Just got back my custom P220ST and decided to try it out. Had a trigger job and Mag na porting done. Also installed tritium sights, finger grove hogue grips, wolff custom gun springs, and a harrts compensator. Went over to a friend’s house to try it out on some steel reactive targets. Had a bunch of Remington Golden Saber's, Wolf .45, and some older cci/speer 200 grain hp's (flying ash trays). Both the hp loads shot fine. Head shots at 50 meters were not a problem, and there were no malfunctions. When I switched to the wolf that changed. Every other round or better failed to extract. Accuracy was fine though. Any ideas what is up with the wolf? I switched to Winchester in the meantime. 40 more a case, but it works fine. |

MY GOD! DO NOT SHOOT WOLF AMMO IN THAT BEAUTIFUL GUN! Does the Wolf ammo use a steel case like their rifle ammo? If so, I would NOT use it at all. I recommend you shoot only UMC, American Eagle or USA brands (the big 3 generic brands)or better in that thing. Did you try the gun before doing the mods? Just curious. I'd shoot the gun without the mods and then add them one at a time and note any improvements/problems. AWESOME gun though. I'd love to have one. I think Sigs are the best combat pistols made. |
| Wolf runs fine in some high quality guns and not so well in others. Has mostly to do with chamber and breech dimensions of individual guns vs so-so QC of specs on the ammo. I run copius quanities of it through my AKs, but refuse to use it in my handguns or my ARs. I would stay away from it in the 220 if it were me. |

I recently took my new 220ST ( w/ night sights ) to the range. What a great gun! The out of the box trigger was outstanding, I was able to get pretty good at the double action first shot after about 100 rounds. I had a 50 shot group at 15 yards be about 6 inches. Not bad! A great gun! |

I have the standard P220 (there is nothing standard about a SIG). I love it more than my wife. Your rig sounds nice! We want to see pictures! JCraig www.mcw-tech.com |
I'll check into posting pix. Never really looked into it but have needed to do it a few times so I should learn. And yes, you don't drop over a k on a pistol without it hitting that sweet catagory...;) |
