why do the Stainless models have more moving parts then the others? ive been looking at the 220ST. and have herd about the parts. thanks everyone |
some one said it on here awhile ago,and i asekd them never got an answer back. and then i saw a pic of a 220 and a 220 st with the grips off. its got like a block it looks like? |
Where did you get this info? I've owned a regular 220 and still own a EL220(ST) and the same parts move. The slide are different, my regular 220 was a 1995 model that had a removable breech block and my 2004 model EL220 has a solid stainless slide. The frames have the same identical number of parts. All new 220s and 220STs have the newer style slides. |
it was something in the grip on the butt end that i saw. |
Maybe you are referring to the mainspring assembly? I know that I have 2 P229s and the older one uses a longer mainspring whereas the newer one uses a shorter mainspring and has a plastic block under the spring. Are the two pistols that you saw without the grip possibly an older P220 next to an of course newer P220ST? |
honsetly i dont know. maybe i should get both and see for my self. haha. thanks thou for the help |
Correct all the older SIGs used the longer strut, mainspring and a metal spring base with a roll pin. Newer models use a plastic base, shorter strut and spring. Older models can be upgraded to the newer style, I do find that the older ones do seem to result in smoother pulls even if both have trigger jobs. Old style long springs were 24lbs and newer shorter ones are 21lbs. I use 18lb and 19lb springs in SIGs with either type. 17lb springs on competition guns only. |
do you know what year they did all this? |
we have a 220 i dont know from what year. it came in a gray box. not the blue ones now |
