Matthew Caughey mate I have 1 question for you what amount of money are you willing to pay for the reliability to protect the life of yourself and your loved ones I don't give a shit how much I have to pay for my gun so long as I know it's gonna work and work well when I need it vs worrying if I'm gonna die when I pull my gun because it jams It doesn't matter if your scarred to lose it cause no matter how you look at it loosing it is a lot better than pulling it and it fucking up
@@SeikiBrian And it's lose not loose, which is besides the point. He is correct though, the Army would make you put a lanyard on your M9 so you didn't lose it
I own this same gun in black and had it for 4yrs and it has performed flawlessly I've shot hundreds of rounds through the gun including cheap Russian ammo it shoots any and everything this is a excellent gun. Nice review really like the gun in the review also looks nice.
This was the first pistol I ever purchased. I purchased it about 7 years ago and had to sell it in hard times about 5 years ago. I went to Academy to look at pistols and when I looked at the SP2022 I was like WOW a Sig for $399. on sale. I knew that Sig made quality firearms and I liked the look and the double to single action with decocker. So I bought it. I loved that gun. I put about 3500 to 4000 rounds through it and it still fired like new. Now that money isn't tight, I went and bought one this past weekend at Academy. I was expecting the gun in a card board box with only one mag like Academy was selling for the longest time. But it came in a nice plastic case with two mags, small and medium grip and a holster for $429. Went and shot it the same day, and it was exactly how I remember the first one shooting. Dead on, and reliable. I put 400 rounds through it that day and plan on shooting again this weekend. You can't go wrong with this gun.
SP2022 was my first handgun. Traded up to a P226 months after, but the 2022 is no chump. I had zero problems with it and it was a comfortable gun to shoot and carry. I paid $400 for it brand new, and sold it for that same price about 8 months later. Far as I'm concerned, its a great gun to start with, and gets you accustomed to DA/SA and polymer at the same time. Now I carry a polymer striker-fired Walther PPS, but love the P226 for everything but carrying. I owe my educated opinion of what to use - and when - to the SP2022 - which really combined both worlds beautifully.
I just bought my first handgun yesterday. It was a 9mm SP 2022. I've been looking for people who look like us handling this. Happy I found you brother.
My first gun was an LE trade in SP2022 chambered in .40. I carried it concealed IWB. It was an excellent first piece, shot anything, never failed. I shot about 1000 the first couple of months without issue. I posted a video comparing it to a few other Sigs (p224, p229, p226). On the forums, some people say don't bother because you'll eventually trade it for a p229 and eventually trade that for a p226. I jumped the "gun" and bought a p226. The SP 2022 just fit better in my hand, making it more enjoyable to shoot. I gifted it to my cousin as his first gun as he's entering the US Army. My EDC now is the p229/p224. You're going to have people trash talk guns without even owning or firing one. This piece as Colin eluded, makes you appreciate the DA/SA hammer configuration. I'm not a striker fired fan - nothing against them - however, I owe it to this piece when starting out for the love of Sig and DA/SA firearms.
I love my 2022. It has been ultra reliable, has wonderful features and is as accurate as any sig I have shot. I am a large framed person and am easily able to carry it daily in an Alien Gear IWB holster with no comfort or printing issues. It is nice to see it reviewed like this as it is often ignored by the mainstream firearms media.
@@kiprattxxx Yeah and the sig trig is also a normal smooth & curved nitride stainless steel deal as opposed to pretty much everyone else who is mass producing combat accurate pistols these days with a polymer fandangle, plus the sig pro's usually retail anywhere from $20 up to $150 less than a brand new Beretta M92FS or Glock 19 for example. I have a standard nitron black SP2022 with contrast sights that's made in Newington, NH. I would love to have another to compliment it in flat dark earth with SiGLiT3 tritium night sights that's made in Exeter, NH (if I could afford it) & a Double-Holstered Mitch Rosen Cuben Brown Leather Stylemaster Express Shoulder Rig to match (also made in NH btw) & then for the traditional price of one hammer-fired SiGARM I'd have two that can then be dual-wielded & can be slide/frame switched anytime to make 2 unique two-tone modern, sleek & very, very professional sig pro's.
