I've got two P220's but they are the nitron models. the full size and carry but I've upgraded them with Sigs SRT kits and Grayguns flat adjustable triggers, Hogue G10 grips and trijicon hd night sights

 

I did the same thing minus the sights, when I get mor money saved up I’m turning it into an RX so I’ll need suppressor high sights. I also went with a 18 lb. hammer spring, night and day difference with these mods.

 

I own a P220 Combat Elite stock w/threaded bbl, in FDE. It is of ~2012 provenance, w/o SRT. I put in GG SRT.

Had I bought a Legion, I would probably feel like a buffoon (no offense), having gone for the razzle-dazzle shine vs purpose-built for defense combat. The P220 CE is a combat pistol w/marksmanship accuracy, and has never failed to fire.

 

I own the p220 nightmare, and I love it. I could t pass it up I love 45 acp. Usually I don't go for flashy but it was a really good deal. It's a great shooter and feels good in the hand. Though I did add finger groove grips to it. But I have large hands and these grips work well in my hands. I do have a 1911 compact, a p320, a p365, and a legion. P229. The only other I would consider is the p320 in 45 acp.

 

That is a good deal for that model, especially in this market. I don't care for the Elites because of the beavertail (as opposed to a standard grip tang). The SRT kit installed as standard is nice. I'd say go for it if you just want to a dd any P220 to the stable. If you like the added feature of the Elites or the Legions, that's all well and good, but I prefer just a base model or the Extreme series (SRT kit, night sights, and G10 grips standard). I have 2 P220's, a 1994 WG, and a 2014 P220 Extreme. Both are excellent general purpose pistols. I have over 20,000 rnds through the WG in 10 yrs.

 

I have an older Pawn Shop find P220 that I got for $500. and I love it. A grand is a little steep for my taste, but if I let a P220 Elite get into my hand, I would be going home with it and worrying about what I would say if my wife ever found out.

 

I own a P-220 Legion DA/SA in .45 ACP and in 10 mm, and a P229 Legion 9mm DA/SA .
The DA/SA action really works for me. The Legion finish and grips - like hand in glove. It is why I buy them.

I would buy an Elite without hesitation if I liked the Nitron finish, esp at the price quoted to you. I will point out the Elite is not exactly identical to the Legion as others have said here.

The Legion 220 DA/SA has the GrayGuns P-SAIT trigger, X-RAY3 Day/Night Sights, and comes with 3 magazines.

The Elite 220 has the SRT Short Reset Trigger, SIGLITE sights, and comes with 2 magazines.

Legion owners receive a free pistol case - sells for $60, not that I would buy it for that…
And the coin - which I don’t understand but plan to use for trick shooting practice when I am out in the nowhere someday!!

 

besides my two Sig P220's I've got a FN FNX-45 Tactical. 45acp which like the Sigs it DA/SA and besides it having a decocker it also has a safety

 

I have the 220 legion 10MM, DA/ SA - carried a lot of pistols on and off duty (retired LEO) with out a doubt the legion became my favorite pistol of all times - no issues, I truly like the DA first round, with the training I've had over the years, it provides me with, in my mind, a lot of control getting on target and gives me the sweet spot with the first round, I do like the SA after the first round, as I'm in firing position and obviously going to fire a few more rounds, but once target is done I immediately return to DA - (and yes my career started with wheel guns with the DI / Range Master screaming out his firing commands!!) so that sweet spot to discharge has definitely been tattooed in my brain!!!

 

We have a match elite 220 in 45 ACP and a 220 SAO in 10mm. Both shoot really well and no significant issues with either one. The 45 had a bit of a rough trigger and it turned out to be caused by a burr/rough spot on the trigger linkage. Once that was stoned off, the problem disappeared. They are both very accurate especially the 45. Here is an old target shot at 25 yards. They are quality pistols for the money.

 

I gotta tell ya the match elite is on my list .
They’re hard to find from my lgs . Nice grouping

Did you get your Elite yet?

 

Got mine . . .

 

I just purchased a new 220 for a little over a grand. Haven’t shot it but love the feel. We shall see - at the price point I don’t think anyone could go wrong.

 

Got this one P220 elite sse most recently. Before the prices got to crazy . I shoot the legion better . I may just the elite send to sig to do a trigger undercut .
Thanks

 

It's doubtful that is something Sig will do... While they will Bead Blast and NITRON a stainless steel frame, I doubt they would customize one. Just like they wouldn't mill an existing Slide for a red dot sight, they will manufacture a "lot" of production slides to accept their propriety red dot sight offering, to even including one.

 

Sounds to me like you should grab it!

 

The question is NOT "Should I buy it?" It's "Why shouldn't I buy it?"

 

I bought the elite 220 sig 2 years ago and love it! It is well made like other sig models and I expect it to last a lifetime. The price seems very reasonable. I dont recall what I paid for it but I’m thinking around $1100 ? One thing I have noticed recently (last few weeks) is that gun prices seem to have dropped significantly. I had been housebound with some ailments/injuries for a couple of years and was out of the market.

Now that I am back I am comparing prices and availability to a couple of years ago. I had been looking for an Sig 229 and they were not available or out of my budget range. Yeaterday I bought two mint used ones for a steal. Anyone else on the Forum Notice the price drop and availability. I live Northern Georgia.
