This update concerns the P220 and a newer version based on the P220, called the P240. I have to mention that Sigarms was sold and turned over to a group of new owners a few years ago, which began all of this wave of changes during a short period of time. We have saw a similar trend with the newer ownership of Smith & Wesson, with it's development in new designs.
THE P220 EVOLUTION REVOLUTION . . . The SIG SAUER® P220 is the pistol that ushered in the DA/SA era and is widely (and rightfully) considered the most accurate out-of-the-box 45 available. With a reputation for accuracy, durability and reliability it is no wonder the P220 is so popular. But December 2005 is the dawning of a new era in the history of the P220. S
ince it's introduction the P220 was produced with a carbon steel 2-piece slide (like the P228 and P225). Not anymore. Today the P220 features a stainless steel slide with a Nitron® finish and gone is the carbon steel. Additionally, our team of industry leading engineers completed work on the DAKT trigger for the P220. You can now get this revolutionary double-action only trigger in the P220 in addition to the P226, P229 and P239 models. That's just part of the new P220 story. Right now, our engineers, in cooperation with their counterparts at our sister company J.P. Sauer & Sohn are doing the final work on a single-action only version of the P220. Imagine the reliability and accuracy of a P220 in a "cocked & locked" configuration. The final step in the rebirth of the P220 is a "commander" sized version featuring a 3.9" barrel and shorter slide. Yes, you read correctly. This new model (designated the P240) is currently under development in our top secret engineering lab and is expect
ed to debut at SHOT Show...but you heard it here first. The new stainless slide, a DAKT trigger, an SAO trigger and "commander" sized model are all evidence of the continued evolution of one of the greatest pistols ever made. To have them all at one time is nothing short of an evolution revolution. Viva La Revolution!
