I wish they would do away with double/single action and allow a 1911 style thumb safety so it can be carried Locked and Cocked. Love the FNP Tactical cause it gives both options.
If you were to take a 45 ACP pistol into combat (lets say hostile conditions, dirt, sand, water, etc.) what pistol would you choose? (this is directed towards anyone with an opinion)
hey hickock, you know how you said you can put your hand more higher then the 229, well i think they raised the grip higher on later gens. ( i think i remember sig saying they did this on the p220 26 & 29 models ) the 229 i just bought a couple weeks ago seems like your hand is upper then my cousins old 229 was but then i haven't held it or any older sig in a long time so...
hickok45,,,you are the fuckin man,,,,These videos are awsome, and regardless of my knowledge of firearms, its not a normal day unless i come home from work and watch a review from you. you are a pistolero sir,,,awsome shot
Love that pistol, got quite an old one that was made in my hometown Eckernförde northern Germany. I'd be curious if there is a difference in quality between the german made and the american made ones, do you got any knowledge about that?
I wonder if it isn't for defensive reasons, where it's documented that so many people tend to shoot excessively high under stress? That and the rust resistance of some of the parts are the only things that get me.
I have an adjustable rear on my P226 and no matter how high I set that sight, I still have to hold with the front dot over the target and high by about 2-3" even at 15 yards.
I want to buy a Sig P220 as my first firearm for home protection and range use. Anybody have good recommendations online for buying one brand new for a good price?
I am new to shooting and just tried out the Sig 220 yesterday. It was the first .45 that Ive shot and I admit I probably had too tight of a grip on it at first but once I got a feel for it and relaxed I really enjoyed it. In all honesty, thus far Im partial to the HK USP .40 but no complaints on the Sig. Thanks for the video and keep up the great work.
A friend of mine gave me the opportunity to use his P220 for target practice. I've been mulling over a few candidates for my first pistol in .45 and since I can't seem to decide between the P220 and the Glock 21, I figure I'll get both :)
@hickok45 Ok I understand thanks for your answer ! So it's really about carrying a "ready to shoot" weapon... A question again... When you shoot that first round with a DA, is the round already in the chamber ? Or is it the action on the trigger that makes the round goes into the chamber just before being shot ?? Thanks !
@locknloadbitch All the double action does is allow the weapon to fire when decocked. There should already be a round in the chamber. If you don't have one in the chamber, pulling the trigger on DA only pulls the hammer back, not the slide, which is required to move in order to chamber a round.
Hi hickok45 ! I new to guns, and there's something I don't understand... Why is the Double action a problem since you can operate the gun as a simple action ??
@locknloadbitch, It's the fact that from the holster, the first two shots, arguably the most important shots one might ever fire, involved two different trigger pulls. That's about it. At the range, it doesn't matter that much.
@WeAreTwoDoorsDown Well most people carry it with the hammer down for safety, (thats the way the military does it i believe, and most law enforcement.
because alot of Da/Sa guns dont have safetys, so decocking the hammer is the safest way.
@hickok45 hey hickok45 i have a sig p220 classic and i have the combat night sights and i know that the night sights are designed for you to aim for the point of impact to be in the middle of the dot on the front sight instead of at the top of the white dot like you do with the regular sights like are on the sig p220 classic 22lr conversion when i shoot it seems like i am hitting low still sometimes please explain the proper way to use those sights for me i would really appreciate it
Love it. Have the compact elite myself, SA only. As far as DA/SA handguns, I thought it was just a design decision, but after being around more guys who carry, it seems like a marketing decision. While I (and others) prefer "cocked and locked" 1911 style carry, it makes a lot of people uncomfortable. Even guys who enjoy the 1911 are a little freaked when they see us carrying one "properly" . I suppose the DA option is a good way to break into their market share, eliminating the problem.
