owned nearly every Sig variants/ caliber throughout the years. 220 euro and American. 9mm, 45 acp. 226 and 229 and 239 in 40, 357 sig and 9mm. Even the 938 and 238 models. 365, and 320 are the only plastic versions I've owned. I've even owned a Sig 556 rifle. The old style not the ar variant.
For some reason I've never owned a P228 and wish I had one. I have the P229 classic carry which uses the 228 mags but it's not the same because it has the stainless slide not the old style German slide.
T'anks.

As others have mentioned the P250 is the predecessor to the P320. I personally wouldn't recommend the P250 because of the DAO.

Others have also mentioned the legacy "P" series guns. Below are a couple of pictures of my P229 Elite, which I bought right after Sig stopped making the P228. The Sig P series guns I believe are some of the best guns any gun maker has ever made. It is an all metal gun with G10 grip panels. I own five P320s that I love and shoot all the time, but the craftsmanship of the P229 is far superior to any polymer gun.
