Does anyone have some personal info about the Sig 2022? Anybody own one? Give a brief description and your opinion on its performance in whatever caliber (9mm, .40, or .357) Here is a shot of one:
I do not have the SP2022, but do own its "predecessor", the SP2340, with both the 40S&W and 357Sig barrels.
Opinions? For a pistol with a 3.86" barrel, it is frighteningly accurate, at least at 25 yards shooting my handloads. The pistol, when new, printed about 3" low at that distance, but replacing the rear sight with the next taller one fixed that problem and brought the POI right up to the POA (but I did have to shell out $90 for a dedicated sight removal tool). Currently, it will group, at 25 yards, about 3" and 2.5" with my 40S&W and 357Sig handloads, respectively.
The factory recoil spring does a respectable job of dampening the
felt recoil with my 40S&W handloads, but is somewhat inadequate for my 357Sig ones which are loaded a bit on the warm side (124 gr. FP projectile over 5.6 gr. of Universal at a COAL of 1.140"); recoil with the 357 Sig is very snappy and brass is thrown about 20' away. A stronger recoil spring would definitely be a welcome upgrade. Personally, for all my pistols, I like to use the strongest recoil spring that will still allow the slide to cycle reliably. However, I am not aware of any company currently making aftermarket recoil springs for the SigPro.
The SigPro is
surprisingly easy to completely detail-strip (with one exception: the firing pin) for cleaning and maintenance work. The one-piece extractor can be removed with just a screwdriver, and the entire fire control module can be removed from the rear of the frame and completely disassembled. It is evident that a lot of thought went into engineering the SigPro to be easily maintainable.
Here is a "glamour" shot of my SP2340. You can see from the image that I replaced the standard trigger with the "short trigger" to reduce trigger reach (I have somewhat small hands). In addition, I replaced the hammer mainspring (part #33) with a lighter one from a CZ, lightly stoned the sear (#36) and replaced the sear spring (#37) with a lighter one I had in my parts bin. The net result of these modifications is the SA trigger now breaks very cleanly at around 3 lbs.
I do not think you will regret getting an SP2022.
