The "Sig"ness- vol 1.

[grillak]

That’s kinda what I was thinking. 249 on the slide, barrel was around 179 and around 39 for the recoil spring. The only advantage I’d have with this route is night sights which I can take or leave.

and $300 for the fcu with the srt. there's a company (forget their name atm) that makes unbranded sig night sights for about half the price of sig

I was planning on just using my existing m17 fcu if I ordered the slide

but that still leaves you with only 1 sig.

blaspemy!

More sig = better for sure.. P365 got me back in to Sigs then aP229 Legion followed it home and then recently the M17

my bad. i didn't know you were already in the grip of the signess. i try to convert as many people as possible.

i was about to grab a p320 in .45 when i got my 2nd p229.

guns.c om keeps sending me emails for a p320 for $600. i might grab it if it's still there next week.

smack might be a cheaper high

You could sell the FCU if you didn't have a need for it, and recoup a good bit of $. Or keep it and build another.

Well I actually found a sig I didn’t like!, I was at a shop today and they had a legion 229 sao, the trigger had a little too much creep for me, but that was fixable, what wasn’t fixable was the slide release!, with the safety down, my thumb couldn’t contact the slide stop! So, as much as I want to like and buy a legion 229 sao, I just can’t!

I am struggling a bit with the slide release on my new to me p226 legion sao. The safety is pretty large and long, and is right up by the slide release which is standard size.
I’m training reloads around the release by pulling back the slide, which is faster for me anyway but it seems like I revert to using the release during administrative stuff. And every time I reach up to work the release it does feel strange to be kind of blocked by the safety somehow.
I like it well enough I will train around it.

I’m not sure that I understand Sigs rationale for the small slide catch on the Legions. I’ve never had an issue with the standard slide catch and the small catch makes single hand ops a bit more difficult. I tend to slingshot the slide anyway but it’s always struck me as an odd “upgrade”.

My first Sig followed me home today

Congrats! I need to pick up a 365XL one of these days too

I did not know the slide catch was smaller, I wonder why. It explains a lot though.

You can see the difference in the two in the pic of the P226s

 

[Expat]

I have seen people whining and bitching on the Sig group over the years. They think it is Sig's fault that they can't help pushing down on that when they are shooting. It is almost has bad as the 1911 forum. Everything someone does wrong must be a manufacturing or design problem.

you could switch the slide release with a standard one.

or if you're looking to rehome...

 

[88E30M50]

I'm not looking to rehome Sigs unless the new home is mine.

For me it seems the safety sticks out a little and blocks me from getting a position of torque to work the slide release. The other is clear to work.

If anybody needs one, Classic has well worn older P226's for only 800.00.

 

[88E30M50]

That seems pricey to me. My last lightly used P229 only bought a month ago was $455. A well worn P226 feels like a $500 pistol to me.

New P320 spectre comp , I actually like this one a lot more than the P365 variant for some reason. Basically a P320 "Roland Special" from the factory.

 

[edporch]

I found a used P229 .40SW for $459.99 and it's on the way.
I ALSO have an OEM Sig barrel in .357 Sig coming too.
Have never had a DAK trigger, but am looking forward to trying it.
