The Sig Sauer SP2022 9mm Carry Pistol, has a history typlical of Sig's commitment to innovation and quality. The Sig Nitron SP-2022 is a bit of a fusion of the company’s traditional craftsmanship and modern upgrades. With roots tracing back to the Swiss Industrial Company (SIG) and German J.P. Sauer & Sohn, Sig Sauer pistols have been synonymous with high performance and reliability.
Historically, the SP2022 finds its origin in law enforcement. The '2022' in its name reflects a significant contract with the French law enforcement and internal security agencies which was intended to last till 2022. This explains the pistol's considerable emphasis on robustness and dependability, making it a suitable choice for personal security and home defense.
Polymer Frame: The lightweight, durable, and wear-resistant polymer frame ensures the pistol withstands regular use and rough conditions.
Integrated M1913 Accessory Rail: Enhances the pistol's versatility, allowing for the attachment of various accessories.
Siglite Night Sights: Assists aiming in low-light conditions, enhancing the safety and efficacy of the firearm.
Nitron Finish: Provides excellent corrosion and wear resistance, promoting long-term performance.
DA/SA Trigger: Enhances shooting experience with a clean and crisp trigger pull.
Let’s consider what sets the SP2022 apart from Sig Sauer’s P320 and P229. The robust and time-proven P229 provides exceptional shooting experience, however while the SP2022 shares the high-capacity double-stack magazine design with the P229, it brings the advantage of being lightweight due to its polymer frame. Similar comparisons can be made with the Sig P320. Whilst the P320 provides modularity with its removable fire control unit and a polymer frame, the SP2022 favours a simplified structure which may appeal to those who prefer a no-frills, durable, and wieldy firearm, and has a traditional hammer trigger, where the P320 is striker fired. It is hard not to bring these up, as one naturally would ask the question of: "why should I evaluate the SP-2022?"
While the Sig Sauer SP2022 offers an impressive suite of features, the P320 and P229 both have their unique merits. The choice boils down to personal preferences, shooting style, and requirements.
Understaing the SP2022 also unveils how certain elements that may initially appear as issues are simply trade-offs contingent upon the design's objectives. For instance, the trigger's multiple resets that some users experience is an aspect influenced by its unique structure rather than a hurdle. Distinguishing these nuances elevates one's comprehension of Sig Sauer SP2022's proficiency, ultimately enriching the shooting experience.
In conclusion, the Sig Sauer SP2022 holds a noteworthy position in the broad spectrum of firearms, striking a harmonious balance of history, innovation, practicality, and affordability. If you are seeking a reliable firearm that carries the trust of Sig Sauer and a fascinating historical heritage, the SP2022 stands as a worthy candidate, and at a more reasonable price point compared to the P229.

THIS IS A SERIALIZED FIREARM. It must ship to a Federal Firearms License holder. No civilian exceptions.
Buying and shipping through Charlie’s is easy, but there is some information you need to know. Only a federally licensed firearms dealer may receive a firearm or federally regulated serialized item (like a receiver or suppressor). We cannot ship these items directly to you. Please follow these steps to process your transaction:
1) Check your state laws to make sure the federally regulated item you want to purchase is legal in your state. Your FFL dealer should be able to give you all of the necessary information regarding your state specific laws. But, if we ship to your FFL, and there is a legal issue, we cannot accept a return. So please make sure that you know and follow your local and state laws.
2) A quick google search will show you what Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealers are in your area. When you are ready to purchase, contact the FFL dealer you would like to use and get their shipping address. During the check-out, put YOUR address in the “billing” section and the FFL DEALER’S address in the “shipping” section. If you don’t know your FFLs address, that’s okay. You can send the information later.
3) After check out, make sure to contact your FFL dealer to ensure they will receive your shipment for you (most do this for a small fee, but you should always double check).
4) Have your dealer send us a copy of their FFL to FFL@CharliesCustomClones.com. Charlie’s does not reach to your FFL (MAKE THEM EARN THEIR FEE!!!)
5) Be patient! In order to ensure we remain compliant with all federal laws, our compliance department is kept separate from our sales and operations team. Please allow a few days for our compliance officer to verify all of your dealer’s documents and ensure all federal laws are being observed. You should hear from our compliance department within 3-4 business days. If not, feel free to reach out for a status update.
That’s it! We try to make this process as simple as possible for our customers, but if you are unfamiliar the process or have any other questions, please visit our How to Buy a Firearm page for more details.
California and New York residents please, click here. The process may be different due to state specific laws.
NOTE: The free shipping option does not apply to full rifles, unless purchased with a riflescope. If you choose free shipping at check-out, we will bill you for shipping later.
