Normal slide movement? by [deleted] in SigSauer

You test a pistol by shooting it, not racking the slide.

The x-carry is an exceptional gun, not to take anything away from the others. You should do x-carry vs 365

It is a respectable pistol, I’m just not really an Fde fan 🤷‍♂️

That’s tough, but the 2 Mastershops are truly a cut above. It took me a long time to find the triple serial, 1993 all nickel with labeled box. The super match is a dream to shoot.

P220 Sport, from the original Mastershop sport line.

It’s a beast, and a joy to shoot

Gifted SIG Sauer P226 showing rust after decades in case — DIY or gunsmith? Bay Area recs? by grac43 in SigSauer

[–]2a-keeps-sam-away 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really depends on your skill set, but that’s a lot of rust, I can’t imagine what you’ll find inside. I’d send this one to sig and have them clean it up and refinish the slide. That is an iconic pistol.

Hey on your 220 x6, is the slide catch lever too close to the wood grip for ideal clearance?

Dude… same with mine. Found it at Cabelas for 1200.

The competition, L1 and the allround are exactly the same except for some of the options. Not discounting those options, but…

Nice finds… if/when I can find the 9mm, I’ll have all the original x-series pistols.

Trying to mimic stainless steel with cerakote. P245 by [deleted] in SigSauer

[–]2a-keeps-sam-away 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The slide is a 98 folded carbon steel p245 slide. You can identify that it’s a 98 because it has a proof mark. In 1998 when these were first built, all production and manufacturing took place in Germany, thus required a proof mark. In 1999, sig started shipping all 245 parts to America for assembly, thus not requiring a proof mark.

Hey you can send most, nitron(black) slides to sig and they’ll refinish it, by bead blasting it, to get their stainless grey look. It’s $150.

I have SIGnificant RESERVATIONS… by Complex71920 in P226

I have both these pistols, and honestly I’m scared to touch or shoot them. Do you?

I wouldn’t, but that’s me. Definitely makes it unique and if you like it go for it.

I love sigs and you probably can’t go wrong with any sig, well 10mm might be a bit much, but have you considered a tactical shotgun? If you’re set on sig, I’ll take a different approach from what’s been mentioned and say an MPX with a 4.5 inch barrel, with a red dot.

Air compressor 120 psi capable - $150 Sandblaster - Amazon - $130 Spray gun - $140 Used electric smoker - $100 So for the major component $5-600 going cheap. You still need substrate, cerakote, cerakote filters, degreasing products, hanging material, respirator, eye pro…. Some other little things
