SIG SP2022

[SteyrAUG]

I’ve got one that I learned to shoot on…it probably has 20k rounds through it. It sits these days, probably should replace some springs, but it’s been a great gun for the $400 I got it for 15 years ago.

One big complaint I have is the enormous slide stop/release. Very easy to induce malfunctions with the wrong grip.

People got so fixated on that "high on the bore axis" doctrine that they started riding their control features. I have a friend who always rides the slide stop on his P226 to the point it filled with gunk and it rarely works.

I had one for 6+ years, I sold it because I shot my striker pistols so much more. It was a great gun, wish I hadn't gotten rid of it

Some even say its a design FLAW. I'm not on that wagon. Because I liked SIG P guns, I learned early on how to grip the pistol to avoid not locking the slide. Its not that hard, and CAN help on other pistols (Like FNX which can give safety bite). SIG is almost the only gun that everyone can drop the slide in the fastest manner available - without using the weak hand.

Bore axis is a canard.

I've been shooting p226s since 1985 and I've never had it happen.

I have a very fat thumb, so it is very easy for it to happen to me. I usually either file down the lever, or use a p224/legion lever. I also have the issue with the 2022, and that is one of the reasons I don't own one, also, with all the p226s and 229s I have, I don't really need one.

I would have no issue toting a SP2022. It's a platform I wish Sig had developed more, but that might have made it worse given Sig's at times spotty QC.. Plus, it's understandable when TDA platforms are not the in thing now for duty use.
