Analysis

The P220 Stainless Elite .45 Auto uses a full stainless steel slide and frame in place of the standard aluminum alloy construction to provide added mass that reduced felt recoil while preserving the handling characteristics of the full-size platform. Combined with the Elite package of a beavertail frame extension, front slide cocking serrations, front-strap checkering, and short-reset trigger, it offered a more robust version of the classic P220 for shooters who preferred greater durability and a traditional stainless appearance with rosewood grips.
