Bruce Gray of Gray's Guns did a P series video that is worth the $30 bucks. It isn't perfect, but rumor is they worked out the first production run kinks, but if you get a DVD that acts up....send it back, they will take care of it. For the cost of 1/2 box of ammo, you get an education, insight, and useful tips and tricks to do various things to your 22x. Mostly I learned (or rather re-learned) to just stay in my lane. Shoot them. Let someone else maintain them/ take them apart.
Sigs are easy to take apart and put back together compared to some other guns like CZs, or the Ruger Mk series. And once you do it a few times you get the hang of it.Originally Posted by Sean M

And seriously, why do myself what I can just go pawn off onto someone else? Who gets paid to do just that........seems to me I am taking away the justification for his job if I start doing things myself.
And I am pretty sure there are actually rules against user-level modifications. At least that is what I am told every time I turn a Sig in for replacement..............who knew?
I know I am coming in late here but I had a similar situation.
I wanted a 229R DAK to duplicate my duty 229R DAK in 9mm. Found one for for $500, used cop trade in in .40. Bought it. Found a SIG 229R 9mm Caliber exchange kit that was originally marketed for the 229 sold as a .22. Was told it would NOT work on my German 229 .40 frame. I bought it anyhow because I was told by others on SIG Forum that the standard 9mm locking insert was the key to getting those special 9mm kits to work on the .40/German frame guns. I had a 9mm magazine disconnect locking insert that would fit my pistol. When the 9mm kit arrived...as advertised it did not fit. After the locking insert swap I have put over 700 rounds of 9mm ball and JHP through her with nary a problem. She is now my personal EDC belt gun off duty. My 228 9mm mags work great and the new 15 rounders should work just as well if not better. I bought the disconnect model inserts from SIG about three years ago for about $50 each. I got two. They were limited to LE at the time but the regular models should be easy to get. If I can find another .40 DAK to buy in with It too will be set up like the first.
I hate you all, and this thread specifically. Funny thing happened at work today. A 226 followed me home.

A P226R followed me home a couple weeks back as well, precisely because of this thread (and the fact that I'd been wanting to try a DA/SA pistol for some time now).I hate you all, and this thread specifically. Funny thing happened at work today. A 226 followed me home.
I've been pretty impressed so far. The trigger isn't too bad - the double action is smooth and doesn't feel excessively heavy. Accuracy is very impressive. The pistol shot a 5 round 1.75" group at 25 yards (benched), unfortunately just 3" to the right so I think some windage adjustment is in order.
Muzzle flip "feels" higher than my G17's, but admittedly I'm still getting used to the recoil impulse and how to run it. I also dropped the SRT kit in and now the reset is ludicrously short.

If any of you guys are looking for a Sig you might find this interesting. Stamped slide 220s NIB, no rail. I'm not affiliated in any way just thought I'd pass it along.
