First, before we cover exactly what features make this a "Legion" pistol, let's look at the specs of this particular
P220.
The
P220 Hunter has an adjustable rear sight and SIG's TFO (tritium fiber optic) front sight.
The
P220 operates by a locked-breech, short-recoil action harking back to John M.
Slightly smaller and lighter than the
P220, it carries one less round in the magazine (eight instead of nine).
The
P220, made by the US-based Sigarms company, is the "weapon of choice" of elite units worldwide.
Lopez said he still has to look at the reports to see if, indeed, prices have gone up because during the latest National Price Coordinating Council meeting, cement prices hovered around
P220 to P225 only depending on areas.
The regular price of pork meat in the market ranges from
P220 to P230 per kilo.
It is said you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but thanks to SIG SAUER's Model
P220 10mm Hunter, I have learned a valuable new "trick " with no pain and much gain.
The SIG
P220 pistol was also available in this caliber and can be found from time to time at auctions.
I've carried a SIG SAUER
P220 as my primary sidearm in uniform duty, SWAT, plainclothes and off-duty since 1992, because I felt the SIG .45 was the most reliable replacement available for the stalwart S&W Model 28, which I had to relinquish when my department mandated a switch to semiauto pistols.
The Sig Pro is one of them, although its decocking-lever spring is part of its fire-control unit and not separate as it is in the
P220 and P229.
