[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Sig 220 owners ?

Posted: 5/25/2005 7:11:14 AM EDT

I'll try this here:

Do you use / or prefer Factory OEM mags or are Novak's dependable (quality?) ?

Please explain :

I have factory mags, never used Novaks.

The 220 rules.

I just have the factory mags also.

It doesn't help you any but I upped my post count by 1.

I use the used Sig magazines from CDNN.

The Pro-mag 8 rounders suck. I one once before it stopped working.

They are both good... The Novak's are GTG.

I have the Novaks and the Sig factory mags, and both have worked flawlessly for me so far.

Only use factory mags. Never had a single failure to feed.

Just bought a P220 (used), love it!
I have 4 of the factory 7 rounders, but I have 4 Novak 8 rounders on order.
I'll let you know how they function.

Ditto.

And glad to hear about the 245...I am thinking thats a summer purchase

BTW, not trying to highjack this thread...but, my 220 is an older one with the fixed front sight. Any suggestions for putting night sights on it?

I have some type of 8 round mags. The brand is not marked but they have worked well so far.

Posted: 5/25/2005 10:22:50 AM EDT

[#16]

OEM

[#17]

Never had a problem with factory mags.
Pro-Mag magazines have been nothing but trouble (8 and 10 round mags).
MecGar 7 round mags have always worked well.
ActMag (supposedly used to be MecGar) 8 round mags have worked flawlessly so far (2-3 months).
Never tried Novaks.

I just bought 4 act/Novaks for my p220, and ran rounds through them without any problems whatsoever. they were 19 bucks instead of the 35-40 that SIG mags usually go for, and though these are nickel plated steel instead of stainless, I fail to see how that will make a difference.
Bought them online from Copes distributing.

Now if i could just shoot worth a shit with my SIG...master in service rifle across-the-course and long-range, but I shoot with a pistol about like old people fuck.

Get a decent 1911 and a decent .22 (S&W 41) and shoot bullseye for a year or two, you will be good Quick.

I have a P220ST and a few Novaks. I've put about 300 rounds through 3 Novaks and never had a malfunction. Normally I never buy aftermarket mags, but I bought this P220ST used and it came with the 3 Novaks. The Novaks look equal in quality to the factory Sig mags. However, if it's for personal protection, I would only rely on factory mags for that, as you never really know what shortcuts aftermarket mag companies take.

One note: I believe the Sig 1911 .45 (GST?) comes with a Novak mag, so Sig must trust them pretty good.

I have only factory mags. They have been flawless so far. Others may be good too, but I haven't used any of them.

Posted: 5/25/2005 11:56:13 AM EDT

[#22]

Sig Mags.

Posted: 5/25/2005 12:14:45 PM EDT

I carry a P220 every day. I have a Novak stuffed in the shute and 2 factory 8 rounders on standby.

I trust the Novaks as I have shot somewhere around 800 rounds with it and the factory mags without fail. I also did my last CCW qual with it.

I trust it. Plan to get more.

I wish they would have used 1911 mags. I have tons of those.

In 8,000 rounds my P-220ST has fired, I've used both the Novak Act Mags and Sig factory mags. They all perform flawlessly. If it were me, and I needed some more mags,but didnt have much moula, I'd go with the Novak Act Mags in a heartbeat. If money was not a problem, I'd still go with the Novaks.

New P-220s will be coming with Novak Act Mags as standard.

I have a P220 with 2 factory 8 rd mags and 4 Act/Novak (2 nickel, 2 blued) 8 rd mags. Unlike many aftermarket mags, I think the Novaks look & feel virtually identical to the factory except for finish.

I have never had any problems with my Novaks after hundreds of rounds. In fact, my two Sigs are a couple of the very few pistols I own that I have never had any problem with.

That being said, I still keep the factory mags loaded with defensive ammo and use the Novaks for the range.

Sig Factory - best
Novak/MecGar - second best
Pro-Mag - Throw your money away, it'll be better in the end.

But this is just my experience with the P245.

I've still got a P220 on the list.

Posted: 5/25/2005 1:23:07 PM EDT

My factory mags won't drop free, has to do with their finish I think. Novak mags are shiny and smooth, no problems after hundreds of rounds

shameless bump

Got about 700 or so rds through my three Novaks and have had zero problems. One of the few non factory mags I trust completely

Posted: 5/25/2005 5:08:57 PM EDT

[#30]

Never tried Novaks, but his stuff is usually very good. I have used factory and Meg-Gar...all 7 rounders...with zero problems.

Posted: 5/25/2005 5:21:46 PM EDT

[#31]

I picked up one Act-Mag to see if it worked...it did.

When I went to buy more they were marked NOVAK'S, which to me added some credability.
The last one I bought was a shiny blue one for the same price, $20
They load nice, insert nice and feed great, so I put aside the factory 7 rounders only 'cause they "go with the gun" and I'll beat on the Novak's.
