So just acquired a Sig SP2022 in 9mm. Today was my first range trip. Holy smokes all I can say is this gun rocks.
I put 100 rounds of brass FMJ, then went ahead and pushed 300 rounds of steel cased Monarch and TulAmmo 115gr FMJ. Then i did the experiment of going back from steel to brass, and no issues whatsoever. Granted the gun is very new, but it seems to eat ammo like a beast.
In terms of "shootability", this gun is easy as it gets. With my anatomy, I find my sig P226, 229 and this SP2022 to point naturally for me. At 15 yards I was easily placing 4-6" groups and I am no James Bond with a handgun. Recoil on this gun is on par with my Glock 19 which is to say rather light recoiling. The only downside I could find with this SP2022 is that those of us in MA won't be able to find "pre-ban" 15rd mags. No doubt that does suck, but I cannot fault the gun for our retarded laws.
My woman shot it as well and she was observing failures of the slide to lock open, but this was caused by her thumbs contacting the slide lock. For me it was a non-issue. The trigger feels pretty good to me. Perhaps it breaks a little far back which could be an issue if wearing a glove but with bare hands no problem.
So I started this thread because I'm just kinda shocked by how awesome this gun is and how little discussion it gets. If you've never shot an SP2022, I suggest giving it a spin. Seems people drool over the P22x series which is understandable but man this little SP2022 needs some more love! Do you people have experience with the SP2022? Am I just a weirdo who happens to like weird guns?
what say you about the SP2022? (yes that rhymed which makes me just a little queer)
