Sig Super match

Dont have one and never shot one but.....have a STX, C3 and P238 that are awesome. IMHO can't go wrong with anything Sig makes.
 
I have not shot one but I believe it would shoot very well, I have a P220 Match Elite and it can do a ragged hole at 25 yards. I like about everything Sig makes.
 
CDNN Sports has them for under a grand right now. Add in shipping and probably a $25 transfer fee and it's in your hands for around $1,050 FWIW.
 
Had one for a while -- fine weapon.

Mine, an early one, had a very strong recoil spring, which made releasing the slide difficult, and SIG didn't have an easy solution. I haven't heard of that being a problem with newer production guns. (A similar problem with a .40 SIG P226 X-5 was improved with a 9mm X-5 recoil spring -- something similar might've worked with the SM, but I sold it before I learned of that possible fix, and I don't like cutting coils.)

As accurate as other P220s. Very crisp trigger. Beautiful gun... but I eventually sold it. If you like the P220, or the Match model you'll probably love the SM.

Strong recoil spring may be bad for me. I am planning on using 4.2 Bullseye and 230 g FMJ. Hope this will cycle ok.
 
As I noted, the strong recoil spring MAY have been a characteristic of some of the earliest Super Match models. I've not read or heard of problems with later ones. It cycled normally -- just releasing the slide was a problem for me. It doubt it would be as big a problem with Bullseye as some of the other gun games.

I could make it work, but had to pull the slide back with one hand and depress the slide release with the strong hand. (The guy who bought the gun from me had strong hands, and he could do it using his strong hand only. He later got a weaker spring and it is now his CARRY weapon.) Go figure.

The P-226 X-5 I mentioned, as do all X-5s and X-6s, has a different recoil spring assembly than the standard P226 guns, so just getting a lighter P226 spring from Wolff was not an option. (If I remember correctly, Gray Guns seems to feel that the X-5 guns require the type of spring [winded/wound/twisted] that comes with it.) I didn't investigate the Wolff path with my P220 SM; it may, in fact, require a longer recoil spring than the standard P220.)

Buddy of mine has a Super Match Elite in 40 S&W. It has had some custom work done to it, but is a phenomenal gun. Flattest shooting 40S&W I've ever handled. I drooled all over it while dumping mags.
 
Hard to beat the quality built into every Sig; more expensive, yes, but there's no gamble, you know the gun's going to be first rate. And to back it up there's superb customer service. I've owned them for 15 yrs or so now, after 35+ years of other brands, and was immediately surprised at the accuracy, reliability and quality built in, US manuf. or German, you can't go wrong with a Sig.

Thanks for the tips, got the sig p226 in October, it's been great. many mods including a extra slide with a leupold RMR. Nice groups.
