First, the barrel fit is superb. Simply superb.
Kinda chunky pistol.
Ok, so it's actually huge for a "compact" 9mm. Incidentally, that's a NHC Falcon with a newly staked plunger tube sitting underneath.
Massive slide.
Sig does a good job with barrels. Though, they don't use the hardest steel known to man.
That type of mag well makes me twitch, whereas the 1911 is nicely blended.
Stamped parts make me sad.
Tomorrow - prepping parts and correcting geometries.
Is that NHC a 9mm as well ?
The rear sight on that Sig is horrid. Needs some black Tremclad applied with a Q-tip...
So Todd threw out the 2022 manual? I didn't see it in the box.
In theory, new sights should be showing up before the gun leaves Bill's hands.
Are you replacing the E2 grips?
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
Probably. Hopefully with CTCs but no word yet on whether the ones I want are on the way or not.
Guys, for issues not directly related to Bill's findings and work we should probably keep things in the other thread so as not to water this one down.
I have the CT Military model front activation grips just sitting around if you need to borrow them.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
Was the trigger replaced with the short trigger? I thought all the new Sigs were coming with with the E2 and the Short reach trigger?
I always thought the P229 was built to be a 40/357 and the P228 a 9mm!
I found my P229 40cal grip to be the same width as my P30S 9mm.
Looks like sig got rid of the Bar Dot white painted sights!. I happen to be a fan of such sights. Also has a hooked trigger guard I see. (the Gen 1 P229 is rounded)
I hope the Dash -1 Slide and L extractor works out.
Still don't get why the new P227 didn't sport the -1 slide & L extractor?
