This thread reminds me of when I learned that Ruger was going to discontinue their P-90 lineup. I never wanted one 'til they were going away. I ended up getting the stainless steel model......only one left in stock. After I ordered it, out of stock was indicated on the website. Got it in a few days later. While I am still happy I ordered it, I can sort see why it was discontinued. It is a polymer world now, like it or not. The pistol is big for an 8+1 capacity. The barrel even has the link just like the 1911.
I have had a couple of Sig 220's over the years. Ok pistols, but I never warmed up to them. But the pistol did catch my eye when it was the Browning BDA. Still think the 220 looks great, but it isn't tugging at my heart-strings.
