BlueLineFish 615 Posted May 23, 2014 Contemplating a Sig p220. Torn between an older german made 220 or getting a newer 220 scorpion dak. Are the german ones more valuable or collectable or should I just get a newer one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mag1 0 Posted May 23, 2014 I would like an older german 220 definitely. The new ones do have better balance and finish Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bry@n 195 Posted May 23, 2014 Ahhh. I believe TJ Sporting Arms can get you a German or west German 220. That being said, my feeling is the essence if Sig was at that time. I think lately sig has gone the way of Kimber with too many offerings. IMO and experience, the stock triggers on the older Germans and west Germans have always been smoother. I don't feel you can go wrong either way. The benefit of getting the newer would be that you can swap from the dak to da/sa if you wanted. Don't believe that can happen with the older models. Also the triggers might be thinner on the older models. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bry@n 195 Posted May 23, 2014 I'm looking for a p229 in 9mm right now. My preference is for a older slide with German frame gun. I could have purchased one today but the frame was from Exeter. To give you an idea of what is do. Joe, your the man. Get both!!! Lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rick_F 5 Posted May 23, 2014 I have a '11 P220 elite stainless with a SIG tuned trigger. It's buttery smooth. Shoot me a PM if you'd like to try it. I tried a P229 in DAK and didn't really care for the trigger. If you are against the DA/SA, maybe look into the SAO versions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jds560 0 Posted May 23, 2014 I would probably buy the older one. I was looking at SIG's myself but there are few aftermarket options for the SAO models so there's just no point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
