Have you tried a newer P226 with the slimmer E2 grip? It's really quite excellent. A sweet shooter with a fantastic trigger IME...
I've had a bunch of SIGs over the years, and have yet to find one -- with a possible single exception -- that really seems to fit me just right. (I do have a P228 that has had a good bit of work done to it by Gray Guns; the work was all done before I bought it, and I got it for a relatively reasonable price. It's nice. It came with the GG special Reduced Reset Comprehensive Duty Package, the short reset trigger -- it was a 228r so I don't know what THAT package entailed -- and Heinie Night Sights.)
I've had a bunch of SIGs over the years; a GSR, 2 P220s, a P220 Match, a P220 Super Match, 2 P226s, 2 P239s (in 9mm, one with a DAK trigger), a P226 X-Five (.40) and a P-210-6. The P-210-6 was amazingly accurate, with a wonderful trigger, but other things about the gun irritated me: mag release, 8-round mag, the cost of extra mags, sharp sights that had to be dehorned, a stiff safety, and the mag release on the butt. I had all of these guns when I was shooting a lot, and doing IDPA matches at least monthy... so they all had their chance.
Most of the P220s fit me well, and I liked them well enough, but it was just "like" not "love." I know some might consider it sacrilege, but I would prefer shooting my Glock 38 to shooting the SIG .45 if I were competing. Don't do that as much, nowadays, so it might be a moot point. (I'm retired and watch my money a little more closely.)
I've been tempted to look at and try the P227, but am afraid it will feel like a P226, to me -- but won't know until I try.
