Leave it to Sig

10mm coming in the P220 platform! :cool:

Hopefully production will be sooner rather than later. All there is so far is an announcement, no release date or spy photos. Also heard that Sig will be releasing 10mm ammo. Who said the 10 was dead?

[wildcard600]

10 is dead. everyone knows that .40 is da bees knees mang.


:rolleyes:

Interesting. Not sure if I am excited, but it is interesting. Suppose if they are doing the 220, and then translate it into the 227 it might make things even more interesting. Will have to wait and see I suppose. But, more options are never a bad thing.

[WickedWillis]

Interesting. I still firmly believe the 10mm is a niche round though.

Full house 10mm loads in a alloy frame seems like a good way to wear out a pistol.

Good point. There are some steel framed guns that were not up to the task.

Supposedly being done in the ST format.

Hrmm.....interesting. I've been using, and working on Sigs since the late 1990s, and I've always thought the P220 would be an ideal 10mm platform. I never liked how fat the Glock 10/.45 grips were, so I never bothered getting a 10mm. A P220 in 10mm would would be far more ergonomic, and since I carry a .45 P220 on duty....very practical. My question would be whether Sig gets MecGar to make the magazines, or would they f**k it up by getting a cheaper supplier for the mags. Then of course, would they be able to engineer the pistol to handle full power 10mm given the questionable engineering they have done since 2004. We got a few MP5s in 10mm a while back(in addition to our old 9mm and .40 MP5s), and what was interesting was how much better the penetration of the 10mm was against various barrier materials versus the other calibers(.45 Tommy Gun too). Whether it be auto body materials, pressure treated wood, or 1" thick plexi glass, the 10mm would punch through those materials and keep on going. The only round that we found that could do a similar job was IMI 124gr 9mm SUB gun ammo running at almost 1400fps.

Grayguns converted P220s with stainless frames to 10MM. SIG is going to make several versions, all stainless frames - DA/SA, SAO, long slide, etc.

[brickboy240]

Knowing SIG of lately...it will come in several colored finishes and maybe have a wrist brace thingy!

LOL

Steel frame, long slide, and SAO all in the same gun?

Hmmmm. Very interesting.

Just in time to sell the Army [emoji1]

[Drifting Fate]

I want for no other reason than I want. That's the nice thing about America. I don't have to justify it to anyone but myself.

Okie JohnNot sure if it was all in the same format, but they did a good number.

All had to be stainless frames and stainless slides.

I've toyed with the idea of running it, but it's really just too much ass ache for me at this time.

I'm holding out for the diamond plate finish personally. Maybe that sick dragon with gold plating too.




/sarcasm.....

I really want one, I love Sigs and I love the 10mm round. When I first read these were coming out I squealed like a girl. I know it's bad, but at least a first rate company besides Glock is producing a 10mm. I don't want a 1911 model so my options at the moment are limited. I own a Glock 20 and 29 as well as a CZ clone from EAA which I love.

[opmike]

I fell asleep three times trying to work up any kind of interest in a 10mm Sig. My eyes nearly got stuck in the back of my head hearing they'll be making "Sig Ammo" for it.

Well its better than them trying to develop their own brand specific round I suppose lol.

The 10mm would be interesting in the p210 model though.

[brickboy240]

Just what we need...another new P-Series offering and in a caliber that is expensive and not easy to find.

Will they offer it in a rainbow finish?

LOL

[Sry0fcr]

Will they offer it in a rainbow finish?

Sadly, I think we all know the answer to this question.

[Ryno12]

Personally, I welcome any new platform chambered in 10mm. I think it's a great round especially from a reloader's standpoint.