Mr. Hickok45, I understand that you are slightly biased towards Glocks. After all they do benefit from a higher grip to barrel ratio. However I humbly ask..."If" possible that you "review" (shoot) the USP .45 to compare controllability, comfort, and ultimate "gong" or "animal" accuracy compared to the G21 and the P220. Thank you.
My 226 .40 cal malfunctioned a few times, only with Winchester ammo, it will shoot Magtech and Federal ALL day no problems, but Winchester just gunks it up
the sig p220 carry elite dark does come with houge grips but they are custom houge aluminum grips not these after market houge rubber grips. another sweet video on an amazing firearm
Love this video. Just found out about Hickok45 a few weeks ago by browsing youtube. I had an Xdm 45 but didnt like the way the mags secured in the magazine well. Watched Hickok45 on this video and soon after went out and ordered a Sig p220 elite dark, no problems with rear sight comeing loose by the way. First shot at a beer bottle at 15yrds boom broken glass and so on. Great gun think its a long time keeper. Semper Fi America.
The SIG 220 is one of the greatest semi auto pistols available at any price.... Nothing like the sound of 45's clanging against those metal targets... Sounds like a fine symphony to me...
Have the grips improved for the 220? I bought one brand new in 1999 or 2000 and the gun was superb; the factory grips were smooth and slippery (hated them)...I had a 226 and it had nice sandpapery texture (stippling) but the 220 grips did not...
@Tellison37 I like Glocks, but the factory sights are less than ideal. Check out Warren Tactical sights (especially Sevigny competition), or Ameriglo plain black.
someone has proposed me a Sig Sauer P245, I had heard that is the minor brother of the 220, but i can't find anymore on this particular model, because where I live (Italy) there aren't many of them (someone says that is a gun for the Usa market?).
The price is about 450 €uro, what do you think about this gun?
Hickok, you forgot to mention that the Sig P220 Elite has a SRT (Short Reset Trigger). This trigger is unique it that it shortens the throw by 60%. Some love them (as I do) and some like the stock trigger. Usually if one has a regular trigger on a Sig and they buy a Sig with an SRT, they won't like the SRT because switching back and forth gives an inconsistent feel to the stock Sig trigger. Beyond the shortened throw the SRT has a very nice single action pull as you mentioned.
@joseguardado12 I raise the point because in the vid Hickok makes a point of how nice the DA/SA is on the P220. If one goes out and buys a stock P220 they won't feel the same as what Hickok is shooting. And I am calm:)
I always find it funny. Every time I am looking at getting a new firearm I go to your channel to see if you have a video on it, and most of the time it happens to be a video you recently posted....Its like you read my mind in advance or something...Simply Amazing. On a different note I remember you saying you were a teacher, are you a school teacher or a college professor? Just wondering. I would have loved to had a teacher like you. Have a good one. -Justin
did anybody notice at 0:35 the empty bullet jumping out of the gun and hitting hickock right on the head? i found it hilarious for some reason and starting laughing like a idiot infront of the screen. ok i'm done awesome videos man i wish u were my grandpa :)
Thank you Sir for featuring the fab sig P220. The DA/SA is something you just have to use to get it down pat. Mine just runs and runs and very accurate but not a six O'Clock hold like you prefer. The single action trigger is supper. DG
Hickok I have a question for you. I've never considered shooting a pistol at farther than 50yrds until watching your show. I've always just assumed that you would have to hold high at that distance, but you always say your using a 6 o' clock hold on the gong. Does that mean that the bullets shoot relatively flat at these yardages still and people miss long cause of being unsteady? I would love to see you do a video on long distance pistol shooting. If not can you explain the best you can?
Very nice videos and well done sir! I really liked yournew Kimber Desert Warrior video also. I would like to see one on the Sig 556 if you get the chance. I picked up a SWAT Classic in FDE and am really enjoying it so far! Happiness is a warm Sig
:-) Keep up the good work and keep those groups tight.
