The era when SIG Sauer produced some of the finest pistols in the world. The West German SIG Sauer Pistols are now the ghost of days gone by. The American Made Classic P Series are just not the same in my opinion. The superior fit, feel, and function of the vintage SIG Sauer is undeniable.

Carried that one on duty for several years. Can't recall ever having a malfunction. Three sets of night sights later, and it's still punching holes in paper.

I have sold off at least 2 dozen vintage Colt 1911 pistols over the years that I sometimes wish I’d kept. I still have quite a few that have been massaged by some really great gunsmiths though. I guess keeping so many to myself would have been kinda greedy. I have made some great friends and associates via the Colt Collector Connection and they have hooked me up in kind. Great old guns.
 
When I bought that 226 I knew I should have bought the 220... just too young to understand at the time didn't know any better.😩 I guess I could find one from the 80's if I look hard enough it will happen someday it's been this long and have passed on a few and maybe I should not of but the right one will show up unexpectedly.

The German P220’s are the Chefs Kiss of DA/SA .45’s
