Sig Sauer SP2022 Review: Pros and cons of the SP2022

Sig Sauer is known for their double action/single action handguns as well as producing some of the most reliable pistols on the market. Among their impressive line-up of handguns is the SP2022, a semi-automatic, polymer-framed pistol. In this blog, we will discuss the pros and cons of the Sig Sauer SP2022.

Pros:

1. Accuracy: The Sig Sauer SP2022 is known for its accuracy. It has a smooth trigger pull and a comfortable grip that make it easy to shoot accurately. It is also chambered in 9mm, which is a common caliber that is known for its controllability.

2. Durability: The SP2022 has a polymer frame that makes it lightweight and durable. The frame is resistant to scratches, dings, and other types of damage. The stainless steel slide is made to be durable and resistant to rust and corrosion.

3. Reliability: Sig Sauer is known for producing reliable firearms, and the SP2022 is no exception. It can be used for thousands of rounds with little to no malfunctions due to the gun operation.

4. Ergonomics: The SP2022 has a comfortable grip that fits well in most hands. Although it has a higher bore axis than other guns, it is still a comfortable firearm to shoot.

5. Affordability: The SP2022 is one of the most affordable Sig Sauer pistols on the market. Despite its affordable price, it still delivers the quality and reliability that Sig Sauer is known for.

Cons:

1. Sights: The SP2022 has low-profile, fixed sights that can be difficult to see compared to after market sights. Upgrading to aftermarket sights is more of a personal choice as some prefer to SIGLITE night sights.

2. Trigger: While the trigger pull is smooth and consistent, it is also heavy. Some shooters may prefer a lighter trigger pull, which can be achieved with an aftermarket trigger kit.

3. Magazine Release: The magazine release on the SP2022 is a little small and can be difficult to operate, especially for shooters with larger hands. This can be an issue if you want to consistently reload your pistol quickly.

4. Optics Compatibility: The SP2022 does not come optics ready. Most pistols in this size category come in an optics ready variant. The SP2022 currently does not have this feature. If you want to mount a red dot to the SP2022 you will have to get it milled by a professional.

5. Size: The SP2022 is not the most compact or concealable pistol on the market. It is larger and heavier than some other 9mm pistols, which may be a drawback for those who want a pistol for concealed carry.

The Sig Sauer SP2022 is a reliable, accurate, and affordable pistol that is a great option for law enforcement, military personnel, and civilian use. Its durability, reliability, and comfortable grip make it easy to shoot accurately, while its affordability makes it accessible to a wider range of shooters. It may have a few drawbacks, such as its low-profile sights and heavy trigger pull, but these can be addressed with aftermarket upgrades. Overall, the Sig Sauer SP2022 is a solid choice for those in the market for a quality 9mm pistol.
