I corralled my P220 Elite: Mission Accomplished

A hearty thanks to all of you who shared your wisdom with me yesterday! Fortunately my P220 Elite was still waiting for me at my gun shop this morning, along with last additional live recommendations from my two most trusted gunsmiths, both of whom have the Elite in their carry rotations. What a first .45 in my experience! After the purchase I shot my first 50 rounds with fist-sized groups into center mass circle and forehead on the silhouette target at 3,5,7, and 10 yds. Performed so much like my MK25: SRT trigger was great on a few controlled pairs (not quite double-taps), and recoil seemed very well absorbed and minimal.

I will most likely replace those standard E2 grips with Hogue G10s, as I did on the MK25 (see the pics), but I’ll run the E2s for a while.

Again THANKS to all of you who yesterday contributed to confirming my final decision. I hope I can be as helpful to other shooters on SigTalk.

Thanks! My brother carries the 10mm up near his place in Libby, Montana when he is guiding fly fishermen or elk hunters. Calls it his "backup bear protection."

In my opinion the Elite and Enhanced Elite series of classic Sigs are as good or better than the Legion series. I have both a 227 and 229, awesome firearms.

Congratulations. While not a Legion, or Elite... I was mulling this one over, as the price is right... but I already have one, so if anyone else is interested, might be a worthwhile look. Not for someone with OCD, but a great price for a P220 Carry. and with the finger grooved Hogue rubber grips, the front strap is likely intact!

Yikes. That P220 looks like it’s been around the block but for $600 ish it’s definitely affordable. Being the a carry version makes it interesting.

Thanks! Sounds good.
Congrats on the purchase. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed mine. I love both my Elite and my Carry. I think they are among the finest Out of the box .45acp production pistols I have ever owned.

Thanks! I liked one 1911 I tried, but
I loved the P220. So glad to find my Elite. Shooting it seems so natural and effortless, just like my MK25. They may be the best 9mm and .45 acp “matched companions” in pistol history.
