SIG P-Series Cheat Sheet

[Blind Bat]

I found the SIG P-Series line to be somewhat confusing so I started making an chart to map out the different model and configuration options. I've decided to upload my chart since it took me a few hours and might save other SIG noobs a bit of time and head scratching.

If any SIG aficionados notice errors or want to school me on some of the missing info (like whether the P210 and P250 use stamped or milled slides) please let me know and I'll update the chart.

I've attached a .pdf and .jpg images and a zipped version of the Excel spreadsheet. I decided to upload them all because the .jpg files came out crummy.

Most of this info came from SIG's website, Wikipedia and world.guns.ru.

Cheers!

Thanks.

You should also try posting this over on www.sigforum.com as it is a forum for Sig aficionados.

Thank for the Worksheet, handy info. Nicely done Excel work, too.

Plus one on posting at the Sig Forum.

Forgot the 240

Awesome! Thanks.

Good work, but I must take issue on a couple of items. First, I would remove the description "extremely accurate" from your entry for the P210. Unless you're going to make a small note about a particular feature of each pistol, you should leave it out as extraneous.

Second, the P228 is still in production for the US Military, isn't it?

 

[Jorg Nysgerrig]

Well done. I was looking for something like this a couple of weeks ago.

 

[The Lone Haranguer]

It used to be a lot simpler. Now they are almost reminiscent of Smith & Wesson's "whiz wheel" (a rotating wheel chart) of the 1990s.

Good Job~!

but, I don't like the idea of the new SIG P250 being supplied with only
one magazine~!

 

[OhioPaints]

Good job, better than Sig provides.

You left out .357Sig cartridges which I believe are available whereever the 40SW is available.

Sig has gotten very confusing with the different variations and their web site doesn't clarify the differences.

And don't forget the Sig P2022, P2009, and P2340.

That is the 210's main claim to fame. Since the Excel sheet is provided with the comment field, we downloaders can include or remove anything we want.

1. i wasn't sure if you left off the all stainless steel models on purpose...Sport and ST line
2. you left off all the SigPro series
3. you left of the 230
4. the 228 is still in production
5. you might consider adding a space for DOA and DAK actions
6. you might consider another space for the SAS, Combat and 220 Compact
7. 220s now have stainless machined slides

I've updated the charts incorporating your some of your suggestions. See the files below as I can't for the life of me figure out how to edit my original post.


I'll answer 9mmepiphany's comments since he touched on most of the issues:

1. i wasn't sure if you left off the all stainless steel models on purpose...Sport and ST line
2. you left off all the SigPro series
3. you left of the 230
4. the 228 is still in production
5. you might consider adding a space for DOA and DAK actions
6. you might consider another space for the SAS, Combat and 220 Compact
7. 220s now have stainless machined slides

1. I was mainly trying to get a feel for the major models of the P-Series line (P220, P226, P229, etc). I'm not sure if I could fit all of the sub models without making the chart overly confusing. I tried to denote the sub model features on page two.

2. Once I discovered there were Sig Pro models other than the 2022, I decided to leave them off the chart for the time being to simplify things. I'll see if I can squeeze the Sig Pro models on there when I get a few minutes.

3. What is the difference between the P230 and the P232? The only thing concrete difference I could find was that the P230 was available in .32 as well as .380 and the P232 is only available in .380.

4. The 228 is only currently sold to the military, right? I've made a footnote on the chart denoting this.

5 & 6. I've updated the chart with a note about the compact and carry 220's. Are the trigger option fields on page 2 okay and correct?

7. Thanks. I've made a note of that. Any idea when they made the change to the entire P220 line?

P239 is a milled stainless slide. Always have been.

Both the P228 and the P225 are in limited production in Europe but simply no longer being imported by Sig Sauer formerly Sig Arms. The production on the P228 is still moving I believe but the P225 is special order, govt agency only. IIRC

You should also separate the Polymers from the Classic Sig line.

The only Sig Pro currently in production is the SP2022.

Otherwise nice effort.

The P232 is an updated 230. Not much difference. The 230 has the European mag release (on the heel), I suspect the 232 has the "normal" release.

I doubt that the .32 version has generally been available in the U.S. I heard there was a batch of German police units imported, but I've never heard of any others on this side of the pond. I'm not sure why anyone would chose .32 ACP (and probably nobody would!)

The P230 has a single dot on the front sight and a single dot on the rear, whereas the P232 has more conventional 3-dot sights. There reportedly are some internal differences, but I haven't heard that they're significant.

 

[Blind Bat]

Thanks guys. I'll make those changes tomorrow. I found SIG publishes a chart of their current product line in the back of their online catalog PDF file.

Since the catalog is huge (18mb), I've attached images of the two relevant pages. It looks like all the slides are now stainless except the for the P232. Unfortunately, the SIG chart doesn't say if it's a sheet of stainless or a milled billet.

 

[ColinthePilot]

This is just what I've been needing to decipher the P-numbers of Sig. Great job. I don't know enough to seriously critique the nitty gritty, but i would include the polymers (including the P250) but put them together, like all at the bottom of the chart. Thats just my $.02. Still, great work!

 

[Chem Geek]

A few nitpicky details...

The SAS is not a trigger option, it includes the DAK trigger.
It's SAO, not SOA.
All current models have milled stainless slides.
At least on supplier websites they list the P250 in 9mm, .40, .357, and .45 although they're not available, I would imagine rather shortly they will be. Also for the P250 you'll have 3 size frames, with 4 different calibers and 3 different round counts for each, it's going to need a larger section!

There's an insane number of variations in the Sig line, I wouldn't want to go through the effort of making that chart, so thanks!
