Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

The Sig Sauer P220 has been around since 1976, and there's a reason it's still in production. It was the gun that put Sig on the map in the U.S. market, and the Elite version takes everything right about the original and adds some thoughtful upgrades that make it genuinely better to shoot. The foundation is a lightweight alloy frame with a beavertail grip and front strap checkering, topped with a stainless steel slide machined from solid barstock and finished in Sig's hard-wearing Nitron coating. At 30.4 oz with a loaded mag, it sits in that sweet spot between feeling substantial in hand and not punishing you after a long range session.
The Elite trim adds front cocking serrations to the slide, which gives you more options for performing a press check or running the action without relying solely on the rear serrations. The beavertail is larger than what you'd find on a base model P220, which keeps your grip hand high and consistent while naturally blocking slide bite. The one-piece E2 ergonomic grip wraps cleanly around the frame without the gap that older two-piece grip setups had. And then there's the SRT — Sig's Short Reset Trigger — which tightens up the reset distance in single-action so your trigger finger doesn't have to travel as far forward between shots. It's a genuine improvement for anyone who puts real rounds through this gun.
The DA/SA action means your first shot from a decocked hammer will have a longer, heavier pull — that's just the nature of the system, and it's a tradeoff that a lot of people actually prefer for a carry or duty gun. Once the hammer is back, the single-action pull is crisp and rated at around 4.4 lbs, which makes follow-up shots easy to control. The SIGlite night sights are tritium-filled and glow in low light without any batteries or activation needed. The integrated SIG rail on the dustcover lets you mount a light or laser if you run this gun for home defense. Two steel 8-round magazines ship in the box, giving you a 8+1 capacity in a slim, single-stack package that handles better than most double-stacks of the same size. Backed by Sig's Infinite Guarantee, this is a pistol you can hand down.
In double-action mode the pull is approximately 10 lbs, which is standard for DA/SA pistols and provides a deliberate first shot from a decocked hammer. In single-action, Sig rates the pull at around 4.4 lbs. The SRT (Short Reset Trigger) doesn't change the pull weight but shortens how far the trigger resets forward between shots, which makes a real difference in cadence once you're running it in single-action.
The P220 Elite uses a decocking lever rather than a traditional thumb safety. When you decock the hammer, the pistol is in double-action mode and ready to carry safely without an external safety lever being engaged. Sig also builds in a four-point passive safety system that includes an automatic firing pin block, safety intercept notch, and trigger bar disconnector.
It's a full-size pistol, so it's on the larger end of what most people carry concealed — but the single-stack magazine keeps the width down to 1.3 inches, which makes it slimmer than most double-stack .45s. The alloy frame keeps weight reasonable at 30.4 oz loaded. People who prefer a metal-framed .45 and don't mind the size tend to carry this one without complaints.
The Elite adds front cocking serrations on the slide, a larger beavertail grip frame, the SRT short reset trigger, and front strap checkering — none of which are standard on the base P220. The SIGlite night sights also come standard on the Elite. These are functional upgrades, not just cosmetic ones, and they add up to a noticeably better shooting experience.
The P220 Elite comes with two 8-round single-stack steel magazines. It uses standard Sig P220 .45 ACP magazines, which are widely available. The 8-round capacity is what you'd expect from a single-stack .45, and Sig magazines are known for reliable feeding.
Yes, Sig Sauer backs this pistol with their Infinite Guarantee, which is a fully transferable lifetime warranty that doesn't require a receipt or warranty card registration to be valid. That means even if you buy it secondhand, the warranty still applies.
