The P220 is known in law enforcement circles for being reliable but not exactly durable (at least compared to other Sigs), whereas the P226 is easily a 60,000-round or more platform.

I say that as someone who owns a West German P220 and a P220ST, so I'm not harshing on the P220. It is what it is.

How so? I have heard just the opposite.

Which is better, chocolate or vanilla? Porsche or Ferrari?

To paraphrase Clinton "it depends on what the definition of better is", don't you think?

They are basically the same gun, just designed to support different ammo and cartridge capacities.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought this.

I dont know which one but my P228 is one heck of a gun. One of the best 9mm pistols ever built by any manufacturer. I will never understand why they quit manufacturing it for American sale as it was maybe the most balanced SIG ever designed.
