Anyone have one? What do you think about them? Other than being an sig. I like the optic and suppressor ready idea and the 20 round mags. Thoughts? |

I like mine. Some magazines work better loading 15 instead of 20, at least in my experience. I shoot it with a Holosun 507 and YHM Phantom. Super fun to shoot. Some had had an issue with light primer strikes. Not sure if this has been fixed with newer models or not. I’ve had mine for a few years now. If you have this issue, follow this fix. I haven’t had a light strike since putting a spacer in. https://youtu.be/4VNqR9ltHnk?si=oft8G85eX-ftUOhE |

I bought one after seeing a lot of negative reviews. What I noticed about the reviews was that was lot of them seemed to concern issues I felt were from neophytes not knowing how to load a rimmed cartridge magazine and also running shit ammo like Remington shit-fire ammo. So, when I brought the gun home I cleaned the ever loving hell out of it, especially the bore. I then lubed the gun AND the magazines. The mags I hit with Teflon dry lube AND a drop of oil on the front and back of the follower. The gun was hit with CLP and a drop of Lucas gun oil here and there, particularly the slide rails....then I soaked it in Teflon, too! Let me say again that I cleaned the ever loving shit out of the bore and left a light coat of oil in the bore. Gun ran like a damn BEAST! Super reliable and super accurate. The only malfs I had were from Winchester shit-box M222 that my dad brought along. That being said, I ran quite a bit of it and the gun actually ate 99 percent of it right up. NOTE: for shit ammo I only loaded the gun to 15 rounds. But, shit...15 round of 22 RF in a pistol is pretty sweeeeet! This gun is a little beast! I love it...and I absolutely HATE everything Ron Cohen related. But this thing rocks.  |

| I bought one a couple months ago and it was an absolute jammatic. It would jam consistently with all 3 mags that it came with until the mags got down to about 10 rounds or so and it would run the rest just fine. I watched all the YouTube videos to make sure I was loading the rounds correctly. I would load one round at a time and only pull the follower down enough for the one round to fit. Rounds would just not feed. They'd run up the feed ramp partially and get jammed into the top of the barrel hood. I called Sig and explained the issue so they issue the repair tag and I sent the gun back. I got it back in less than two weeks and the repair slip said nothing was wrong with the pistol and they couldn't replicate any malfunctions. I tried the gun again and still had the same issues. I had my wife take a video of me shooting the gun and showing the constant malfunctions. I emailed the video clip to the person who emailed me the shipping label. I never got a response back. So that was enough to turn me off from Sig big time. I ended up taking a big hit on selling it, but I wouldn't feel right not letting the new buyer know it was problematic. |

I have had one for a few years now. I posted about it here a couple of times when I first got it and was super enthused by it, putting a bunch of different types of ammo through it and testing it. Since then I have shot the snot out of it. It did require some tweaks to get it to 100% initially. I had to shim the hammer spring to get reliable ignition. I had to file the slide stop to get it to engage as it should. You have to load the mags properly as has been state above already. The 25-round magazines never worked reliably for me, but the 20s were fine. Once that was done it ran fine for several thousands of rounds. May very well be in the 10s of thousands. It was not uncommon for me to take it to the range and put 500-750 rounds through it once or twice a month with no problems. This year it started developing feeding problems. I replaced the recoil spring, but it didn't help. I tried the "HV" ammo recoil spring, got worse. Tried the lightened recoil spring from ISMI, even worse. New factory spring back in, slightly better but still not good. The mag springs may be worn out at this point but I haven't found them for sale anywhere. The plastic mags will bow and swell out on the sides over time. The passive safety levers inside the slide's breech block are a highly convoluted and piss-poor design. There is one lever that is pushed aside by the hammer as it strikes the firing pin, which allows the firing pin to move forward. That lever broke quite a while ago. There's a second lever that is pushed up by a plunger that is supposed to block the hammer if the gun is out of battery. It's a practically microscopic design and I can't imagine it would survive many wacks, but fortunately in normal operation it shouldn't have to. Both of these could be replaced by a typical plunger-style FPB activated by the trigger bar like essentially every modern handgun has but for some reason Sig went with the convoluted and extremely delicate mess the P322 has instead. The rear sight is cheesy as hell but I can't say it doesn't work but adjusting it can be finicky. Overall, initially I was really enthused by the 322, but I've since soured on it a bit. It's not a piece of crap, but it's also not a "lifetime" design like a Ruger or Buckmark...something you can have for decades and shoot indefinitely. It WAS a LOT of fun when it worked well, but frankly I think I've just worn it (or at least the mags) out. I could buy more mags and see if it works well again, but I think I'm just going to hold out and try a different double-stack .22LR. |

