SIG P220ST?

[garand4life]

Has anyone here ever had or know anything about the SIG P220ST. A friend traded me one and I know nothing about the ST since there is minimal mention online and no information through the SIG website. It's a beautiful gun but it is overly heavy being an all steel frame and stainless steel slide plus the finish is just too nice to be a carry gun. I would rather find the value to sell it to by a 1911 or another M&P45 (this one without the manual safety). Any thoughts? Is it worth keeping strictly for it's out-of-production status? I saw one online at the Cabelas Gun Library selling for 1K but that seems crazy. I know this is a certified SIG preowned and is in extremely awesome condition so I figure it's probably worth more to someone other than me.

I'd buy that if I had any money. The limited edition Sigs are all going for over 1K unless they're beat up. So the value is there. You just need to find someone like me who would love to have it, and then find someone unlike me who has money.

I think it's beautiful but to me I would rather have a 220r or a 226/229 in 9mm that I would actually carry. I am considering trading it and my M&P9 (w/ thumb safety) for a new M&P9 and M&P45 both without safeties. But I doubt any shops around here would take that deal.

I have one that I keep as my bedside gun.

SIG is my second favorite pistol, and the P220 is one of the best .45's ever (right behind the 1911 {all praise be to John Moses Browning}). The ST is even stronger than the alloy frame, in fact, Gray Guns has converted several to 10x25mm. I would keep it, after all concealed-carry isn't everything, I don't know if you hunt or hike but an open carry gun has it's uses too, and with good ammo I wouldn't hesitate to pack a P220 out here in Montana.

You could check out SIGforum for more info on your weapon, and if you were to make the mistake (IMO) of getting rid of it, there are plenty of SIG-o-philes there who would snap it up.

Those are Nitron finished. Those are really hard to get. But this one I have is all on stainless...

I got a bit too hasty in selling guns last year. I did it because I wanted to turn guns I wasn't using into either cash or guns I could use. Still, looking back, I wish a few of the guns that I clinically decided I didn't need, were still in the safe. My advice? Sleep on it for a year unless you need the money or find a gun you really want and yet can't justify buying comes around. Then sell it. Otherwise, its better to say "Why do I own this"?, than "I wish I'd never sold it". Just my .02.

Speaking of the 220ST Nitron  I've got one of the original run of 88.  I'm actually looking to sell it.  It's got the full GGI RRCDP work up on it and will come with 4 mags and a couple of holsters.
