The SP2022 is a modern poly gun which was developed from the orginal Swiss/German SigPro line for the French Police services. It was put into service in 2002 and will be used for 20 years which is why it is named the SP2022. They used to be made in Germany. These came with triple serial numbers on the frame/barrel and slide. A lot of contract overruns where brought into the country and sold for around $400 with night sights and 3 magss. These are highly prized. These guns have a internal extractor and a glossy black Ifflon finish vs the more common nitron.

Sig sold a lot of these but they saw a niche and won a few US contracts and moved production to the US. They made some modification like an external extractor, small & medium grips with an internal laynard loop and few mim parts changes and you now have Exter Sp2022. They now ship with a single mag and contrast sights but at a sub $400 price point are still a great value.

The Sig Pro line and the SP2022 have a different trigger feel and design than the classic P series. It has a long but smooth DA trigger that has a revolver feel to it. It then resets nicely to a SA trigger which is similar to the P series guns but have a longer reset than the P series IMHO. For some people the length of the pull in the DA mode takes some getting used to. It is exceptionally clean just long.

They of course are 15+ 9mm capacity guns and Mecgar makes a nice 17 round extended mag as well. This makes the grip much larger than the P6. It comes with 2 grips a medium and a shot and most come with a short trigger installed. You can get a large grip from Sig for extra coin but most people seems to like the SM or MD.

They still have that high bore axis and looks like Sigs. You get a standard rail which many people like. The original Sig Pros had a propriety rail. The standard finish these days is Nitron like most other Sigs. Mags are not cheap but can be found for $30 in most areas or online. The 17+1 mags are about the same price.
