Basic does indeed mean no night sights (in this instance). Beyond that its the same model as the $499.99 one advertised last week.LongHairedRedneck wrote:I like my SIg 2022, seems to be a quality pistol. "Basic" means no Night SIghts and some other things(not sure at this moment what they are). But it's the same pistol just without some extras.
BTW thats the "everyday price" on the Sig, it's not on sale
And to address a post above, the 2022 got its name because that is when the contract for the pistol with the French national police is up.
The 2022 is probably one of the most under-rated pistols on the market today. It has one of the best out of the box triggers out there. Combine that with three interchangeable grips (I believe the 9mm is still shipping with 2 mags and one grip, while the .40/.357s are shipping with one mag and two grips) and you're getting a great pistol for the money. The only down side right now is the lack of holsters for them; its a little known fact that they fit holsters made for the XD. However, I suspect as more are sold we'll see a greater offering of support for them. Anyone looking to get into the world of Sig Sauer would be very well served looking at this gun.
