What is the Sig Sauer P220 Elite?
The Sig Sauer P220 Elite is a full-size, double-action/single-action pistol available in both .45 ACP and 10mm Auto. It features a stainless steel slide, alloy frame, and eight-round magazine capacity. Designed for defensive and duty use, it is available through multiple retailers.
Is a Sig Sauer P220 a good gun?
Whether it's good depends on your priorities. Reviewers consistently praise its reliability and accuracy, though the eight-round capacity feels dated by modern standards. It's a proven, heavy-hitting .45 ACP pistol well-suited for defense and duty work. Currently in production and widely available.
What's the best ammo for a Sig P220 10mm?
For defensive use, Speer Gold Dot 200gr JHP or Federal HST 200gr JHP are reliable choices. Sig V-Crown 180gr JHP also performs well. For range training, Sig Elite or Remington UMC 180gr FMJ are cost-effective. Match your selection to your intended purpose.
Does SIG Sauer still make P220?
Yes, SIG Sauer still makes the P220, but most variants have been discontinued. SIG is retaining the P220 DA/SA Legion in 10mm and adding a P220 Legion SAO in 10mm. The 9mm and .45 ACP variants are no longer current offerings. Retail prices on our marketplace range from $999 to $1,229.
Where is the Sig P220 made?
SIG Sauer partnered with West Germany-based Sauer & Sohn in the early 1970s. The P220 launched in 1975 and was manufactured at Sauer & Sohn's facility in Eckernförde. The shift to SIG Sauer's Exeter, New Hampshire facility was gradual, with German-assembled guns continuing into the mid-1990s and hybrid German-component/Exeter-assembled pistols appearing around 2001.