My first gun was a glock 19. My first love...and I traded it for a sig 320. I always missed my glock until I bought a sig 2022. Fell in love again. This is a great gun...My edc gun! Great video...#pewpewlife
So glad to see this here! I've had my SP2022 for almost 2 years, and it's been my EDC since day one. A buddy of mine almost converted from carrying a Glock 22 after experiencing my SP2022.
One of your better videos on probably the best kept secrets in the Sig lineup. The quality of this video with it's occasional slow motion and a lot of shooting with voice over make for one truly enjoyable to watch videos. Well done.
Just bought one today! I just turned 21, and I've had several Airsoft versions of this gun in my adolescence that were just amazing.. They fit my hand like a glove, and aiming was practically telepathic. It's the same with the real steel. After all of the paperwork was done, I put a box of the generic ball point ammo the range was selling through it, and I cut a 4x1 inch diagonal swathe through the target at about 15 feet. I definitely need some practice, but I'm damn proud to call this weapon my first handgun.
Owned a Glock. 2 Glocks. And if I still had them, I'd trade them straight up for my 2022. Way more fun. But I'm a big fan of hammer fired DA/SA pistols. That's just my opinion. I don't like Glocks.
Praise worthy, for $70!The only issue was the round gasket ring seal between the CO2 and needle th-cam.com/users/postUgkxnX9wE_Q8zvF75Y5iWzTU3Q4FlrtyGApQ . Withered away, and I'm having a tough time finding a replacement.Gun still works perfectly, but needs a new gasket. Can someone please say where to find the gasket replacement?
This pistol was my first 9mm & my first SIG. It’s size & my short stature precludes EDC; however, it’s NEVER failed to send a round downrange when I squeezed the trigger & it’s my home defense pistol of choice to this day. It even survived heavy smoke/water/debris damage when my house was destroyed by a wildfire. Added a Viridian light & laser. Not fancy, but $$$ well spent. ZERO regrets.
I hope you read this I love your videos!!!! the way you edit, present, and conduct the guns and issues in a fun and intelligent way! And not to mention the good tunes in the back I constantly find myself singing along to the instrumentals, keep up the awesome work!
I have an SP2022 in .40 that I bought for $300 last year from my favorite pawn shop. I just ordered a .357 Sig barrel for it, so now I have two guns in one weapon system. Your review is on point, and I feel it fits my hand better than a Glock.
Exactly Colin, I use the SP2022 Tac Pac on a daily Basis and have used in deployment for PCS. This is a great value and now after 5000rds and no issues with deployment and use, this is a great Sig for the money. What you just said I've been saying for years. Buy it, Train with it, Sig has your back.
I have one of these in .40 S&W, bought it when they first discontinued their importation back around 2009. My first semi-auto and I do LOVE SIGs because of my positive experiences with it!!
Got this as a christmas gift this year from my father. It's not replacing my canik as my go to cc, but I love it enough to rotate with my sr 1911 as a night stand gun. It's a good shooter, and as a Sig fan, I definitely appreciate being gifted a hidden gem like the SP2022.
+Colion Noir Yes you do, sir. lol But we still love you anyway. BTW Low or high, the SP2022 is a great shooting gun. And it's one I can get back on target for a second and third shot pretty quickly. I bought one second hand on a whim. But dang, I love it. It is now my favorite gun.
After carrying (including concealed) a duty-size Sig P226 purchased in 1987 and made in West Germany, I decided a few years ago that at my advancing age a DA/SA provided an extra layer of complexity for run-and-gun drills (like jumping out of a truck, heading for cover, and then wondering if I'd dropped the hammer). Sig was just beginning to advertise its P250 and I fell in love with the concept. I bought a compact in 9mm and fell in love with the gun and its potential as a "system". I now have two fire control modules (the actual serialized gun) with grip modules for compact and subcompact for each and chambered for 9mm and .40, with plenty of mags. Living in the northeast, I have flexibility for CCW in both calibers depending on season, and in a SHTF or ammo scarcity situation, I can fire the most widely available rounds. I've thought about adding a barrel for .357 Sig, but have decided against it. Although I bought my first Sig in Florida, I now live within an easy drive of Sig's manufacturing facility and its outstanding training academy.
