I cant figure this out.
The 220 is an older design. Also the 220 is a single stack.
thanks. Are those the only reasons? I was just wondering if they were not as good.
Those would be the only reasons I can think of. They are fine guns. The 220 was designed as a .45acp. The 226 was designed off of the 220 but as a 9mm double stack.

They are the original SIG "modern" pistol. The first were 9mm and had a heel mag release. They are the base that SIG used to become this "legendary" company. Prior to the 220 few people in the US heard of the company.
What is the price difference? I haven't priced any in a while.
thanks a lot
I dont remember ever seeing a 220 being sold for more than $450. Thats still hundreds cheaper than your average 226/229 price
I believe 220's are less desired than say 229's and 226's. Then again I don't really see any shops just giving away 220's so where are you looking?
Jay, were you looking at used 220's?

New P220's are more than $450.
450?
I have been looking for one. Cheapest I have found is 699 used.
Drop me a pm where the cheap ones are

Ok used makes sense. Even used though 450 is a deal for sure
You're right. I should of done my homework. I knew they made 9mms I just thought the .45 came first for some reason. It's definitely a far better gun in .45.Ask the Swiss military if their first P75's, aka P220, were 9x19 or .45ACP.
