392heminut Posted October 8, 2014 Report Posted October 8, 2014 So, I won a Sig SP2022 in a raffle but it was in Phoenix and I'm waiting for it to get to my LGS. Any of you guys have any experience with this particular gun? It's a 40 S&W. I know Sig's in general are pretty good guns but I have absolutely no experience with this one.
planeflyer21 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 Yes! They are good low-end pistols! I've shot both the 9mm and the .40 S&W. Both felt good in my hands (about half the size of your Yeti mitts <laughs> ), were accurate, and were reliable for the few rounds I shot them. Not really worth much in trade. Keep it! Never know when you'll need a cheap (free) pistol.
392heminut Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Posted October 9, 2014 Well, the price was definitely right! I've got $30 in it, $10 in raffle tickets and $20 shipping. My LGS doesn't charge me for transfers.
Robocop1051 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 That was supposed to be the affordable Sig option to compete against Glocks. It is the upgrade to the Sig Pro.
MONTANA308 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 I shot one in 357 sig. Defiantly a good gun to win but I'm not sure I would buy one I wasn't to impressed with it. I love my Sigs just this one I was not feeling. Ya can't be a won gun though.
Microgunner Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 Congratulations. We see a lot of them at the shop so they're pretty popular.
shibiwan Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) It's a really nice handgun that nobody knows about. Great trigger feel, although the decocking lever feels different from a P226 (not bad, only different feel). Mine shoots really well, on par with any sig out there. ....dare I say "better than a Glock". <laughs> Edited October 9, 2014 by shibiwan
EasyEJL Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 one of my friends switched to these as his primary carry gun and won't carry anything else since. He's an FFL so he's got access to whatever.
392heminut Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Posted October 9, 2014 Thanks for the feedback guys! <thumbsup>
shepp Posted October 9, 2014 Report Posted October 9, 2014 I wish I had half your fucking luck how many guns can one guy win?!?
392heminut Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Posted October 10, 2014 <lmao> It's been a good year for sure!
shibiwan Posted October 10, 2014 Report Posted October 10, 2014 What raffle was this? Why did I not know about this?
98Z5V Posted October 10, 2014 Report Posted October 10, 2014 They were discriminating - only big hairy white guys over 6'5" were invited. They weighed them at the door, and you had to be 290lbs to make the cut. Don't worry, I didn't know, either... <lmao>
shibiwan Posted October 10, 2014 Report Posted October 10, 2014 Dang... I thought I could drive there and pretend I'm from NM and claim the 2022. :D

Robocop1051 Posted October 10, 2014 Report Posted October 10, 2014 Think about it... If you just won a raffle against some Chewbacca-looking giant, would you accept the prize?
392heminut Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Posted October 10, 2014 It was a 4 gun raffle put on by the Choir Boys LEMC in Phoenix for their C.U.F.F.S. run (the same one I was at last year when I met you for lunch Tom). The other guns were a Thompson 45 ACP carbine, a Uberti 45 Colt SAA, and an Auto Ordinance 1911. I actually bought the ticket at our Fallen Officer Run in El Paso back on the 1st. of September, I didn't make it to the Phoenix run due to the budget issues I've had. http://www.cuffsrun.com/#!choir-boys-gun-raffle/c24mh If they do it again next year I'll post contact info for any of you guys that want to get tickets. BTW, we (New Mexico Region Choir Boys) will be raffling off an RIA Tactical 1911 at our run in late May or early June, one of these; I will be doing a trigger job on it and probably some other upgrades, I might even try and talk Tom into doing a FDE Cerakote job on it!
unforgiven Posted October 10, 2014 Report Posted October 10, 2014 Damn it Larry WTF..... >:D Congrats brother...but really WTF.... <lmao>
shepp Posted October 11, 2014 Report Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) Yea lemme know hemi I'll have you buy me one but you gotta rub your luck on it:D Edited October 11, 2014 by shepp
98Z5V Posted October 11, 2014 Report Posted October 11, 2014 I might even try and talk Tom into doing a FDE Cerakote job on it! I'm IN!!! <thumbsup>
shibiwan Posted October 11, 2014 Report Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) They do come in FDE (with FDE or black grips) if you didn't already know. Here's how it will look. Edited October 11, 2014 by shibiwan
392heminut Posted October 11, 2014 Author Report Posted October 11, 2014 Nah, I was talking about cerakoting the 1911 after the work is done on it. Dammit Shibi, NOW you got me thinking about an FDE Sig! :thefinger:
Rsquared Posted October 12, 2014 Report Posted October 12, 2014 How much $hit can one guy win? <laughs>
Sisco Posted October 12, 2014 Report Posted October 12, 2014 I got the SP2022 in 40 S and W. I picked up a 357 Sig. Barrel for it but havent tried that yet. Like a lot of carbon fiber frames it feels top heavy and takes a little getting used to. It is huge! But makes up for it by being light. It weighs 3 oz less than my 1911 Officers model. Fobus makes a pancake holster that fits it nicely. My son doesn't like the trigger, but it doesn't bother me. I have the Sig night sights (fixed). They are designed to "cover" the target like a lot of modern pistols, rather than a "6 o'clock' sight picture. They shoot dead on at ten yards for everyone but me who has tried them. They shoot two inches left for me, but that is due to eye damage I got a long time ago. Overall, for the price it is a heck of a bargain. I am thinking of upgrading to a Sig P227 in 45 ACP, but if I do I may just hang on to this one any way. I have size XXL mitts and really like that they have multiple backstrap inserts of varying widths to best fit your hand.
