Just picked up a new one today and am excited to get to the range. My question is how can I tell when it was made? I heard the early ones were problimatic. Thanks.

| I dont know about dating them but I do know mine will only run on CCI ammo which the SIG manual tells you to use. I tried Winchester and Federal and she won't run on either. Using the CCI ammo she has run flawlessly. I have seen several threads over the years where it was said that All auto .22 pistols can be finicky. |
| Picked up my new reverse 2-tone yesterday and put a quick 100 rounds through it at the range. CCI mini-mags as recommended, and kept the installed "white" spring in it. Not one problem, Accuracy is so far not impressive but I've got more work to do to get a true picture. DA is smooth but long and strong. It's fun so far and I look forward to trying some Federal wally-mart bulk pack through it once it's broken-in. BTW...paid $320 with tax and transfer out the door. |

Mine is getting better with a little work and some break in. I never did buy CCI Stingers as I could buy another gun at what 1000 of those cost. Remington Hi-Speed I bought from the CMP work very well, Winchester Wildcats almost as well. The trouble is the pistol requires ammo with a minimum muzzle energy to function. Those hot CCI Stingers have it, same with high speed 40 grain ammo, but not the bulk standard velocity stuff you can buy for 9-10 bucks a brick that also shoots well in a Ruger MK1. FWIW, that bulk Federal stuff at 9 bucks a brick I bought for this gun shoots ~2 MOA through my 1922 vintage Winchester 52 from prone - I mean 15 rounds within a 2 1/2" circle. |

Break it in with the CCI mini mags probabaly 300 to 500 rounds then it should eat anything you feed it. I have one gun that I used the CCI's the break in and a 2nd that I used Remington Bulk 550 pack for break in. The CCI;s went a little quicker. After 55 rounds clean them and they SHOULD shoot what ever. I use the Remington 550 bulk pack in them now. I only have .22 bulk ammo problems now. They have close to 7000 rounds throught them between the 2 and they run like a champ. I did find out that they might not work with any subsonic ammo. A guy at the range had some that woulnt work in his GSG so he gave it to me. I tried a clip and it was a single shot handgun. MAHA |
