elife3p Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Can anyone confirm or deny that a Sig P220 single action only can or cannot be used in single stack in USPSA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodelta Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 It is only legal for Limited, Limited 10, or Open. That's what I started with a couple years ago, and used it for L-10. I asked the same thing. I don't think it has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wide45 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Can anyone confirm or deny that a Sig P220 single action only can or cannot be used in single stack in USPSA? Don't be a stranger to the rules APPENDIX D5 — Single-Stack Division Special conditions: Only 1911 production type pistols. Must be available to the general public and have their basis in the original 1911 service pistol as designed by John M. Browning. Pistols made from components that duplicate the factory originals are acceptable. Frames must be metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elife3p Posted October 16, 2011 Author Share Posted October 16, 2011 Wide45 thanks for attaching Appendix D5. I had already read it and that is where my question originated since the Sig p220 is a John Browning design same as the M1911a1.The following paragraph illustrates this fact. Design The P220 operates by the locked breech short-recoil method pioneered by John Browning. On firing, the slide and barrel are locked together until, after a few millimetres of rearward movement, the barrel is cammed down at the rear after the pressure has dropped enough when the bullet has departed the barrel, whereupon the slide completes the rearward stroke ejecting the spent cartridge. The frame is of forged alloy with a hard-anodised coating. While designed for ease of production, the SIG 220 series is of the highest quality and there is no compromise in durability or functionality compared to pistols produced using more traditional methods. The only stupid question is the one that remains unasked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norther Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Even though it may be based on a Browning design, it still does not meet the primary criteria of being a "1911 production type pistol". Not too familiar with the P220, but I think it may be closer to a Hi-Power than a 1911 anyway, both Browning designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 In that case, why don’t they call it what it is and say the ”1911” division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