I acquired one of these in .40 caliber recently. I originally wanted a 250, but I can't believe this gun is so widely underappreciated. It fits my small hands really well and it hasn't failed on me so far. (though it's still new, so we'll see)
I just bought a Sig 2022 and I really feel like I made a good choice. A lot of the criticism seems more like personal preference than anything. I think a lot of people in the gun world like to compare to the higher end or Glocks in general. I understand that the reviews are coming from experienced gun owners and its appreciated but I bought one cause I am still a novice and it hits all the bells for me. Sure the trigger has a little slack in it but I am not looking for the perfect or greatest gun on the planet for the money I was spending but for the money, and for someone still learning guns and new to it all, its fantastic. My shooting experience is mainly home defense and recreational and im not looking to be the greatest shooter ever but I wanna be decent and pretty good at least. Although, maybe a 3 gun might be fun one day
Sooo True! Sig never lets you down I have a P220 45 feels the same shoots the same fits like a glove add your your tack light and you are ready to rock.
I own a P320 and love it. I carried a P220 for 2 decades as a duty weapon and i was quite competent with it. My EDC of choice though, is a CZ P07 and it comes w/ 2 mags, an extremely ergonomic grip and lower bore axis. The trigger is nice too .
I have been on the debate over getting the CZ P07 and the Sig sp 2022. They both seem great. I;m left handed and the ambidextrous features on the CZ really turn me on though lol
FunkySpunky91 The P-07 has better grip and a better trigger. I really liked the 2022, but I've found that CZ makes excellent guns at better prices than most Sigs. The full size P-09 was the least recoil polymer pistol I've ever shot.
DarkFilmDirector Yeah I totally get ya. I actually went with the Sig sp 2022 instead as I found a great deal on it. I would like to get a P- 07 hopefully either for my next one lol. (I also have my eyes on a FN FNX 45 lol.) I have noticed that the P-09 seems to be cheaper as well, which also might help me decide.
The Sig P2022 was originally the Sig pro in the early 90's, it's available in 9mm and 40 S&W . It comes in black nitrate and in flat dark earth as well as two tone stainless. Mec-gar also makes mags for them for around $25 to 30 and at a higher capacity. Anytime you're buying a Sig Mec-gar is the one who makes the mags for them.
I thought same, but I’m sure they making a killing off of them with foreign military/police sales. I know they sell well in our area now with the pandemic, since other guns are getting hard to find.
I actually enjoyed watching your review. Most reviews are dry and boring. Nice work! I appreciate how much you show the firearm shooting while you provide the review. Again, great job
Sig Pro 2022 or its initial models the 2009 and 2340 models from the early 2000's are much better looking than Glocks and with better ergonomics and just as accurate and reliable. I have shot many Glocks and have nothing negative to say about them (except that they look like a brick) but I prefer the Sig Pro in 40SW and In fact I shoot it more often than my P226.
Sig sp2022 is the Porsche boxster yeah it's a Porsche but it's the cheap one. Won't it suck? Hell no it rocks ppl need to wake up. I can honestly say I was an early adopter of this gun 9 1st then the .40 both kick ass
Gotta love a SIG! Any SIG! I've got seven of them, and love every one! Don't have a SP2022 but I do have a P228 and P239 in 9mm. I've fired the 2022 and found it to be a great pistol, but there was no advantage over my P228. Don't and won't own a Glock BTW. Just don't care for them. Good guns but just not my cup of tea. All my striker guns are Rugers.
dude, I have seen you pop up all over the Internet (TH-cam, Instagram) including crossovers with some other TH-camr that I followed. but I must admit that I never watched one of your videos until today.....on a gun that I'm not even really excited about getting, but I'm getting it in a trade. but your video was beautifully shot and produced and was very reminiscent of the tech vlogs that I love so much. great job all the way around, and you just earned a new subscriber. and you got me thinking about cerakoting my new sp2022 FDE
It is better than a Glock, cheaper, looks like a pistol, should look (instead of a brick), very accurate, more ergonomic and IT IS A SIG, NOT A GLOCK!!!
