Is the P220 in 9mm or .45 ACP?
Either way you either have 2 or 3 calibers which means you have a loooong way to go. You definitely need some .22's. I have more guns chambered in .22 than any other caliber (semi-auto, revolvers, and rifles).
A 1911 would be a great addition too. Everyone should have one. The 1911 platform will be 100 years old next year and it's still going strong. You can get a Phillipine-made, base model for $400. Or you can spends thousands and thousands on custom builds. And in between there are more manufacturers than you can shake a stick at. I have several - the trigger will hook you for sure!
Everyone ought to have at least one snub-nose too. They can be a lot more difficult to shoot but the practice makes you a better shot on full size guns too. Whatever you do, though, don't buy a scandium frame snubby that weighs 12 ounces and load it up with buffalo bore on your first range trip. You'll sell the gun for sure.
.44 Magnum is a lot of fun. It sure helps to be a reloader though!
In the same vein as snubbies you could look at pocket pistols in .32 ACP or .380 ACP. .32 isn't bad at all to shoot. .380 can be a handful. I think I worked harder at shooting .380 accurately than I did .357 Magnum in a stainless steel snub-nose.
The sky's pretty much the limit from where you're sitting so have fun.
