Question for the Sig guys and gals

[Blindside]

Usually when I hear talk about Sigs it's the 229 or the 226 I never seem to hear anything about the 2022. Is there a specific reason for this? Are they not on par with the rest of Sig line up?

My understanding is that they are very nice. I don't own one, but have shot a couple and they seemed very similar to my P229. If I understand correctly, the SP2022 was originally for a contract that either fell through, or they had a lot of surplus. They had a high price point when initially released, but got slashed to under $500 to clear inventory. They became well known as a good entry level priced Sig and Sig continued to manufacture them at that price point (costs had gone down to the point where that was feasible). There are some differences to them over other Sigs, like the way they break down, for one. This information came from another forum, so I'm not sure of the validity, but it sounds reasonable. I advise you to check one out at your LGS and rent one at a range to see what you think. If I recall correctly, I've seen them on sale around Black Friday / Christmas time under $450. I'm not a fan of polymer framed guns, or I'd probably have one myself.

Alternatively, around the same price point you can get a P226/P229 CPO (certified pre-owned) or police trade. Sig takes these in and refurbishes them to be close to new, then resells them with only a 1 year warranty. I paid $546 for my CPO P229, but have seen them as low as around ~$450. That's another option that gets you a metal framed gun for a reasonably low price, if you'd prefer to go that route. Just my , good luck

Take this with a grain of salt, as my only knowledge of the platform has come from reading posts on forums. I don't know that I've ever even handled one.

But as far as polymer framed DA/SA pistols go - they're supposed to be quite nice. AND economical.

I have a SP2022 and I love it. Did not want to drop big coin to get into the Sig world as I am primarily a Glock guy and prefer striker pistols. I am not big on DA/SA pistols as I don't like to ride cocked and locked and the DA trigger pull is LONG. That being said, I really enjoy shooting this pistol SA and have easily put 1000 rounds through it the past 6 months. I eve outfitted it with a threaded barrel and Sig suppressor height night sights (SP2022 takes the same sights as all other sigs).

I scored mine in the Tac Pack (holster and light/laser) from Rural King for like $425. For that deal, I could not pass it up. Glad I picked it up and I have really enjoyed this gun.

OK thanks for all the input.

I have the fde 2022. It's your entry level sig and is very nice. I wished they would put the SRT in them but the price would go up. I have the 2022, P6,M11 A1 , and the legion. They are all very nice.

Everyone that has them seems to like them. Most of the old Sig guys like metal guns, so they tend to stick with the Class P series.

My P6 is awating a holster so that I can begin to carry it. I love the grips on it.

Kinda where I am. Only poly gun I have is my Shield.

Sig Pro's are great. They are usually the 'gateway' Sig for new Sig owners though. You have been warned.

I've seen them with night sights, NIB, online for ~350 a few times. Killer deal. I'd pick one up if I wasn't always buying CZ's.

Hes not kidding one bit, this is how it all starts. You buy an entry and next thing you know you have over $3,000$ wrapped up in three others. Well worth the cash though.

I've had one...twice. Fantastic gun for the price. It would be a deal at $100-$150 more IMO. I regret getting rid of it...twice!

 

[ratames]

I have a 2022 and love it. I've heard it referred to as a polymer 226. The size and general shape are about the same but there are distinct differences. For the money, it is a fantastic gun!

I have both, a P226 is 9mm, and P229 is a .40. I was trained with a P226, but they called it something liked a M11 at the time, don't remember. Both shoot very well and accurate.

M11 was the P228.

Thats on my short list to keep an eye out for on BF specials. A FDE SP2022 9mm with night sights.

It is my understanding that the 2022 was developed for the French National police as their new service weapon. It would remain in service until 2022, hence the name. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIG_Sauer_Pro_series

 

[Farm1]

I've shot the 2022 and carry a p228 daily.. The 2022 is an economical entry into the world of sig.

 

[KANER88]

They are ok but in my opinion id rather try and find a p229 or 226 elite for $800-$1000 depending on what they come with. If you can afford it, they are worth it. But if im gonna have a 226 its gonna be a sao since im most likely not gonna carry it. A p200 series is world apart from the 2022 unless your just starting out which sounds like you are. No matter how u slice it, its s sig though
