Ok, got to shoot t today - shot 100%. Whenever I shot a 45, the first shot always surprise me at the recoil - I don't get that in 9mm, for whatever reason...
Anyway, I like the gun. I shot it as well as any of my other guns. I have a pic of a target below - that was 5 rounds, all in 1 whole. That wasn't too bad. For a guy who has slight tremors in his left hand, I never shoot as well as I wish I could. But today, I was probably the best shooter on the range, whatever that's worth (not much).
Now, I did get rounds in the center of the target, so the sights aren't off. I just posted this particular target because all the holes in the paper were touching. As I got used to the gun, I got it more centered. The rear sight notch isn't as wide as I prefer it to be. So, it's easy to accidentally tilt the gun slightly, which is what I did in that target I posted.
I do like the gun a lot. I shot some hydrashoks thru i t to test the gun, and i plan to keep it loaded with those rounds....
I did take my fullsize Dan Wesson Valor 1911 to compare to the 220, and shot a few mags thru it. I shoot the Valor better than any handgun I own. A big part of that is the 2 dot sights. It's MUCH easier to shoot tight groups with the 2 dots than the 3 dots, IMHO. And, I never even liked 2 dot sights until I got this Valor.
I would get straight 8 sights for the Sig 220 - but the official Heine brand doesn't have a white ring around the front tritium insert.
That is my preference - and other brands that copied that design use white around the front dot. My Glock 17 is my 2nd most accurate gun (just barely, barely better grops than my Beretta 92), and it's because of the same style of sights. It didn't shoot nearly as well for me until I got rid of the factory sights and got 2 dot Warren Sevigny sights. There are no "copy brands" of straight 8s for the Sig 220, though.... Nor do they may them for the Beretta 92.
Anyway, gun is a keeper.

My first "real" SIG, P226 in .40S&W
I love the look of the wood grips, I just wish I could have found a set that were the same thickness as the factory grips. These make the gun feel huge.
