    Very nice. I just "found" SIG after they changed the grips to the new E2 style. Bought 2 so far. Truthfully the mags an almost every pistol are overpriced.
    Every one I've held in gun stores in the past had the plastic grips which were really oval and too thin on the back, so I thought they were all. That way until I found one with the wood grips. I wasn't even going to ask to see it, but there were no other customers and I already saw everything else I wanted to fondle. I'm glad I asked.

    You could always buy cheaper ProMags for your Sig, but they have mixed reviews. I will pay the money for a magazine that is a little "overbuilt" and with better quality control, and without mixed reviews. If Kahr charged $40 for a "premium" replacement magazine, I think many of us would buy them right now.

      Very nice pistol. Did you get the carry model with the 3.9 inch barrel or the 4.4 inch barrel full sized one? I can't really tell from your picture. Oh, and don't forget a range report.
      I've lost my memory, and I can't remember where I put it.

        I don't have a CCW yet, but that is what the CW9 will be for. This Sig will be my nightstand gun after the first range visit. I might mount a light on it too.

          That is a beautiful pistol, LorenzoB!

          My P220, bought nearly 20 years ago (made in Germany), has been 100% reliable. But it is a very traditional looking firearm; not nearly as attractive as yours. I'm envious.

            Mine are flawless too.
            Barth, I really like that two-tone.

              P.S. I posted two more photos and a better resolution photo.

                It is, after all, the weapon used by Raylon Givens to kill Tommy Bucks in "Justified". What else needs to be said?

                  That it was! Best show on TV these days. Can hardly wait for season 4 to start next month.

                  I was really disappointed they moved him to a Glock (nothing against Glock), but the Sig in s1e1 was a nice touch. Still not quite sure if it's a 220, 226 or some kind of pseudo-movie-Sig, but I definitely think it's a Sig. I keep watching that scene trying to figure it out.

                    Me too.
                    She's a 1998 factory nickel plated two tone with a old school folded slide.
                    Controls are factory nickel plated too.
                    I added an OEM German Stainless Steel barrel from a P220 Sport gun for style points.

                      Very sweet Equinox LorenzoB. Having just got into the .45acp arena in the last 3 weeks myself, I really believe your love affair is just beginning. Enjoy!

                        Season 1 episode one, just before Raylon shoots Boyd Crowder in Eva's dining room, Boyd asks what weapon he used to kill Tommy Bucks. Raylon says Sig P220... "It was holstered".
