Hey everyone, I am looking at a Sig SP2009. Can anyone tell me anything about it pro or con? It comes with a ten round mag. I am wondering if it will take the 15 round mags. The price tag is $400 NIB which seems more than reasonable to me. Let me know what you think.
 
It's a great deal for $400 NIB. Are you sure it's new? Been a while since they made the 2009 I think. I have mixed feelings about mine. It never really fit my hand perfectly (either grip, now with Hogue sleeve) and I have the crappy slide-mounted safety (you probably won't have to deal with that - limited bs police over-run). However, it is pretty comfortable to shoot and easy to point so I get great groups with it. Second, it is very well made and a solid design (maybe adding to its bulkiness). It has always functioned perfectly with the 15 rounders as I'm sure yours will.
 
The main difference between the 2009 and the current 2022 is that the 2009 used a nonstandard rail. If you want to mount a light your options are limited.
 
If you really want a Sig Pro Id look around for the 2022. I have seen them brand new for around $450. I had the 2022, it had a nice trigger and was very accurate, but I couldnt get use to how fat the grip was. Spend 100 bucks more and get a CPO 226 or 229.
 
That's a good price.

I owned, and later sold and SP2022. The grip never felt to comfy to me and I think I got one of the few Sig Pros with a lousy trigger. DA pull was heavy and gritty.

It's a well-made pistol and a terrific value if it works for you. A little more work to field strip than a classic Sig.

In the end, I just preferred my Glock 19 and Walther P99c in a polymer-framed 9mm.
 
My 2009 has been with me the longest, and with about 5 years from when I got it new it's had well over 10k rounds. If you can get it to fit your hand you will not be disappointed.
 
I used to own an SP 2009. In fact, I did a little search (unrelated) on this forum and found my old post where I used that gun in my first IPSC match.

The 2009 is the 9mm version of Sig's plastic pistol. It has since been replaced with something else can't remember the new plastic gun's model #, but the 2009 is no longer being made andit isn't compatible w/ the newer plastic model.

I remember that gun to be kind of big even with its smaller grip. It had 2 interchangable grips. You should try it if possible. Other than the grip size, the over all dimensions is also on the large side. I can't remember the magazine round count, but 15 seems familiar.

My SP2009 was 100% reliable, it's never failed even during competions. I sold it mainly because I couldn't find a lot of parts or good holsters for it because it was not a popular gun. I personally would not buy this gun because it wasn't popular enough to create a large amount of left-over-oem or aftermarket parts.
 
Thanks for the feedback

This place is a great resource. I really appreciate everyones input. I am still up in the air, but leaning more towards a m&p compact, glock 19, or springfield xd. I handled a sig yesterday, and it did seem a little wide for my taste. I really wanted to love it.
 
I've owned a sig pro 2009 for about 6 years now. It has had about 2000 rounds through it without any failures or problems of any kind. I feel it is well balanced. If it feels good in your hands (grips not too big) I would get it. A new sig for $400 is usually a good deal. Fobus also makes a decent paddle holster for it.
 
I guy at the local gunshop said they no longer make the 2022 either. I wonder why these guns didn't take off. They are obviously quality guns, and get good reviews and prices are under $500. Can't figure this one out.
 
The Sig Pro was never popular in the U.S. It is much larger and heavier than other polymer guns and the Sig fans prefer the classic metal frame models. The only thing keeping it going was a huge French police contract. The 250 is replacing the Sig Pro models.
 
I have a Sig Pro 2340. It is an earlier generation so it does not have a Picatinny rail (it has a funky proprietary rail that will only recieve the huge light or lazer that is designed by SIG). I bought it slightly used but it looked brand new and had about 150 rounds through it. I purchased a .357 SIG barrel for it (it came with a .40 S&W). I have put about 600 rounds through it (a combo of both .40 S&W and .357 SIG) and it has functioned perfectly. It was obvious to me that SIG intended to get rid of the SIG Pro when they came out with the P250. It will compete with the Glock better because of its interchangable frames (sizes). Speaking as a person who currently owns a Sig Pro, if you are able to handle the DAO trigger of the P250, it may be a better buy. I suspect it will have more SIG attention and after market support. I am only keeping the SIG Pro because I have invested so much money in it.:) Since getting my P226, I anticipate the 2340 will become a safe queen.
 
I have small hands and yet my SIG SP2009 is my "go to" gun. The grip is just a tad too large, but the other advantages of the pistol outweigh that.

It is 100% relaible, built like a tank (just take a look at those slide rails), and when you shoot it, it gives complete confidence in its abilities.

If you have found one that is new in box, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Hi-cap mags are not cheap (got lucky in an auction and got 3 for $60).

That's a fantastic price, recommend you buy.
 
I also have the SIGPRO 2340 .40 S&W and a second .357 SIG barrel. Mine is a Blueline and is one of my favorite guns. There are smaller grips made for it.
