Took a nice long motorcycle ride today to my (not so) local gun shop. I currently have a P320 X-5 on special order there. However, in the case was a P220 SAO Elite in 10mm. I have always been a traditional DA/SA guy, but with the purchase of my first P320, and then with the purchases of my P226 RX SAO and SAO Legion I have really come to appreciate the SAO- and striker fired pistols, so much so that my P226 Legion DA/SA has lost some of its shine for me. I just don't shoot it as well as the other SAO P226's even with the trigger adjustment and lighter mainspring.
This P220 really has me intrigued. I don't have any caliber at the moment other than 9mm, but have owned a P220ST all stainless in .45 in the past, a pistol I shot very well but was disappointed with its reliability. Does anyone have any experience with this pistol? Is the SAO trigger in the same league with the SAO P226's I own? Would it be a decent trade if I consider trading in my DA/SA Legion, obviously depending on what they'll give me? Or even cancelling the X-5?
BTW.....it would be a plinking, range target pistol.
Thanks in advance.
