The Sig P220, a seminal model introduced in the late 1970s, is hailed as the progenitor of Sig Sauer’s modern pistol lineup. The P220, initially released in .45 ACP, quickly gained recognition for its exceptional accuracy and reliability, earning a reputation as one of the most accurate .45 caliber pistols right out of the box. Designed to meet stringent military standards, the P220 combines classic craftsmanship with contemporary features, making it a durable choice for both carry and full-size applications. It boasts a stainless steel slide machined from barstock, finished with a tough Nitron coating for enhanced wear resistance, and a lightweight alloy frame with an integral accessory rail. The P220 also incorporates the SIG SAUER four-point safety system, including a decocking lever, automatic firing pin safety block, safety intercept notch, and trigger bar disconnector. The P220 Legion represents a modern evolution of this iconic model, finished in a proprietary Legion gray coating and equipped with custom G-10 grips featuring a Legion medallion. The Legion variant enhances the original design with Sig Sauer Electro-Optics X-RAY high visibility day/night sights and front cocking serrations, which offer improved handling for cycling the action, performing press checks, and clearing the firearm. New for 2024, the P220 is now optics-ready straight out of the box, reflecting Sig Sauer’s commitment to integrating advanced features into its storied designs.