You are CRAZYYYY! The SP2022 makes a Glock feel like a cheap toy! This is coming from a Glock fan. I have 5 different models. Me and my buddy were shooting at the range just the other day, the Sig SP2022 40 cal and my Glock 22. (Both guns stock besides a laser in the Glock) The Sig felt like it was a Cadillac compared to a lowered hoopty! The Glock felt like a cheap, uncomfortable, toy in your hand. We were both blown away at how much better the sig felt and shot! The only way the Glock 22 shined was because of the guide rod laser making you deadly accurate. No one in their right mind would shoot these two guns back to back and choose the Glock! That's laughable and just being a fan boy! Not even comparable!
nice flex. ill give it a ehhhhh 5, well how about 6. just cus ur right about about the feel i'm 12 so i have small hand's and it's very hard to get a good grip on my 17 even without a back strap ,but i wouldnt go around flexing on people with a few glock's a word from the wise is sufficient
I own a 2022 , and I 'm in love with it .I also have a Glock 19 -- I love it also I guess I' am a playa No really I have to agree with you .In all fairness the one one GlockI never cared for was the mod. 22.
Your first gun was the SR40 and mine is the SR9C. i would love if you did a comparison on the sr9c vs sr40c....plus just to see what you have to say on your first gun
Anthony Marbury I don't think Colion would do a comparison review of the same two guns just in different calibers. They're going to feel the same, just have different recoil and capacity. It would just be another caliber debate video, which Colion has already stated his current preference of 9mm.
First gun, yes... Gun for "everything", no... It's heavy, bulky, cheap trigger system feel. Do you like the idea of a decocker/hammer fire system? Do you want to carry the firearm alot? The finish wears fast (black color) and will look bad if you shoot and carry alot. For close to what you are going to pay for this gun, there are ALOT of options. Try out as many different styles and sizes to find your preference. It's all about what you expect and find comfortable
I don't get why some people are so hung up on cost... People waste money on the dumbest things but won't spend more than $500 on a pistol. Sig makes a great pistol, the p226 is one of my favorites and I've shot much more expensive guns.
I recently bought one in 9mm. I cut just under two coils off the hammer spring. It now matches the pull of my stock 229, in single action mode. I guess sig went with a heavier stock pull, due to this being a military contract pistol. My previously excellent groups tightened even more, after this change. I also added a black steel guide rod. Thats it. It absolutely rocks. I have over 500 rnds through mine with no malfunctions. I am going to purchase a second in the FDE version soon. Cheers.
I am a HUGE fan of this handgun. It's my back up to me P226 only lighter. Fits in an EDC bag nicely and doesn't make it feel like you're trucking around an anvil.
Don't forget to support 2A this election. We need to check Hillary if she wins, vote for candidates in senate and house that support 2A as we well as local elections. Very important!
outside of the AR15's, AK's, Glocks, and 1911's of the gun world, there aren't many accessories out there for must guns besides "universal" ones like flashlights and kydex
J.C. Brown Mags are readily available, even 17 rounders, different grips and parts too. www.topgunsupply.com I added SRT triggers and smaller grips to all of mine. Bought up bunches of 10 rnd mags for cheap here at gun shows to use for IDPA and range practice. www.cdnnsports.com/magazines/2022-pro-9mm-17rd-anti.html#.VOiWbfnF9UU
Excellent job on this video. Great presentation. Please keep up the good work. I recently purchased a .40cal hopefully I'll be able to go to the range after this C mess.
James Franco bore axis is actually a lot shorter than you think. However their slide height is high. In the land of auto pistols there is a serious issue of variables to consider. To be honest, it is a really interesting combination variable problem. In short, MMMMAAAAATTTTTHHHHHH matters.
SP2022 vs Glock is total apples & oranges. If you like a hammer, like I do, the SP2022 is a great bang for the buck. As nice as a 226? No way, but still a great pistol.
I agree I have a stock Glock 22 and I like my sig a litttle more. My m&p with full flat faced apex trigger out shoot it but hey it has a mod stock m&p ehh I’d rather have the 2022 and I got mine new for 400$flat plus decock the sumbitch and I throw it under my pillow I don’t trust my Glock or m$p under the pillow
Hi Colion, I know I'm very slow to watch this, but I'm 64 yrs old and just getting into firearms. Just call me a slow learner. Thanks for this review of my front runner to purchase as my first pistol. I'm stuck in California and this firearm is to me the cream of the crop of what is still available here. Again ... thank you for what you do, cheers!!
New to the Tube, or are you actually asking? I'm just wondering because you'd have a very hard time not finding a video with out at least one comment claiming first. It's been a thing for years now. Although for what purpose few know.
