    Don't own one.

    They've been marketed as the "SIG Pro" in the USA, and that's how most shooters here know them, I think. They've always been considered sort of a "red headed stepchild" of the SIG line in the USA, but for what its worth, they're fairly highly regarded in Europe. The SP2009 is the original 9mm iteration of this gun.

    These guns are less expensive because they're polymer framed (less steel = less cost), because the internals are a bit simplified (not that this is a bad thing), and because they've never been all that popular in the USA (where we have a glut of all sorts of modern auto pistols to choose from).

    If you like the gun (ie how it feels), you're not going to go wrong with one of these for only $300!

    I have one in 40S&W, it is the 2340 version but not much has changed from then to now, minor internal tweaks.

    Mine has been a champ, after 10k plus I finally wore out an extractor. (more like bent it, i bent it back and it is good as new)

    One of these days I will break a spring and have to send it somewhere to have it repaired

    before you buy it check out this

    I shot mine bone stock in uspsa production division and kept up with everyone else shooting glocks, smith's & Springfields

    FWIW

    the SP is slightly smaller than the 226 it is not very "compact" and is difficult to conceal well

    check to make sure the guy before you didn't bend the take down pin, which also doubles as the slide stop lever

    quote:There is a way to check whether your slide stop lever is out of spec. With the Sig Pro assembled, apply slight inward pressure on the rear of the slide stop lever. Is there some play? There should be no inward/outward play. There can be downward play, of course, as that's how the slide stop lever functions. When there is inward/outward play, it seems that the pin can work itself loose. If this is the case, you will need a new slide stop lever. Call Sig-Sauer (+1-603-772-2302) to explain the problem, and request that they send to you a new slide stop lever.

    I've had a SIGARMS Pro 2340 since new, for about 8 or 9 years. Mine came with a .40 S&W barrel and I later acquired a .357 SIG factory drop-in barrel. I have shot some fantastic groups with the .40, slightly larger with the .357. This piece has NEVER faltered with either type of ammo - round count slightly over 1000 of mixed ammo and calibers. It is the piece I keep in the drawer next to my bed - I trust it. Others who have shot it have had mixed feelings: some don't like the "top heavy" feel - some don't like the grip (mine has the mid size backstrap), all have remarked about the ease of shooting it accurately and precisely. The PROS outweigh the CONS. I have heard and read (on other forums) that this series is not up to SIG standards - usually from folks that have not owned nor shot one - but I strongly disagree with those sentiments. I own a fairly large variety of handguns made by other manufacturers, as well as other SIGS, and I can find no fault with the 2000 series from my standpoint. I have seen used ones selling, in this part of EASTERN PA, for upwards of 400 bucks, recently - not many, but a few over the years. IMHO 300 bucks is a GREAT price for one, if it is in good condition and safe to fire.
