In the general handgun forum I'd been discussing trigger finger reach issues, specifically with regard to Sig semi-autos. Turns out the P220 will work for me although installation of a short trigger and thin grip panels will be necessary to optimize things.
This after handling a P220 Combat. As an aside the only other 45acp Sig that will fit my hand/trigger finger is the P250 which would also need to be tweaked.
My interests were with the P220 Carry pistols and their 8x capacity. The dealer did have a used German made P245 which looked to have been carried more than shot. The internals looked great but the external finish showed evidence of kydex holster wear. The P245 is a 6x pistol which is less than I would like; still... The staff called Sig for me and were told that they thought a short trigger could be installed in this older piece ($75 round trip for the part and installation). The serial number was C005xxx and came with two magazines for $499.
Question: Is a German made P245in the condition described a decent deal for $499 + sales tax? Anyone have experience with a short trigger in this model?
Thanks!