My first gun was a Ruger SR40 as well. That was the pistol that started my love affair with badass firepower. I sold it 3 years ago when I bought my first Glock and haven't looked back. I love your reviews. Keep them coming please.
I have many Sig Sauer Pistols, the P226 and the SP2022 are the only models I have in all available calibers. I absolutely love this gun and it's one of my three main carry guns in the 9mm. Very good video bro!
This was my first pistol ever.. Unfortunately i lost it in the river on a boating accident. I miss it dearly, truly a bargain.
Matthew Caughey mate I have 1 question for you what amount of money are you willing to pay for the reliability to protect the life of yourself and your loved ones I don't give a shit how much I have to pay for my gun so long as I know it's gonna work and work well when I need it vs worrying if I'm gonna die when I pull my gun because it jams

It has a relatively high bore axis compared to most pistols. You mistakenly said it has a low bore axis. Now worries though, great video!

+Colion Noir Yes you do, sir. lol But we still love you anyway. BTW Low or high, the SP2022 is a great shooting gun. And it's one I can get back on target for a second and third shot pretty quickly. I bought one second hand on a whim. But dang, I love it. It is now my favorite gun.
IT'S CALLED SARCASM
After carrying (including concealed) a duty-size Sig P226 purchased in 1987 and made in West Germany, I decided a few years ago that at my advancing age a DA/SA provided an extra layer of complexity for run-and-gun drills (like jumping out of a truck, heading for cover, and then wondering if I'd dropped the hammer). Sig was just beginning to advertise its P250 and I fell in love with the concept. I bought a compact in 9mm and fell in love with the gun and its potential as a "system". I now have two fire control modules (the actual serialized gun) with grip modules for compact and subcompact for each and chambered for 9mm and .40, with plenty of mags. Living in the northeast, I have flexibility for CCW in both calibers depending on season, and in a SHTF or ammo scarcity situation, I can fire the most widely available rounds. I've thought about adding a barrel for .357 Sig, but have decided against it. Although I bought my first Sig in Florida, I now live within an easy drive of Sig's manufacturing facility and its outstanding training academy.
I Am Absolutely in love with my Sig Pro SP2022... Quality leave me no complaints✔
I acquired one of these in .40 caliber recently. I originally wanted a 250, but I can't believe this gun is so widely underappreciated. It fits my small hands really well and it hasn't failed on me so far. (though it's still new, so we'll see)
Worst mistake I made was selling mine.. As soon as I can I will be getting one back.
An intelligent and thought out review I wish more gun channels on TH-cam were this well written. A++!
i just recently got mine for an upgrade from my tarts millennium pro pt111 and i am already in love. thANK YOU FOR GIVING THIS GUN A GREAT REVIEW
I just bought a Sig 2022 and I really feel like I made a good choice. A lot of the criticism seems more like personal preference than anything. I think a lot of people in the gun world like to compare to the higher end or Glocks in general. I understand that the reviews are coming from experienced gun owners and its appreciated but I bought one cause I am still a novice and it hits all the bells for me. Sure the trigger has a little slack in it but I am not looking for the perfect or greatest gun on the planet for the money I was spending but for the money, and for someone still learning guns and new to it all, its fantastic. My shooting experience is mainly home defense and recreational and im not looking to be the greatest shooter ever but I wanna be decent and pretty good at least. Although, maybe a 3 gun might be fun one day
good review but don't agree with the part that this gun is not better than a glock. for me i'll take sp2022 anytime over any glocks.
Plus glocks are ugly
@@IHateMilkbruh you mean XDs
@@supercarnitas nah pretty sure we were talking about glocks. Not sure where you got springfield from
@@IHateMilkbruh Damn son you pulled one on him. XDs definitely dont look ugly. He probably hasnt seen a hipoint.
Sooo True! Sig never lets you down I have a P220 45 feels the same shoots the same fits like a glove add your your tack light and you are ready to rock.
I completely agree. I have several sig's and I always find myself coming back to the 2022. Great gun, perfect size , smooth trigger
I gave a like because you used Tyrone Biggums
I own a P320 and love it. I carried a P220 for 2 decades as a duty weapon and i was quite competent with it. My EDC of choice though, is a CZ P07 and it comes w/ 2 mags, an extremely ergonomic grip and lower bore axis. The trigger is nice too .
