I used to be very fond of it, but it's been collecting dust (so to speak) since I was converted to 9mm Glocks.

Very nice, are those Hogue checkered P220 Combat grips? Nice pistol.

The grips came from here. I found them to be a huge improvement over the factory grips.

I just spraypainted them.

I wasn't aware that Ernie made a mag catch?

The original public offering of "Navy" models, the NSW serial number guns, was a project done in cooperation with Special Tactical Services to raise money for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. These guns were built precisely to the same spec as genuine NSW ("SEAL") guns ... corrosion resistant internals, no rail, no night sights, and the anchor.

The anchor is there so that NSW units could quickly identify between their older (stamped slide, no anchor) and new (solid stainless slide, anchor) guns.

We actually received formal written permission from WARCOM to use the Trident in our advertisements. SIG also had a small contest for all purchasers of the original NSW guns (2,000 of them) ... the winners got a free trip to Virginia Beach, a briefing by the XO of NSW Group Two, a tour of Little Creek, and a day of free training from the former SEALs who run Special Tactical Services.

We also raised $100,000 for SOWF ... plus another $25,000 for auctioning off serial number one on the Laura Ingraham radio show. You can see the details in the second blurb here at US News.

I personally promised the WARCOM JAG that SIG would never sell Navy guns unless it was to raise more money for SOWF or a similar organization. Nonetheless, SIG now sells the anchor-model guns, calls them "Navy," and doesn't donate any of the money to anyone.

Yup, the current navys aren't real navys as they don't have the coated internals. waste of money to buy one.

Presenting the red-headed step child of the sig lineup. Hated by P-series snobs the world over, but still one of the most underrated pistols sig has ever produced....the Sigpro 2022.

I sent this P220 off for the NP3 refinish at Robar.

I like Sigs - from when they were made in West Germany (the P229R is my only exception). This was taken at a time when I had them dressed up with the fancy grips and blinged the P226 with nickel controls. I have since come to my senses.