I've always know sigs are great, but I didn't really consider one for myself, until I went to Bass Pro Shop today and held one, and I gotta say it just feels amazing in my hand. I am definately considering one now, that is when I have enough money to get one.
I've been torn between one of these and an H&K USP 45... Maybe you could get a loaner USP 45 and do a comparative video, or a USP shoot/review? I enjoyed the 229 vs p30 video.
Man, I have to say I think that, Hickock has the best channel on you tube. He has the wonderfully cheesy acting. His logic, and common sense are sound! He put's out classy shooting video, and know's what he is doing, and a lot of you tuber's are down right crude, and show's just how little regard they have for human life. Good, nay great work sir! I wish more people had the frame of mind as you and I!
Re: the 229. On the 229 there is a bulge in the grip, just under where the slide release and de-cocker are. The 220 and 226 are more flat in that area. I think the bulge is to help spread the recoil of the snappy .40 cartridge across a wider surface area of your hand, thereby increasing comfort. The 229 was designed to shoot .40s I believe. Mine shoots pretty comfortably in 9mm, and I've not had a problem getting a fairly high grip on it. In conclusion, guns are great.
Fun video:) Thanks for covering the P220 Elite. I have several Sig Sauer pistols and I love them about as much as you love Glock's. Although I've never owned a Sig in 45ACP, because I like the traditional 1911's, right now I'm looking to buy another pistol in 45ACP. I've been thinking about a P220 with the beavertail, SRT and night sites. Your video has been very helpful in making up my mind. Sig makes a great pistol.
One of the most coincidental shots ever, or knowing hickok maybe even intentional @ 00:45 You shot the red bottle and the round went clean through and hit the steel target behind it!!!
Nice camera work! On the first gong shots you can actually see that big slow heavy slug in the air before it strikes and some after they flatten out and fall. .45ACP not flat shooting but gets it done. And I have an older P226 made in West Germany and will never part with it. I can hear the sadness in you voice Hickok45 when you said you sold yours :-(
Mr. Hickok, if you had your choice, and I know its a tough one, H&K P30 or sig 226? I have both a HK P2000 and Sig P239 and love both, so I guess I'll let you decide. LOL
Another enjoyable vid. That's a P220 Carry Elite (I carry the P220 Carry SAS), which has a 1/2" shorter barrel (and sight radius) than a standard P220. I own a few Glocks, but always wind up back with my Sigs as defense guns, unless I want to carry something a bit smaller like my G23 or G26. One can expect to shoot best with the gun they're most practiced with. Nice work, Hickok-much appreciated.
I think you go a long way in getting people to become more familiar and hopefully more comfortable with firearms in general. Might I even suggest you might have converted some of the non-shooters into new shooters.
your videos are ten times better than all the other gun reviewers and such ,your an awesome person and this gun is truely awesome it will be one of my first handguns when im old enough Thank You hickok45!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My 220 carry elite dark has the (relatively) new adjustable combat sights. Do you have much experience with this sig sight? I am not sure what to think of these big sights.
AIM POINT QUESTION: You speak about holding at 6 oClock on a taget. I dont understand, why dont youjust hold CENTER MASS on the target? Please fill me in on this please and its benefits.Im old school Army, aim CENTER MASS! Thanks Gregg.......Herb :)
@HerbWalker Some guns sights are set up to a 6 o'clock hold. You hold the part you want to hit (center mass) right on the tip top of the front sight post (putting the target "on a stick") and the bullets will hit center mass.
hello, just because at that range most weapons shoot differently from each other, some shoot a little high so you must use a 6o'clock hold and some shoot a little low (such as the sig in this video) so you must us a 12o'clock hold. hope this helps man.
The Coronado by La Flor is one of my favorite smokes! Why not have a stogie and do some shooting? That would be very macho! haha! Great video, Hickok!
Great video Mr H. And the Sig suits you. Sworn fan myself. I'd like to see you get your hands on an X5, which would settle the DA issue on the 229. Should be perfect for the gong too! Keep up the good work. You are much admired down under.

