SIG-Sauer P220R - .45 ACP. This is the current production version of the SIG-Sauer P220 pistol.

For help identifying SIG-Sauer P220 Series pistols, see: SIG-Sauer P220 Pistol Series Gallery.

NOTE: In the past, some IMFDB users have mis-spelled "SIG-Sauer" as "Sig Sauer". "Sig Sauer" is not the correct spelling; "SIG" is an acronym for Swiss Industrial Society ("Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft " in German), and thus, all three letters should be capitalized. Also, it is preferred that IMFDB users put a hyphen between "SIG" and "Sauer".

SIG-Sauer P225 Nickel - 9x19mm

Specifications

(1985 - 1998)

  • Type: Pistol
  • Caliber: 9x19mm
  • Weight: 1.6 lbs (0.74 kg)
  • Length: 7.1 in (18 cm)
  • Barrel length: 3.9 in (9.8 cm)
  • Capacity: 8-round magazine
  • Fire Modes: Semi-Auto (SA/DA or DAO)

It should be noted that a variation of the SIG 225 is the SIG P6, a West German police handgun from the 70's and 80's. In some films, it may actually be the SIG P6, rather than the P225, but for the sake of argument, the two are interchangeable.

Notable differences between the SIG 225 and the SIG P6 are that the P6 has a much heavier main-spring (giving it an intensely heavy DA pull) and a cruder feed ramp, thus lowering reliability with hollow point rounds. The P225, being a commercial weapon, was available with tritium night sights, while the P6 has standard iron sights.

SIG-Sauer P228R - 9x19mm

The SIG-Sauer P228 was introduced in 1988 for commercial sale and was used by the U.S. Secret Service until it was replaced by the newer P229 in .357 SIG. It is also used by the U.S. Military (under the designation M11). Also used in limited numbers by Pilots and Criminal Investigation forces due to need of a more compact weapon and can be authorized for shooters with smaller hands who have trouble gripping the Beretta 92FS properly. Note that the newer SIG P228R has a squared trigger guard. It is no longer in production, being now completely supplanted by the P229.

Specifications

Current production model SIG-Sauer P229

The SIG-Sauer P229 DAK (Double Action Kellerman) pistol was introduced to serve as a compact version of the P226 that could handle the higher velocity .357 SIG and .40 S&W rounds. The previous P228 had a lighter weight cast slide that could only take the higher pressure rounds if an overly heavy spring were installed. The newer P229 used a heavier CNC Machined steel slide that could take the high velocity return with a standard spring and not damage the pistol. The SIG P229 chambered in .40 S&W is the standard issue pistol of Department of Homeland Security and the Coast Guard, and P229s in .357 SIG are the standard side arm of the U.S. Secret Service, and are commonly used by police departments around the country. When the P229 was expanded to offer the 9x19mm as a standard caliber, that marked the end of the production life of the older P228.

  • Type: Pistol
  • Caliber: .45 ACP

Note: Released to Public in 1999. Discontinued in 2006. Replaced by the SIG-Sauer P220 Carry or P220 Compact. While the shorter barrel was popular there were complaints about the short grip. The company now sells an extended eight round magazine for the P245. The P220 Carry/Compact is what many feel should have been made all along.
