Wrong forum. You're looking for "Foreign Stamped Sheetmetal ****."

Whatever. :rolleyes: I still love my P225. And my P226 Navy.

Sorry, my comments were uncalled for. SIG makes an excellent pistol.

[ST5MF]

As a die-hard 1911 guy I will say that Sig Sauer makes an excellent working pistol in the P226/9mm.

I have yet to wield another pistol with such accuracy and reliability out of the box.

My only gripe is the aluminum frame which shortens its life-span in the name of weight reduction. The only pistol I would prefer to carry for work en-lieu of the P226/9mm is a tuned (Carbon Steel) Government Style 1911 in .45ACP.

But isn't that what any 1911 guy would say.

[Gammon]

SIGs may be well made, reliable, and accurate, but I can't stand the trigger. Every large framed SIG that I have fired has had horrible creep in the SA trigger. When I mentionedv this to the local SIG authority, he replied "That's a SIG trigger". Apparently this creep that I find so offensive is prevalent in these guns. Sorry, but S&W (AMERICAN MADE) has a better SA and DA trigger and these pistols are quite reliable. I own nine S&Ws and no SIGs. These purchases were made after quite a bit of testing and comparisons; S&W came out on top.

Sorry? Creep in Sig Sauers triggers? IF memory serves me right, the P-226 which was my first pistol, years ago, had the loveliest trigger I've ever encounter on a double action pistol. And before I made up my mind, I had tried almost all of them (well, all we can find here).

No creep in either double action or single action, actually the single action pull was the most 1911-like trigger pull I've every encounter.

Sorry, I have to disagree on that.

[Gammon]

All I can do is call them as I see them. All of the half dozen or so Sigs I have fired (.40s and .45s) had the same creepy trigger. When I brought this to the attention of a friend of mine who is a SIG afficiando, he agreed with me. If I could find one with a decent SA trigger, I might even buy it, as long as the slide isn't a sheet metal stamping.

I've owned alot of Sig's, my first P255 is on the way. I also have a P226 Sport Stock that has to have the best double action trigger I've ever shot.

As an owner of numrous colt's and 1 sig (P220), I wouldn't hesitate to carry the sig, it would only take all of my 1911's being unusable. Sig is a good weapon, the only problem imho, is the trigger. The words trigger and reset should never be used in the same sentance when conversing about Sig's

[Joni Lynn]

I really like my 1911's but I have to admit to owning several Sig's.....a 232 stainless......239 with Novak sights in 9mm...226 navy and a 220 Langdon. (also a 226 in 40, but I think it needs to go somewhere else.)

[wildon1911s]

I too am very partial to my 1911s, but I have owned several Sigs and still own a P229 .40, a P232 .380, and a P226 .40/.357sig. I really do like them, well made, and easy to field strip. Must be something good about them, afterall they have been picking up large government contracts here in the U.S.

[brickboy240]

Ok, everyone loves to poo-poo the Sig's alloy frame, and to those people I ask...have YOU ever worn out a SIG pistol's frame? (dead silence)

The same people that down the SIG's frame downed the Glock and other polymer framed pistols, but I'll be damned if I can find anyone that has "shot one out" and I have asked and asked. The silence is deafening.

That said, my P-220 was reliable from day-one with every 45acp round I threw in it. I cannot say that for my old Colt Govt. model of my newer Springfield Armory 1911. It also does not need new extractors, guide rods or a different hammer or trigger to make it fly right either.

So...lets hear from those that have worn out a Sig 220's frame...


...hmmm?

[Joni Lynn]

I will attempt to wear out several guns in what is left of my life. I should only be so lucky as to succeed. (Sig, Colt, whatever)

[Jeffrey]

Joni, Is there any gun you don't own? How long you been shooting and/or collecting? :)

[John]

She is kind of short in Howitzers and Miniguns. Oh yes, a WWII German 88 canon is positioned inside her fence, by the yard door, but that's not part of her collection really, it's a mock-up made of clay. She just couldn't find one in the market and had an artist make her a dummy.

[Jeffrey]

I knew there was something special about this little lady with all this firepower. :)
