Do you want metal?

Do you want metal? Yes and no. There is always the aftermarket to provide something like a metal guide rod and along with it the worry of possible accelerated wear on internal components. I have no idea whether or not that is even a possibility with the Sig Pros but I do remember seeing CZs develop some heavily worn internal parts just from switching to a steel rod from a plastic one from the factory. If Sig started packaging up Pros with metal rods I was going to snag one from the factory but since they're apparently not, nor in the hundreds of thousands that are out there in the wild already, I'm okay with the plastic rod for now. For you guys that swapped out yours, which one did you go with? |

I swapped all mine out with metal. My 226, 220, and 2022. Now the 226 legions are shipping with metal.
I don't shoot them a lot so I'm not worried about it at all. I forget where I got it from. I'm sure they are available on eBay. I probably got mine at the time just by googling it. |

Yeah there's a bunch of small shops on Ebay and Amazon pumping them out for like 20 bucks a rod. There was one gentleman that people on here linked to but he gave it up after he was diagnosed with cancer, forgot his name though.
Just curious, are there any long term wear points from using a metal rod instead of plastic that anyone has noticed? |

For you guys that swapped out yours, which one did you go with? Change your recoil spring often on round count schedules wear on a pistol is not a huge concern. You will go broke before you wear most modern pistols unless you intentionally neglect and abuse the pistol. Quoted:

I picked one up from a company called Squirrel Daddy (lol) for nine bucks. For that amount it's totally worth it, thanks for the help all.
Now if anyone is aware of a company that makes a drop/offset kydex holster for a PRO with a threaded barrel I'd be all set.

I imagine Blade-Tech can make one for you. I'd call em. They list the 2022 in their list of guns.

They list the Gen 2 PRO for the regular OWB and that's without a protrusion for the threaded barrel, but I can always a passage for the barrel (I've done it before).
I'd like to get a duty holster from them but they only offer them for the Gen 1 pistols which is nuts as they haven't produced those for what, five years? Maybe I can get them to start making them? BTW HERE is the guide rod I got, again only $9 shipped. |

I sold one at work last week and the guy wanted me to show him how to tear it down. It had a plastic rod. Don't know the manufacture date though.

Came in a week ago! I just bought the same thing but with the addition of the stingray loop. I contacted them about altering the holster for threaded barrels and they will in fact do it, just leave a comment before checking out that you need the bottom left open for the extra barrel length. I thought that was pretty cool. How you like it? |

I also have a Blade Tech nano IWB for it that I've had for a little over a year. It's also awesome. This pistol started out as my wifes as a inside the home piece .... I've taken it over and use it for CC and range work... rendering my M&P and Glock safe queens!
