Exceptionally reliable and none of them that I knew had any difficulty qualifying with them. One of those guys eventually started carrying a Glock and shot one of his digits off with it when he reached into a gym bag and somehow ND'd it. Should have stuck with the P220. |

The owner of Matrix thought the bend in the extractor maybe different. I wonder if it’s an adjustment/tension fitment issue rather than a dimensional difference. Has anyone installed a short reset trigger on the older W German 220’s? I saw some comments about it interfering with the DA operation. Top picture is the 220 block. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/230503/IMG_3765_jpeg-3816743.JPG I have had Sig install SRTs on a number of W. German and German P220s and P226s. Some have required new grips to make it work. How did you like it? Did it effect the either the single action or double action function? Worthwhile service. Short reset triggers should be standard on all P-series guns. Their Action Enhancement Package really smoothes things out as well. |