I hate it when this happens. I had the same thing happen with a Springfield Loaded 1911. I will say that THAT gun taught me a hell of a lot about 1911s. I am the one that finally got it to work, under the tutelage of a really really good 1911 guy. I have never purchased another Springfield firearm UNLESS it's made in Croatia. I am so sorry you had a such a bad experience with your Sig.  |

I can relate and I am sure we’ve all experienced this on others things. Lots of things are good new and you are so happy and give glowing reviews. Then long term use kicks in, issues comes up, then you find out they didn’t design it to be end user serviceable or simple to service. You can’t find parts. Not to mention Sig always discontinuing products. How many .22 pistols have Sig dropped before not to mention other guns. You are right. This thing is not a lifetime gun like a MK4 or a Buckmark. |

I went and looked and handed one. Didn’t really get me excited. Very light though. I honestly like my kimber.22 upper on a 1911 better. |

Was excited to buy one as research revealed nothing but positive reviews. Bought one and ran into issues. Posted and received a lot of feedback on how you have to be very very very careful when loading the mags. Quick summary. Shoots great. Accurate. Fun to shoot. If I known about how you have to be meticulous in loading the mags, I would have not purchased it. |

Not sure if general issue or related to the mag. Getting better at loading as was able to get a little faster than previous range trips and no issues. Long story shot. It does take some practice loading the mags and am getting quicker. It is fun and accurate. Have yet to run it with a suppressor yet. |

I've got one. It's been solid and I've had no real issues. In fact, I had it out the other day with a couple of 1911s I was messing with. I polished off a tub of Federal bulk ammo I had. Probably a couple of hundred rounds with no malfunctions. It's one of those guns I don't take out very often, but when I do I remember how much fun it is. |
Nobody is coming. It's up to you.

It is fun and accurate. Have yet to run it with a suppressor yet. Hit the range again this weekend. Loading of the mags is getting easier each time. Only 1 feed issue, but not due to loading the mag but instead a random feed issue. Liking this pistol a little more with each trip to the range. |

I’ve had one for a few years. I like the feature set (easy to suppress, optic ready, higher mag capacity) but I don’t really like the trigger and I’ve had reliability issues. Even loading mags carefully its got a bad habit of jamming. I’ve had fun with it, but it’s a gun I’d sell. |

Also the Armory Craft adjustable trigger really helps vs the cheap spoungy feeling stock trigger, highly recommend it. |

I have about 2k rounds through my p322. Its accurate and reliable. I kept the 322 and sold my taurus tx22. If however I was buying today, id buy the Taurus over the Sig. The Sig is a better gun, but not twice the price better. |

The Sig is a better gun, but not twice the price better. 3rd week in a row at the range and each week I post a reply here.😁 Will say it is well balanced and one of my more accurate .22s The week was the first time using a suppressor. Still accurate but a bit more Smokey that other pistols. Could be the other .22s are on 10 rounds and the 322 is going through 20-25 rounds. |

| I have about 400 rds thr mine, not really enough to judge anything at this moment, but so far no jams. Was shooting CCI Blazers, Aguila Super Extra, and Federal Auto match. It ate everything. The gun is suprisringly very accurate. |

It’s accurate and not picky on ammo. Sig discontinued it. If I break something like a firing pin the rifle done. Already knowing that I somehow convinced myself into buying a Sig 322. |

Now that I have the Sig 322 and seeing how a double stack .22 mag works, I can see why it’s an issue if its not loaded carefully. You just can’t pull the loading tab all the way down and quickly drop rounds in like you can with the MKV mags. Besides, the MKV is a target gun. If one wants a higher capacity .22 there are plenty of options. Just understand that those double stack .22 likely all have there own quirks with loading. I for one think the MKV is fine the way it is. If Ruger wants to do a double stack MKV it should be done right with a new ground up design and not trying to shoe horn a double stack grip into the current MKV upper. I understand a lot of people want it that way so they can just slap in a double stack lower, but I don’t think that’s going to work out to well. |
