Talk:SIG Sauer P220

message: The p220 is chambered only in .45 caliber!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:*Perhaps today it is; however, it was available in all of the chamberings mentioned at one time.  I've seen examples of each, except for the .22LR conversion.  D.E. Watters 23:58, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I would like to propose that SIG P225 be merged into this article, per WP:GUNS#"Target" versions; which states that variants of firearms that were only changed slightly from the original should be in the same article as the original. As the P225 is just a shortened P220, with a smaller pistol grip, it is not different enough to warrant its own separate article in my opinion.--LWF 05:39, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I support this, but not only the P225, the entire family, like we did with the Glock. Koalorka (talk) 20:27, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

text: What is it they say about glass houses and throwing stones?  You just confused the single-stack P225 with the double-stack P228.  --D.E. Watters (talk) 22:39, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

text: The P225 is the "commander" type, reduced size version of the P220.  As the previous poster noted, it is slimmer, and single stack.  It is also known as the P6, in its European police variant.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.20.243.33 (talk) 14:20, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: There will most definitely be a merger, once I have the time to rewrite the page. The community is wrong, yet again. The quality and accuracy of the article will not be sacrified to appease 5 or so misinformed editors with an opinion. Sources and accuracy trump any misguided consensus. Koalorka (talk) 23:38, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You have not given any reason why there should be a merger.  The general consensus is that there should not be, because they are two rather different pistols.  If you have any reason why there *should* be a merger, you haven't yet given it.  So why should there be? Skywalkert65b (talk) 00:13, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Can someone confirm this? It seems to me the weapon would catch on fire... Could it be "Phosphatized", which is a corrosion protection treatment?

message: The "Bund" article doesn't say ex-army P220s cost 30 CHF! It gives this number for ex-army SIG 510 assault rifles - which may be correct. I myself bought one for only 50 CHF from an ex-soldier, the market for old army rifles in Switzerland is an extreme buyer's market, because there are so many around, a decreasing number of private shooters and export is virtually forbidden. But used pistols don't go from private to private for 30, rather 500-800 CHF! Please delete this wrong information, otherwise the article is nice.

replies: text: Well, I thought too that the price is very low, but that's what the paper reported. Every year, some 10,000 soldiers are discharged and many get (or got) a pistol for free, after all. I'll try and find the article again. If we find some other quote from a reliable source, we can put that one in. Sandstein 21:41, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

text: You're right. On re-reading the article, the weapons dealer quoted (Guggisberg) does appear to be talking about the administrative fee, not the price, which would appear very low indeed. I'll make the change. Sandstein 06:25, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

text: Actually, some normal soldiers are equipped with a sidearm. Me, for instance... I was a medical soldier and we all had sidearms only.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.6.11.24 (talk) 13:13, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

message: It's been back and forth on this page for a while over whether the hooked hammer is for a zip tie or to show if the gun has been dropped on its hammer.
I'm of the latter opinion.  I've seen the Youtube video of the guy saying it's for a zip tie, but I've had former German police officers tell me that they had a big problem with them getting dropped on their hammers and damaging the firing pins/firing pin blocks, so my anecdotal evidence is at least as good as the other guy's.
I've been trying to contact Sig for some time to get an answer from them about this; could others do the same?  I hate to see incorrect information on Wikipedia no matter who's right. Jwjohnson (talk) 17:03, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

message: "This simplifies manufacture but has no functional disadvantages."
The "but" implies a detraction, a problem in comparison to the just stated issue. Does this single lug design simplify manufacturing but create a disadvantage or does it simplify without any functional disadvantage? Perhaps it should be mentioned that it simplifies manufacturing at the price of a wider and boxier slide. But I'm not a weapons expert so I don't know exactly what this does. Perhaps a page on the virtues of this and other locking systems should be created.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.65.119.226 (talk) 08:13, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps you could have simply replaced "but" with "and". Would have been quicker, more efficient. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 14:01, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

message: * The P220 was initially imported to the United States as the Browning Double Action (BDA) and then as the P220. 
This article contains this unsourced assertion. If it's true, it should be added to the Browning BDA article as well. If it isn't, it should be deleted. Rezin (talk) 22:48, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
