You're probably the only person in america that likes that trigger, but to each their own. It's too bad it
couldn't have been like the HK LEM but chances are they would have had to violate a patent or something in order to
do it.
bottom left is Legion? Looks happy to see you.

I had a P220, and had two problems. 1. the trigger pinched my index finger when I pulled it. I solved that by putting in a flat trigger.
2. I could never shoot it as accurately as I shoot the 1911
I never figured out why I couldn't shoot it well, and eventually traded it for another 1911.
It's a great pistol, I was just not able to take advantage of it. I didn't have enough range time to spend to learn to shoot
it accurately. I figured if the 1911 was just working for me, I'd go with it.
So to add to this, if you wanted to get a 10MM, and were torn between either a:
1. P220 Legion 10mm DA/SA, because I love my P226 legion
or a
2. Springfield Armory TRP 10mm (6" slide), which I would of course name Mjölnir!
Which one would you choose and why? I kinda feel that for a SAO, there is no match to the 1911 system, so i might as well only consider the P220 DA/SA. It would be mostly a range / camping gun. Also, are there any aftermarket p220 extended mags that reach 10 rounds?

No aftermarket 220 mags I'm aware of in .45 or 10mm (maybe a pro mag or some other junk exists that I discounted)..
You are stuck w/ 8 rounds in the 10mm and 10 in the .45, max. Which is stupid since 10mm is like 12% smaller in diameter or something like that.
This is kinda a general Sig downfall - aftermarket adoption is very low and you are always stuck with mostly expensive proprietary stuff when it comes to Sig. Even something ironed out like an AR, I think magpul has special disclaimers about fitment w/ some Sigs.
I like DA/SA w/ a decocker, naturally safe without anything to get confused about under pressure.
I don’t know why I didn’t catch this last night, but there are original Sig 10-round mags. Hard to find, but they are out there. I don’t know if they’re available in 10mm though. My Glock 40 has 10 round mags.

They are not hard to find but like I was saying they are only in .45 - the 10mm version is max of 8.
Also are kinda dumb, unlike other Sigs they didn't even bother to make them match the grip. But at least they offer them in .45.
Normally a Glock 20 or 40 holds 15.
You are right Dennis, that nickeled 220 is a great gun, I’ve never had an issue with it. I don’t know if you did trigger work to it, but it’s got a sweet trigger.I had my folded, nickeled, 220, .45acp for 30 years. Like yours, with 7 or 8 round magazines and no matter the ammo, It never malfunctioned . Not even one time.
The single action on that Sig 220 is super smooth. I'm glad you are enjojing it.You are right Dennis, that nickeled 220 is a great gun, I’ve never had an issue with it. I don’t know if you did trigger work to it, but it’s got a sweet trigger.

Saw one on armslist today, nh, new in boxSo jealous of that P227.
Thanks for the heads up but I haven't found a FFL in MA (yet) that would do the transfer because it is not an item on Hitler's list.Saw one on armslist today, nh, new in box
Sucks - honestly though in MA I don't know what you get from a 10 round 227. The 220 has a more reliable (theoretically) single stack and narrower grip... now if you have the larger mags, different story.Thanks for the heads up but I haven't found a FFL in MA (yet) that would do the transfer because it is not an item on Hitler's list.
I guess the real answer is my safe has "space". If I ever come across one, it would probably just be added to the collection since it is too big/heavy to lug around.Sucks - honestly though in MA I don't know what you get from a 10 round 227.
