I am seriously looking into purchasing a P220 from a local owner. My only concern is that he claims it has about 8000 rounds through it. Is there anything I should look for, or any possible replacement parts the gun might need with this many rounds? It is all original except for sights and the slide has been refinished. Any input would be helpful. Thanks. Jason |
8000 rounds? Refinished? I hope you are not paying more than $300 on that P220. My guess is that you would need to replace most of the internal springs, especially the firing pin spring, if it hasn't been replaced yet. The barrel might be serviceable for another 10,000 or so, but since the replacement barrel costing much as $150, I think you might be better off with P220 with lower round counts. |

Saw this on Sig forum and found it VERY interesting: 10K Sig Shoot Several owners on that site are optimistic about such a "low" round count. The seller has a replacement recoil and hammer spring, but has not felt the need to install them. |

Well, I shot it, loved it and picked it up. I carried all weekend while hunting, and I think I'm going to really dig this gun. Everything's nice and tight, hardly any wear, and shoots well, even with my shaky-ass shooting. I've got the full replacement spring pack, so I'll tune it up within th next 2k rounds. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v417/jasongoode/SIG%20P220/IMG_0561.jpg |