I have been on the debate over getting the CZ P07 and the Sig sp 2022. They both seem great. I;m left handed and the ambidextrous features on the CZ really turn me on though lol
FunkySpunky91 The P-07 has better grip and a better trigger. I really liked the 2022, but I've found that CZ makes excellent guns at better prices than most Sigs. The full size P-09 was the least recoil polymer pistol I've ever shot.
DarkFilmDirector Yeah I totally get ya. I actually went with the Sig sp 2022 instead as I found a great deal on it. I would like to get a P- 07 hopefully either for my next one lol. (I also have my eyes on a FN FNX 45 lol.) I have noticed that the P-09 seems to be cheaper as well, which also might help me decide.
I’m rewatching this video in 2023 and crying over the gun prices
The Sig P2022 was originally the Sig pro in the early 90's, it's available in 9mm and 40 S&W . It comes in black nitrate and in flat dark earth as well as two tone stainless. Mec-gar also makes mags for them for around $25 to 30 and at a higher capacity. Anytime you're buying a Sig Mec-gar is the one who makes the mags for them.
This video was the sole reason I bought this gun. Never knew existed before watching, but fastforward almost a year, it's now my first gun :D
FlyDangerous same issue here, I bought the same FDE SP2022 just 3 days after watching this video. great gun
sp2022 is one badass pistol"🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
SP2022 was my first handgun. I've run thousands of rounds through it and have never had a hiccup. Solid gun for the price!
Finally someone that gets down to the business. I've been cycling through videos with 10 minutes intros
Criminally underrated gun. I worry Sig is going to discontinue it any minute now though.
I thought same, but I’m sure they making a killing off of them with foreign military/police sales. I know they sell well in our area now with the pandemic, since other guns are getting hard to find.
I’d hope it’ll at least last until 2022 when their contract with france ends
@@thatonehead Send out the SP2022 in 2022. You can't make this shit up.
F
They won't. It's on the approved list in California. They'll keep making them just to sell there.
@@dylanguadalupe2558 Whatever it takes to keep them in production. The guns are not perfect, but they are still excellent.
This gun is $549.99 at academy right now lol
Well done. Excellent commentary, skills and pacing. Clear, concise and thoughtful.
Thanks.
I actually enjoyed watching your review. Most reviews are dry and boring. Nice work! I appreciate how much you show the firearm shooting while you provide the review. Again, great job
You can make a Hi-Point sound like a Bugatti!
Sig Pro 2022 or its initial models the 2009 and 2340 models from the early 2000's are much better looking than Glocks and with better ergonomics and just as accurate and reliable. I have shot many Glocks and have nothing negative to say about them (except that they look like a brick) but I prefer the Sig Pro in 40SW and In fact I shoot it more often than my P226.
My LGS has one in stock. The slide is like butter it's so smooth to actuate.
It’s a Sig. It goes Boom. It’s perfect! Only range queens complain about it!
the last sentence made cringe "...made out of the same material your mother places leftovers in"
Sig sp2022 is the Porsche boxster yeah it's a Porsche but it's the cheap one. Won't it suck? Hell no it rocks ppl need to wake up. I can honestly say I was an early adopter of this gun 9 1st then the .40 both kick ass
moneyCarsGuns good analogy
+moneyCarsGuns Come on man at least call it a Cayman. Boxster is and always will be a chick car lol
right lol
This was my first pistol. Absolutely love it. Will never get rid of it.
Agree with everything you point out. Glad to see a video bringing some well-deserved attention back to this pistol.
Oh snap yo!!!!!!!!! Tyrone Biggums cameo!!!! Bwahahahaha
Gotta love a SIG! Any SIG! I've got seven of them, and love every one! Don't have a SP2022 but I do have a P228 and P239 in 9mm. I've fired the 2022 and found it to be a great pistol, but there was no advantage over my P228. Don't and won't own a Glock BTW. Just don't care for them. Good guns but just not my cup of tea. All my striker guns are Rugers.
