P220 equivalent?

[1986s4]

IMO:

Browning HP
CZ 75 SAO
Colt Commander

The CZ in particular sits low in the hand.

The S&W M&P can be had with a safety. So a nice trigger job with the safety should yield a nice SA like pull.

I was just wondering - what would be considered the closest equivalent of the Sig P220 / P226 SAO in other firearm brands?

Maybe I should ask, why not just buy the Sigs?

I'll echo what's been said previously;

HK (multiple alternatives/calibers);

Hi Power (9mm or .40 {out of print but still reasonably available used};

1911 (numerous alternatives/calibers)

Cee Zed (numerous alternatives/calibers)

Best, Jon

Thanks for the replies guys...

Can't find any 9mm P220's commonly available in Australia. Plus I wouldn't mind expanding my inventory from just Sig's (which is all I own at the moment) to trying another brand to get familiar with.

There is a little different muscle memory going between DA/SA and SAO classic Sigs, due to the arrangement of decocker/slide catch/safety levers on the side. Some go back and forth, but it's enough that it could interrupt automatic operation of the machine if you get trained into a groove with one and then go carry the other. Most pistols have the slide catch farther forward, so you can go relatively easily between a variety of brands. For instance, a third-gen S&W, USP and Beretta 92 are all reasonably close in operation and control layout, especially if you have them all configured decocker-only. The rearward position of the slide catch with the decocker in front of it on a DA/SA Sig is a different pattern of muscle memory. Works awesome, but consideration should be given to adopting it exclusively or not at all, IMO.
