Sig BDA 45 acp

[stefofthenorth]

I have the chance to pick up a Sig BDA in 45 acp. It is in very good condition what would be a fair price for it .

You don't see many listed here so I don't have a real solid answer. These were SIG made early P220s IIRC and I think they all had the heel mag release. They're a little outdated but would have some appeal to shooters who want a somewhat unusual well-made pistol. The pictures I've seen show "Montreal PQ" on the slide so that's a neat touch. I'm going to say $750ish.

That is the one Sig made for browning based on the p220 right? I'm thinking 700 would be fair. Earlier Sig 220s of this vintage with the Euro mag release don't tend to fly off the shelf and are typically listed around the 750 - 800 mark. Personally i think they are great value. Given the Browning is a rarer, it might command a premium to some ($800+?) but I don't think there is huge demand. Neat gun. I'd go for it.

If it is indeed in good shape and you can get it for a good price I think it'd be a cool gun to own.

Asking is 699 plus tax , it does not have original grips but nice wood ones..I missed out on a 9mm one about 3 years ago on here which I regret

Sounds pretty good! The BDA's original grips don't look like great grips to me, and wood grips are in keeping with the 1970s aesthetic of the pistol, too

Seems like a really cool gun. I'd run if I were you, but tell the guy I'm willing to give him 200 bucks for it.

Is it the SIG (220) or the Browning (BDA) version you are looking at? I just saw a piece on American Rifleman TV show on the Browning version which is supposed to be better finished and quite a bit more rare than the SIG version.

I had one a few years back. I bought it because it was the first opportunity I had to buy a SIG. It was a neat gun, but, as mentioned by someone else above, I really didn't care for the heel release. In the end, I traded it on something else for that reason.

It is a BDA

Heel release works a little better in the cold with gloves on. BDA is a good gun. Had one around 1980.- dan

I quite love my P220 9mm. The old heel release mechanism is nice. You will love having a BDA.

I have one. One of my favourites. Buying more mags is tricky.

Does it take P220 heel-clip mags?

The one video I could find on them the guy says they do. I yet to inspect the pistol I am going tomorrow morning . It will be intresting to see if they are genuine BDA mags or sig mags .