Very well researched and presented. Thank you for the information. Great video!
dude, I have seen you pop up all over the Internet (TH-cam, Instagram) including crossovers with some other TH-camr that I followed. but I must admit that I never watched one of your videos until today.....on a gun that I'm not even really excited about getting, but I'm getting it in a trade. but your video was beautifully shot and produced and was very reminiscent of the tech vlogs that I love so much. great job all the way around, and you just earned a new subscriber. and you got me thinking about cerakoting my new sp2022 FDE
It is better than a Glock, cheaper, looks like a pistol, should look (instead of a brick), very accurate, more ergonomic and IT IS A SIG, NOT A GLOCK!!!
Agreed 💯 👍
Colion noir, do you still feel the same about the 2022
When I first started working for academy I was watching your videos great information!!!! Keep up the great work!
I've had mine for 4 years with zero issues or complaints. This video made my mind up on it, next is the P229 Legion.
You are CRAZYYYY! The SP2022 makes a Glock feel like a cheap toy! This is coming from a Glock fan. I have 5 different models. Me and my buddy were shooting at the range just the other day, the Sig SP2022 40 cal and my Glock 22. (Both guns stock besides a laser in the Glock) The Sig felt like it was a Cadillac compared to a lowered hoopty! The Glock felt like a cheap, uncomfortable, toy in your hand. We were both blown away at how much better the sig felt and shot! The only way the Glock 22 shined was because of the guide rod laser making you deadly accurate. No one in their right mind would shoot these two guns back to back and choose the Glock! That's laughable and just being a fan boy! Not even comparable!
nice flex. ill give it a ehhhhh 5, well how about 6. just cus ur right about about the feel i'm 12 so i have small hand's and it's very hard to get a good grip on my 17 even without a back strap ,but i wouldnt go around flexing on people with a few glock's
a word from the wise is sufficient
I own a 2022 , and I 'm in love with it .I also have a Glock 19 -- I love it also I guess I' am a playa No really I have to agree with you .In all fairness the one one GlockI never cared for was the mod. 22.
Your first gun was the SR40 and mine is the SR9C. i would love if you did a comparison on the sr9c vs sr40c....plus just to see what you have to say on your first gun
II have both. The 40 was my first handgun and the 9c wasn't far behind. Both have run flawlessly for me and I shoot both of them about the same.
JunkfoodZombie i own the 9c but have a shot both. There almost perfect guns and would love to hear what colion has to say
Anthony Marbury I don't think Colion would do a comparison review of the same two guns just in different calibers. They're going to feel the same, just have different recoil and capacity. It would just be another caliber debate video, which Colion has already stated his current preference of 9mm.
Best value in the Sig Sauer product line. Thanks for the video and hopefully getting some people to show the 2022 some love
3:50 ..freaking smoking that steel!
I've been thinking about investing in a Sig for my first handgun. Would the SP2022 be a good choice?
Yes it would. For me it was better than the glock 19. Wish Sig would make a concealable version of the sp2022.
226 bro
First gun, yes... Gun for "everything", no... It's heavy, bulky, cheap trigger system feel.
Do you like the idea of a decocker/hammer fire system? Do you want to carry the firearm alot? The finish wears fast (black color) and will look bad if you shoot and carry alot. For close to what you are going to pay for this gun, there are ALOT of options. Try out as many different styles and sizes to find your preference. It's all about what you expect and find comfortable
^^ exactly I agree
Love mine. No regrets
I don't get why some people are so hung up on cost... People waste money on the dumbest things but won't spend more than $500 on a pistol. Sig makes a great pistol, the p226 is one of my favorites and I've shot much more expensive guns.
Tobias Forge some of us are poor
A great review,You’re a very good speaker,clear and concise!And a decent shooter too!
im getting this for my 1st ccw handgun and 1st handgun period...btw i peeped the Childish Gambino beat lol good rapper...
+Davon Corrie What song is it?
+MPOW3R Sober by Childish Gambino
What pants are those you're wearing?
I recently bought one in 9mm. I cut just under two coils off the hammer spring. It now matches the pull of my stock 229, in single action mode. I guess sig went with a heavier stock pull, due to this being a military contract pistol. My previously excellent groups tightened even more, after this change. I also added a black steel guide rod. Thats it. It absolutely rocks. I have over 500 rnds through mine with no malfunctions. I am going to purchase a second in the FDE version soon. Cheers.
Excellent demo and review, sir.

@@buffalowick8003 wat
I am a HUGE fan of this handgun. It's my back up to me P226 only lighter. Fits in an EDC bag nicely and doesn't make it feel like you're trucking around an anvil.
