Only three controls need to be worried about, all of which are on the left side of the pistol: a standard magazine release button, a decocking lever, and an elongated slide release, all clustered together and accessible by your right thumb when you grip the pistol.
With the hammer down, the gun may be fired by a long pull of the trigger or with a light trigger pull with the hammer cocked rearward. The gun is hammer fired and is a traditional double-action/single-action design. Oddly enough, it is one of the few handguns developed from the ground up for the 40, whereas most 40 caliber handguns are 9mm designs made to take the larger 40 round. The Sig Sauer SP2022 Nitron Carry Pistol is a full-sized handgun available in either 9mm Luger or 40 S&W.

Some military and law enforcement adoptions followed, but since then, the SIG Pro 2022 has played a very underrated role, not just in Sig’s lineup but in the rise of budget-oriented fighting pistols. Four hundred thousand units were ordered with an expected service life of twenty years and replacement, hence the name 2022. The SIG Sauer 2022 won the contract in the year 2002, the largest pistol contract since the end of World War II. This was a conservative design but one that landed in time, as the French were looking for a new police pistol. Sig’s answer was a 40 caliber pistol targeting law enforcement, using a polymer frame while retaining the aforementioned familiar operation of their older, trusted platforms. Polymer guns were still tough but lighter-weight and cheaper to produce. At the time, Glock’s polymer-framed striker-fired pistols were cutting into Sig’s share in the military and law enforcement world. The SIG SP2022 started out life as the P2340 in 1999. After a few months of use and six hundred rounds downrange, I am here to give what few impressions I can. The latte-drinking, plaid shirt-wearing hipster in me wanted the CZ, but I went home with the Sig instead.
I had it in my head that my first polymer duty-sized pistol would be one or the other.
I have always liked this quiet player, along with its newer generations that all follow the same basic operation as the CZ P07. This unusual amalgamation of old and new found initial success but has since been forgotten by most shooters. Like its more famous predecessors, like the P226, the SIG 2022 is a double-action hammer-fired pistol, and the general operation is identical, but the platform is wedded to a lightweight polymer frame. Sig Sauer SP2022 Nitron Carry Pistol, aka the SIG PRO Their first plastic fantastic debuted back in 1999, and it is still to be had, it current iteration is the Sig Sauer SP2022 Nitron Carry Pistol, otherwise known as the Sig Pro.
