The "Sig"ness- vol 1.

[88E30M50]

I’m up to 250 rounds through the P226 in .40 using a factory 9mm barrel with no issues. If you have a.40 or .357 Sig P229, you really can run the factory 9mm barrel and spring just fine.

In case you P320 users are interested. A (pretty pricey) P320 Lower parts kid with Wilson Combat extended slide release.The WC good for lefties. Lefties can also just make a U-shape with the thumb and middle finger to tap the original slide release from my brief stint with a P250:

Sig Sauer P320 FCU Lower Parts Kit, 9/40/357, Black, Wilson Combat Extended Slide Catch

i purchased a p226 .40 s&w new in 1992. became dumb in 2001 and sold it. i'm smart now...just picked up a p220 last week. traded a m&p 40. i'm currently looking for another reasonably priced p226. i would prefer .40 s&w...hint hint.

Looks nice. Don't think I'd want a SAO only for my lefty self. I did pick up a hardly used P226 in .357 Sig for $550 shipped even during all of this. Just have to hang on, I guess. I think the P226 SAO are more pricey than the usual DA/SA. A quick look at the Sig site. It seems the only current production P226 SAOs are Legion. $$$

When you hit 50 posts, you can post a WTB ad in the classifieds, message non-mods, etc. Can also pay a small fee to become a Site Supporter and take off the pressure of hitting 50. It's nice. Helps keep the site running.

My .40 P226 came from GB. Police trade in for under $500 back in December. The .40 is the most versatile in that you can run 3 calibers using factory barrels and mags

.40 S&W, .357 Sig, and ? I thought the 9mm required a spring change.

it's a dak. i was very confused at first. did a lot of research to figure out the mixed signals. i finally took it apart and identified it by the hammer assembly. i am 99.99% sure at this point. plus the case says it's dak. the trigger is definitely different from any of my other da/sa and sao pistols.

Ah, that makes more sense. I've never played with one of those.

i hadn't either until now. i think i've learned more about the classics in the past week than i had for the almost 10 yrs i had the p226. i've ordered about $200 in parts so far. waiting on the deliveries. i just hope they're not coming via UPS

 

[JEBland]

Hmm. I haven't ever worked in a dak. I think 88 above looked over what was needed to convert a DAK to a DA/SA - dunno if that's the direction you wanted to go with it. Osage and Gray Guns both stock plenty of Sig parts. Osage also orders a bunch of GG original parts. Armorer's manuals can also be found online.

yeah. i'm researching the conversion. icve checked out gray guns & midwest & even ebay. i also downloaded the armorer's manual donated by a guy on sigtalk. it doesn't have as much info as i thought it would but a much appreciated start.

.40 S&W, .357 Sig, and ? I thought the 9mm required a spring change.

9mm +P SD ammo will run with the .40 spring but target ammo does need a 9mm spring to lock the slide back

I bought my Sig P220 about 10 years ago. Installed Crimson Trace first day I got it.
This is one hand gun that will never leave the family. Love it!

 

[repeter1977]

For whatever reason, Crimson Trace makes really good grips, even if don't use the laser, I really enjoy it more than most other grips. Sad but completely understand why they are so expensive.

I’m carrying the P226 in 9mm tonight. I really do love this pistol.

It's a great carry, I'm assuming as I usually try carrying my P228. That stays at home because of value, especially sentimental, so I use a G19 as my vehicle gun. If something happens to that one it's a Glock so my feelings wouldn't be as hurt.

 

[88E30M50]

This P226 is a LE trade in that set me back less than $500, so not much lost if it disappeared into the black hole of an evidence locker

i feel you. i would love to make may p220 my edc. when i had my p226 .40 s&w, i carried it every day. i'd love to get me a couple of police trade in p226's in whaterver calibre i could find.

my edc now is my taurus g2c .40 s&w or g2c 9mm.

Now that the thermometer is up, I find myself carrying a basic P365. Just so easy to conceal.

If I'm out for a quick trip, I'll grab that too. If I'm going to be out a bit, or going through less than ideal areas, I'll grab my P228. I feel more confident in my ability with that.
