You've been here long enough to know by now that WOW!!! is not enough!
We need evidence photos, range reports and personal opinions far more in depth than WOW!!! But I'm happy for you anyhow, I'll be even happier when you meet the above criteria.
ok bye.

First range trip but no pics this time. 250 rounds to break in the 22 and another 250 to break in the 9mm. The 22 shoots about 2" right at 25 yards. A quick sight adjustment handles this. The rimfore version has adjustable sights which I wish SIG would put on the 9mm version also.
The 9mm hits about 1" right and 1" low so I have new sights on order to correct. Overall I am VERY HAPPY. The "new" E2 grip is fantstic. SIG needs to do this on all its weapons. I have a P229 on order that should arrive in the next couple of weeks. Stand by for the report.
I was never a fan of SIG but with their new Short Reset Trigger I am a HUGE fan now. Coupled with the new grip they really have to be experienced as describing them really is not enough. If your local range has them available to rent try them out!

That's a lot better, well done.
For some reason I've never meshed with Sigs either. I wanted but never had a 220 SAS but I owned a 40 and it just wasn't me. The safety decock, and grip, just didn't gel with me. I feel kind of bad since most people really like them.
When they first came out I knew in my heart I had to have and HK, when I finally held one I put it back down and knew it wasn't for me. They run and they are bomb proof, just didn't work for me.
Maybe I need an evaluation?
Now I need to check out the new Sigs when I see one.

You probably won't be disappointed.

I've had professional trigger jobs and SRT kits installed
in my Sig P220/45 and P239/357.
The P220 DA is 8.5 lbs and is sweet.
But the P239 DA pulls at a buttery 7.0 lbs.
And is glassy smooth like my tuned S&W revolvers.
Being that I'm Barth Six Barrels, I will add -
The P220 Storm Lake 5.10" ported black Isonite barrel has
returned from the mother-ship with the chamber and feed ramp
reworked to match OEM Sig Sauer.
It runs perfect now with boxes of Winchester Ranger T and Federal HST ammo.
Bar Sto is late on their manufacture of my extended triple ported P239/357
barrel that was special ordered with opened chamber and feed ramp for HP
reliability.
Looks like the place went on Vacation for about a week! Really...

Excellent. Bar Sto still makes good barrels but they have some very good competition that is at least equal to and if not superior to them.
