10-4 - that's why I specified the type of break. That would suck. I've never seen that in a SIG but I recall you mentioning it here on PF. I've seen a Glock 19 slide launch down range though.Ahh. That is a different problem than what really concerns me. The separation of the arm from the drum is not a game ender except in some really odd circumstances. Sig turned out a bunch of guns with bad levers. They are supposed to be welded and riveted and one of their subcontractors only riveted them.
When one fails in a P220, it fractures in the middle of the lever. My first happened in the middle of a match. The gun failed to fire so I tapped-racked-clicked. I tap-racked again and the slide launched down range, leaving me with a frame and looking at the round in the top of the magazine. It was not confidence inspiring.
I've just got bad gun juju. I've broken takedown levers like that 3 times and I've had an arm start to spin on me.

If it was me i'd get a red dryfire gun over a blue gun. About a year ago GTs in Austin had some used blue P226s - part of a PD trade in - they are also a major SIG LE distributor - call em - worst they can say is no. I've never had the factory red guns but the agency and FLETC converted ones I've seen had cut firing pins and pugged barrels but allowed cycling / chambering of dummy rounds.
I think liability concerns would be higher with a blue gun vs the non firing red gun.