Thank you Sir for featuring the fab sig P220. The DA/SA is something you just have to use to get it down pat. Mine just runs and runs and very accurate but not a six O'Clock hold like you prefer. The single action trigger is supper. DG

Hickok I have a question for you. I've never considered shooting a pistol at farther than 50yrds until watching your show. I've always just assumed that you would have to hold high at that distance, but you always say your using a 6 o' clock hold on the gong. Does that mean that the bullets shoot relatively flat at these yardages still and people miss long cause of being unsteady? I would love to see you do a video on long distance pistol shooting. If not can you explain the best you can?

If you don't like the conventional double action trigger of the P220 (DA/SA), they also have a single action version of it as well.

Very nice videos and well done sir! I really liked yournew Kimber Desert Warrior video also. I would like to see one on the Sig 556 if you get the chance. I picked up a SWAT Classic in FDE and am really enjoying it so far! Happiness is a warm Sig

I've always know sigs are great, but I didn't really consider one for myself, until I went to Bass Pro Shop today and held one, and I gotta say it just feels amazing in my hand. I am definately considering one now, that is when I have enough money to get one.

I've been torn between one of these and an H&K USP 45... Maybe you could get a loaner USP 45 and do a comparative video, or a USP shoot/review? I enjoyed the 229 vs p30 video.

Man, I have to say I think that, Hickock has the best channel on you tube. He has the wonderfully cheesy acting. His logic, and common sense are sound! He put's out classy shooting video, and know's what he is doing, and a lot of you tuber's are down right crude, and show's just how little regard they have for human life. Good, nay great work sir! I wish more people had the frame of mind as you and I!

Re: the 229. On the 229 there is a bulge in the grip, just under where the slide release and de-cocker are. The 220 and 226 are more flat in that area. I think the bulge is to help spread the recoil of the snappy .40 cartridge across a wider surface area of your hand, thereby increasing comfort. The 229 was designed to shoot .40s I believe. Mine shoots pretty comfortably in 9mm, and I've not had a problem getting a fairly high grip on it. In conclusion, guns are great.

Fun video:) Thanks for covering the P220 Elite. I have several Sig Sauer pistols and I love them about as much as you love Glock's. Although I've never owned a Sig in 45ACP, because I like the traditional 1911's, right now I'm looking to buy another pistol in 45ACP. I've been thinking about a P220 with the beavertail, SRT and night sites. Your video has been very helpful in making up my mind. Sig makes a great pistol.
legalsolutions07 5 months ago
One of the most coincidental shots ever, or knowing hickok maybe even intentional @ 00:45 You shot the red bottle and the round went clean through and hit the steel target behind it!!!

basterd091 5 months ago
Nice camera work! On the first gong shots you can actually see that big slow heavy slug in the air before it strikes and some after they flatten out and fall. .45ACP not flat shooting but gets it done. And I have an older P226 made in West Germany and will never part with it. I can hear the sadness in you voice Hickok45 when you said you sold yours :-(

Mr. Hickok, if you had your choice, and I know its a tough one, H&K P30 or sig 226? I have both a HK P2000 and Sig P239 and love both, so I guess I'll let you decide. LOL

Another enjoyable vid. That's a P220 Carry Elite (I carry the P220 Carry SAS), which has a 1/2" shorter barrel (and sight radius) than a standard P220. I own a few Glocks, but always wind up back with my Sigs as defense guns, unless I want to carry something a bit smaller like my G23 or G26. One can expect to shoot best with the gun they're most practiced with. Nice work, Hickok-much appreciated.

YOU ROCK Hickok45!
I wish I had a private home range.
You are a great firearms educator.
I think you go a long way in getting people to become more familiar and hopefully more comfortable with firearms in general. Might I even suggest you might have converted some of the non-shooters into new shooters.
Thanks for all the hard work.

AIM POINT QUESTION: You speak about holding at 6 oClock on a taget. I dont understand, why dont youjust hold CENTER MASS on the target? Please fill me in on this please and its benefits.Im old school Army, aim CENTER MASS! Thanks Gregg.......Herb :)
HerbWalker 5 months ago
@HerbWalker Some guns sights are set up to a 6 o'clock hold. You hold the part you want to hit (center mass) right on the tip top of the front sight post (putting the target "on a stick") and the bullets will hit center mass.
Speedogg138 5 months ago
@HerbWalker
hello, just because at that range most weapons shoot differently from each other, some shoot a little high so you must use a 6o'clock hold and some shoot a little low (such as the sig in this video) so you must us a 12o'clock hold. hope this helps man.