Bought mine years ago... Love it. Runs just as well as my HKs, and Glocks...
would you say it shoots as flat*. as a glock ?
Don't forget to support 2A this election. We need to check Hillary if she wins, vote for candidates in senate and house that support 2A as we well as local elections. Very important!
Only issue is that nobody makes aftermarket accessories for it.
outside of the AR15's, AK's, Glocks, and 1911's of the gun world, there aren't many accessories out there for must guns besides "universal" ones like flashlights and kydex
Mecgar increased cap magazine, steel guide rods, threaded barrel - what else do you want?
In good part because it's a relatively new gun to market.
J.C. Brown I second that statement, bought mine in 2004. It is my first gun and still my favorite, just wish it had the pic rail of the 2022.
J.C. Brown Mags are readily available, even 17 rounders, different grips and parts too. www.topgunsupply.com I added SRT triggers and smaller grips to all of mine. Bought up bunches of 10 rnd mags for cheap here at gun shows to use for IDPA and range practice. www.cdnnsports.com/magazines/2022-pro-9mm-17rd-anti.html#.VOiWbfnF9UU
Love your reviews! keep them coming!
Excellent job on this video. Great presentation. Please keep up the good work. I recently purchased a .40cal hopefully I'll be able to go to the range after this C mess.
Dude you keep saying sigs have low bore axis! No they don't it's the exact opposite!
James Franco bore axis is actually a lot shorter than you think. However their slide height is high. In the land of auto pistols there is a serious issue of variables to consider. To be honest, it is a really interesting combination variable problem.
In short, MMMMAAAAATTTTTHHHHHH matters.
Agreed sigs have high bore axis
Jonathan Watson true but they are high quality pistol i trust my life with a Sig pistol and I’m a Glock fan
@@skionen1781 I totally agree I've got a p227 and I love it! I'll take it over my glock 21 anyday
@@skionen1781 facts same here. I end up carring my sp2022 more than my Glock 19.
Not better then a glock ? What glock ? Cuz I like 2022 over the glock 22
Glocks are SO overrated!
Sig is much better than Glock.
SP2022 vs Glock is total apples & oranges. If you like a hammer, like I do, the SP2022 is a great bang for the buck. As nice as a 226? No way, but still a great pistol.
I agree I have a stock Glock 22 and I like my sig a litttle more. My m&p with full flat faced apex trigger out shoot it but hey it has a mod stock m&p ehh I’d rather have the 2022 and I got mine new for 400$flat plus decock the sumbitch and I throw it under my pillow I don’t trust my Glock or m$p under the pillow
Same here 👍 sp2022 40 s&w
Hi Colion, I know I'm very slow to watch this, but I'm 64 yrs old and just getting into firearms. Just call me a slow learner.
Thanks for this review of my front runner to purchase as my first pistol. I'm stuck in California and this firearm is to me the cream of the crop of what is still available here.
Again ... thank you for what you do, cheers!!
Still got mine, never getting rid of it. Most reliable, fun, easy to shoot gun I've ever owned.
Is there some kind of weirdo thing out there, where being the first to comment is important??
New to the Tube, or are you actually asking? I'm just wondering because you'd have a very hard time not finding a video with out at least one comment claiming first. It's been a thing for years now. Although for what purpose few know.
BurnThePope0514
No, I have been on youtube for years. I never really cared before. But I have been seeing it more lately, and just wondered.

Blah blah blah. Tell us how you feel about the Yeezy boost sneakers lol.
Thank you for finally giving this gun the credence it deserves. I own it and has become my carrying weapon and have barrels for both .40 and .357Sig
I subscribed because you make good videos and you got instrumentals of good songs in the background :)
Possibly the best gun review I've ever watched. Subscribed.
My first gun was a Ruger SR40 as well. That was the pistol that started my love affair with badass firepower. I sold it 3 years ago when I bought my first Glock and haven't looked back. I love your reviews. Keep them coming please.
My first gun and I love it !! Been hooked ever since
Love mine, has been my home defense gun in the TacOps edition for 10+ years.
Thanks
I have many Sig Sauer Pistols, the P226 and the SP2022 are the only models I have in all available calibers. I absolutely love this gun and it's one of my three main carry guns in the 9mm. Very good video bro!
