      Results: Sig P320 Voluntary Upgrade

      Hi Guys, This is Scott Folk from Apex. The info you have here is correct aside from one detail. We specify that our trigger bar and over-travel stop are o be used only with our triggers or the factory curved trigger. We know Sig's general tolerances and we know our own, but what we can't...

      SIG Quality

      I wouldn't necessarily say he's allowed it to decrease. Our industry has been lucky to have survived so well for so long even in a declining economy. Ron has had to balance the price of the guns with the economy and with material prices going up due to everything considered, I'd say he's done...

      First Sig- P226

      I'm glad to see the article was helpful. I've worked on hundreds of Sigs and found that if you keep them well greased, they'll run like a top. The engineering is definitely there...it's up to the end user to make it last as long as possible. Scott

      First Sig- P226

      Sig makes a fantastic pistol. Their older guns are far better than current production guns because they're actually machined parts, not MIM like they are today. We've got some exciting stuff coming down the pipe for Sigs....parts for the pistols and the 556 rifle too.

      I'm looking to sell my non-rail 40S&W P229 if you're interested.

      The P6 and other older guns certainly had much smoother DA pulls, that's due to their parts being nicely machined. The modern guns coming out now utilize the MIM process for manufacturing most of the internals and that leaves a lot to be desired in the smoothness department.

      First Sig- P226

      The internal extractors are in the X-5, but I don't know if they ever improved the design to make them work better. The last X-5 that I worked on was the 9 Major Open gun for a good customer/friend of mine in NC, I replaced his slide with one for a Sport Stock P226 so I could eliminate the...

      That's known as Pretravel. There really is no way to eliminate the pretravel of the system, unless you converted it to SAO, in which case it would be very minimal.

      First Sig- P226

      The DA and SA can be smoothed out and lightened up and the reset can be reduced to less than half what it is now. Sigs are great guns, the problem is that most people don't give them the time of day because of their heavy, gritty DA and their long resets. With some work, a Sig's trigger can be...

      First Sig- P226

      The original 228s seems to have all been pretty much high quality, so I have nothing but good things to say about all of them. The X-5 line are great. The Frames, slides and barrels are all excellent quality. The internals are all MIM just like everything else, but they're still great guns.

      I found the old West German guns were best between serial number 400000 and 550000. They had the best fit and highest quality parts.
