The "Sig"ness- vol 1.

[ditcherman]

Agreed, I just wasn't 100% sure if there was anything specific to rimfire that might have precluded it. . Rimfire that was compatible with grip modules already on the market would have been... Perfection.

That said, I'd have also preferred it being striker fired as well, which is 100% doable on a rimfire.

Why the desire for striker fired over hammer, if it’s all enclosed anyway?
My only experience with an enclosed hammer is FN5.7, trying to understand some of the differences…

I might have to pick one of those up. Looks like it could be fun

You’ve got two 3/4 days to make a statement.

Just prefer trigger feel/reset, etc to be as similar to the gun I'm trying to mimic as possible for trainer gun. I've got an S&W M&P compact 22 with the internal hammer, but prefer my TX-22 over it.

Wow, I've already seen them advertised in stock at $399, although that site is now out of stock.

I've requested one at MSRP; if not available, I will wait.

We all know Sig will have a "special" model soon. LOL!

So I just got a pretty significant promotion and have with the wife's blessing been allowed to pick out a new pistol. Really torn between the new P210 Carry or the FN 2022 Hi-Power , I know this thread will be biased but both are just good looking handguns. Maybe a new rifle, but honestly 99% of the shooting i do is handgun so I have a hard time sinking cash into another rifle I don't really shoot (but it's every American males duty to have their own rifle set up IMHO)

Biased opinions never!!! I mean it’s only a thread about sig pistols!!!, I mean come on, who goes to a thread about sig pistols and talks crap about sigs! (Well there was that one guy who’s still sitting in the corner licking his wounds!)…

Between the two, I’d go with the 210 carry! NOW IF the high power was built just like the older ones, I’d have to toss a coin! Look at the fit and finish on the new high powers, it’s like a wish.com “high power!”

Older high powers (even from the last run before they dropped them in 17 or 18) are a world apart from the new ones, the fit, the finish, the elegance of the classic high power is…just old world class!

The new “high powers” are for guys who’d buy electric Harley Davidsons, guys who drink “ipa’s”…guys who “moisturize”…guys who pay other guys to cut their grass!

You don’t drink ipa’s do you???

I cannot say I like beer at all TBG and I think the new FN is being judged a bit harshly. I get a more modern design , better magazines but loose some parts interchangeablity. That being said I am waiting a few months for more reviews to come out as I don't want to get a "lemon"

For you striker fired guys out there… specifically P320

Some of you might have missed that Sig is using two versions of recoil springs on the 3.9” P320 compact. The flat spring model is pretty rough leading to the slide not racking very smooth. You can order a new spring with the coiled rear recoil spring and it really cleans things up. Just did this today on the 320c. I can get a comparison picture if needed

From what I'm seeing, it seems that Sig is moving towards the flat recoil springs.
I hear the flat ones are supposed to have a longer service life.

I might need to order a couple in that case. The flat spring really makes the pistol feel cheap in comparison

That may be, but every different version of a component has it's design compromises.
But if you like the coiled version, you might stock up on them because Sig may stop making them.

Seems like they did for the P229, as that's what I got ordered straight from Sig a few days ago.
But they seem good in my P229's and don't feel cheap.
In fact they felt springier when I swapped them out.

Both of these are on my short list, the 210 Carry's are out but pushing 1500.00, i'll wait. When the FN's come out we'll have to go through the same nonsense of high prices for awhile i'm sure.

Is the grip angle on that 210 really greater than other Sigs or is it just the picture? There were some comments on the IG post but no answers. Just looks strange to put a g***k angle on a Sig if that’s actually the case.

The P210 Carry is drop dead gorgeous

I finished my latest P229 build tonight. This is the one I picked up a couple of weeks back. It was in really good shape, so it didn’t need much in the way of cosmetic work but I did bead blast a spare slide for it, put a new set of NightFision sights on and put some nice wood grips on. Internally, it has a SigArmorer Super Strut, Armory Craft SRT and AC spring kit. The DA went from close to 10# down to 7.25# and SA from 4.25# to a tick under 3.5#. So, perfect for how I like my carry guns set up.

This one will get some range time and if it behaves, will find regular holster duty going forward.

Repeat picture, but this is how she looks now

The P229 bug bit me again tonight.

Auctions on several P229 .357Sig DAK's ended at the SAME time tonight for a seller who had many for sale.
So I bid on a few too many without realizing to keep from losing out and ended up "stuck" with 4 of them!

Two of them are in the CONSECUTIVE serial number range of 55B0928xx, 55B0928xx, and they are only two serial numbers off from the previous one I got recently.

So I'll now have three .357 Sigs within a 4 number serial range, with two of them in LNIB condition, and the third slightly less than LNIB condition,.

Plus the other two are serial numbers AAU018xx and AM 40 5xx.

I really like the P229 in 357 Sig, BUT THIS HAS TO STOP!

Well it can’t stop now. You’ll be ate up trying to find that one missing serial number out of the 4. Good luck with that
Then it can stop.

I don't have the P210 Carry, but I do have the full size target model. I would have to go with the P210 unless you want to carry the pistol, then I would go with the FN. The P210s are just really nice pistols.
