Tell me about the compact Sig 220 DAK

[1911luver]

I looked at and really like this gun I'm referring to the all black Sig p220 compact with light rail,bobbed hammer and the DAK trigger I think it is,its DAO with no decocker. Anyone here have one of these guns? if so how has it performed? I know the reliability of the full size P220 is well kno,but are there any issues to with these shorter P220's?

Its a used gun and the asking price is $600 OTD it is like brand new in the box and has both magazines and all Sig manuals,it this a good price for this gun? I figure this gun will conceal pretty easily IWB thanks for any feed back guys.

With a SIG classic (P-series), any size, reliability is seldom an issue. The important factors are that YOU like the gun and that YOU are comfortable with it. I'm not a fan of the DAK trigger, but I know many on here are. It's a subjective thing and it just takes getting acclimated to the two reset points. The compact P220 is, essentially, the old P245 - I believe the mags are still marked that way - a nice size carry gun. The price you quoted sounds good - of course what do I know, I live in NJ where everything is more expensive. Just do it. Remember though, you can never have just one SIG. Enjoy.

Adios,

What is DAK trigger?

What is DAK trigger?

DAK stands for Double Action Kellerman after the man who developed it. Its a a double action trigger that has two different reset points for the trigger, as well as a lower trigger pull weight. It has second strike capability. It is a very smooth but long trigger pull. I like it, especially in a defensive handgun. It greatly reduces accidental discharges. It does take some getting used to but I like it as much of not more than DA/SA.

The 220 series is nice because you can get any trigger system SIG makes. I have a "special" 220 Carry in SAO, and it's a 5 lb very smooth trigger pull. So see if you cah somehow try the different trigger systems and get the one you like best! The one you looked at sounds like a decent deal.

If it were me, I'd buy it. But then, I had a P220 full-size that I sold and regretted almost immediately. The only thing I didn't like was the DA/SA trigger. I've been looking for a good used example in DAK.
