| I just bought a new 2022 and I love it, but I was wondering if there is anything I should watch for with this gun. I read somewhere about a pin that tries to walk out but I cant find it now. Thanks |

Apparently I flinch more with mine than other handguns. I'm dead nutz on with my 1911, but I think the weight and size of the gun (fills my hand, but light as heck) makes it flip more than I'm expecting, so I'm hitting low and a bit left with it. If I slow down and think about it, it shoots right to point of aim. Practice, practice, practice...
Could be why you shoot better with the 226, little more heft so not as much flip. |
What Optimus said is true. Also, its a crappy design on the locking spring of the take down pin. If it ever bends any the take down pin will wonder out enough to jam the pistol ,although it will be slide retained. I was told this could happen and it did happen . Dont force the wire spring on the rod as once it bends its a floating latch with recoil. I dont think its a major problem in 9mm , but the recoil of the 40 is more. I would think that most dont have a problem with it ,but it was one of those things that I couldnt tolerate on a pistol to use for protection. The pistol shot very well with good accuracy. So, when you push the take down latch in , just dont force it and play it a little. That must be a Swiss design as the Germans know better

Quoted:
Are they still made in Germany or are they made here? To my knowledge, the poly lower/frame is made in Germany, and the rest of it's assembled here so it's easier to import. Although I've heard mumblings around that they're not making them for US sales anymore, instead concentrating on the 250 for their plastic gun. |
| The early ones have the frame made in Switzerland and then they were later made in Germany. The other parts are made in U.S.. Some of the pistols made by Sig in the U.S. are perfect. I wouldnt rule out this design as being bad because its made here and would say its a plus. The problem may be to accidently push the slide pin from the side and cause a jam or have it recoil loose if the holding pin gets bent. These pistols are in use more than most realize and I believe they were sold to the French in a large contract. They are a good value as they shoot good for what you pay. |
