My New Range Toy: I now own a SIG!!
I had been wanting to get a full-size 9mm for range use, not for CCW. I considered M&P, CZ, Glock, etc. but I always wanted to own a SIG, so I just picked this up today from my FFL. SIG SP2022, FDE, 9mm, SA/DA, 15+1, decocker, and factory night sights. I bought it from Grab-A-Gun. The description on the website said it came with only 1 mag. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised when I picked it up to discover that it came in a very nice case with not 1, but 2 mags (mags for this gun go for around $40.00, so getting the second mag with the gun made me very happy), as well as a decent Sig Sauer paddle holster and a different size back strap grip. All this for under $500.00! I know they can be had for less if you search around, but I thought this was an excellent value, especially with the factory night sights included.
This gun was and is produced under contract to the French government, for use by the French National Police, border guards, and other French LE agencies. The contract goes through the year 2022, hence the model designation SP2022. SIG has produced and sold tens of thousands of these to the French government; I suspect that is why they can be purchased so inexpensively by the public-the tooling has long since been amortized, so the cost to manufacture them is very low.
I will be going to the range tomorrow morning; plan to run at least 100 rounds through it. I will post s range report after. I have every reason to expect that it will run flawlessly based on reports from others.
