Does anyone have experience with one of these? I have all my 45 paraphernalia and no 45 at the moment. I was prepared to get another 1911 and then I stumbled across the p220 sao. I've always been a fan of the 220/226 but have never owned one.

I don't have any experience with the SAO but I own a p220 Combat DA/SA.
I find the SA is very crisp and light. I usually need a mags worth to get used to it especially after shooting my G17 with the NY1 spring. Not complaining just saying there is a difference and I like them both.

I had an Armco Norc/1911A1 before the p220. Liked that also but I have to admit I like the fit/finish of the Sig.

I'm sure you will like the SAO.
 
SIG 220 and 226..SAO...have one in .45ACP and 9mm.
Fantastic guns...
No reservations about recommending them.
 
SAO frame is different than the DA/SA frames. I have read you can turn a SAO fram into a DA/SA, but not the other way around.

I love my P220 SAO. It is accurate and a great balance between compactness and light weight... think Comander Lightweight. The grip girth is larger than a 1911, but Hogue makes thinner grips in their Extreme line. Trigger reset will never be like a 1911's or a Glock, which are very short, but once you get to know the trigger rest, the shooting is fast and easy. It really isn't much to overcome. The nice thing about the P220 SAO is that you can work the action with the thumb safety engaged, adding an extra degree of safety.

The only thing I would change is to somehow find a way to extend the thumb safety a bit, as I have very long thumbs.
