Older West German P220 nicer than new sig's?

[Old Dog]

I like 'em all. Frankly, although the weight and balance of the more recent production models is noticeable to me, I find something to appreciate about with every model SIG ... my newer SIGs are every bit as reliable as my older West German and German pistols. I shoot the West German 226 and 228 alongside their newer brothers and appreciate the differences.

Latest addition, the P-227 -- every bit as reliable as my 220, but holds 3 more rounds in an exceptionally ergonomic and accurate package.

Just bought this one yesterday.
The beauty of this one really caught my eye.
Looks nearly new except for the "Smiley" & some internal finish loss due to firing.
It is a Browning import from 1977 as the "HH" proof mark indicates.

Nice!

Wow this thread is old.
A year and a half later and my opinion hasn't changed.
The West German 9mm guns were better than the .45s
It took American experience to make the .40 & .45 Sig pistols really shine.
