yesterday and was extremely impressed with it's handling and accuracy. It's a brand new pistol but the trigger was seemingly a lighter pull than my other Sigs in SA mode. It fits the holster I use for my P239 perfectly. It's also a very cool looking gun and the aluminum grips are very comfortable. It comes with NS. The beavertail feels like my 1911s and allows a slightly higher hold than i.e. my P226. The single stack 6 shot mags(2) worked flawlessly and it fed RN 230s, 185 JHPs, 200 JHP, +P and regular pressure .45 ammo. The safety lever is slightly stiff but with some lube and use I expect it to smooth out. Certainly don't want the safety too loose. It's not as light or as thin as my G36 but it's less than 30ozs. OTOH: Felt recoil was much better than the Glock and seemed more controllable on double taps.

BTW: at 10yds. it easily filled up the bull ring on timed 3 rd. fire. I am not a great shot but this gun felt good and should be a very competent CCW.
 
I've been drooling over a 220 SAO for over a year....now I find out about the 227.
 
Haven't had the time to put a camera on it. You can see it on Sigs website under discountinued pistols. They are somewhat hard to find esp. in the two tone. Mine is nitron finished. Am looking for some extra mags on-line.
