P226 Questions

invalid@example.com (dfw_cheesehead) — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 09:45:16 +0000

Evening all. Newbie here with a question in regards to some internal upgrades. I’ve searched and haven’t found an answer. So I just purchased Grayguns enhanced trigger system and their custom strut system. I’m was wanting the short trigger rest from Graygun as well but currently out. Anyone know if I could use the Sig short trigger rest with the Graygun mods? Or should I hold off and wait for them to restock I?

I enjoy similar threads on a couple of my car forums (and I have found that many car enthusiasts enjoy guns too) and I didn't find one here, so thought I would give it a go and see if other members might like it too. All Sigs welcome!

I am mainly a recreational shooter and sometime casual/novice competitor - and of course home defense. I do enjoy "tuning" my range gun - a P320 XFull in 9mm. I've put 500+ rounds through it so far, and previously added a Romeo-X Pro optic, Sig OEM...

First wheel gun, and it’s ridiculous…

invalid@example.com (-Shack2-) — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 05:56:28 +0000

If you know me, I like to stretch out my pistols to 100 yards, because it’s fun. Well after researching what calibers are best suited for long range shooting, the 9 and 45 don’t usually get mentioned. The general consensus, from my limited research, always “revolves” around the 44magnum(edit- and similar large calibers, the revolver is often mentioned, primarily for the trigger). So that’s what I got. Ruger Redhawk, 7.5 inch in 44 magnum. It’s a large weapon… haven’t shot it yet.

Not the best looking. Not your favorite. Not the most expensive.

Just your latest. And, it could be from today, yesterday, last week, last month, last year or several years ago.

New Sig 516 G3 "Mohawk" Piston AR-ish

invalid@example.com (Lancer L5 AWM) — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 05:13:10 +0000

For those of us who love the Sig 516 Piston AR, Sig is bringing the new Sig 516 G3 Mohawk.

The "516 G3 Mohawk" has the ambi slide control like the SPEAR LT, a non-reciprocating side charging handle in addition to the ambi AR charging handle, all other controls are ambi. Surprisingly, the "516 G3 Mohawk" does not have the SPEAR LT's folding stock- probably Sig's plan to sell that as an optional accessory, dunno.

Unlike the existing 516, the new one has a taller space/rail...

Show us your oldest gun

invalid@example.com (martin08) — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 03:40:18 +0000

Mine is from ca. the 14th to 16th century, covering the Yuan to Ming Dynasties of China.

The back story is that it came back from Vietnam to the U.S. with a G.I. from Madison, ME. around 1970.

It's an eight shot repeater, called a Handgonne, or hand cannon. It's ignition source was a slow-match or similar fuse.

The wooden rod, of course, is missing.

Any Thoughts about P226 XCarry Legion SAO vs P229 Legion SAO???

invalid@example.com (mcamwv) — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 02:46:01 +0000

I'm seriously thinking about making the splurge into the hammer fired Legion world (largely for nostalgia's sake but I also really want a hammer fired gun). I spent a lot of time shooting the P226 and qualified for a Sharpshooter medal with it back in the day when I was on active duty, so I've always had a special place in my heart for the P226. My last duty station in the late 90s I had a lot of time to shoot and a lot of training ammo and worked with a Marine Gunnery Sergeant who for some...

Anyone Else Having Issues Finding P211 Parts

Morning
Up until today I was a true Sig Supporter, and still am of the actual firearms. After today dealing with support, I think the actual people that are running the company have lost there way, and sometimes to me the support from a company is more important than the actual product. A product can be great such as the P211, but finding out today their product support for this firearm is extremely poor.

I need two very simple pieces, the firing pin block spring and guide. 100% my fault...

Gun safety mindset

invalid@example.com (garandman) — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 02:22:07 +0000

I think it comes down to how we think about the cause of firearms firing and what creates safe firearm usage.

It's as simple as terminology.. calling a gun firing at a time not intended either an accidental discharge or negligent discharge. It's not an accident of which I am a victim... it's negligence of which I am the cause.

Its Between basically two possible causes:

1. Evil dark Sinister forces aligned against me in a grand conspiracy

Or

2. I did something wrong.

Well, you shouldn't have two Holy Grails in the same category. But if you collect Lugers, then show that. And if you have Winchesters, which one is best? I think you get the picture.

S&W BodyGuard 2.0 vs. 2.0 Carry Comp

Question for those who have handled both the SW BodyGuard 2.0 and the BodyGuard Carry Comp. Is there that much difference between the two?

I've got the standard 2.0 for warm weather carry but the Carry Comp has caught my attention. Just not sure if the compensator has the great of an impact and the slightly larger footprint is noticeable when carrying. It's what? About half an inch longer but weighs damn near the same as the non-comp version?

The standard 2.0 is a decent little shooter but...

Has anyone detail stripped their GTO yet?

invalid@example.com (SimonRL) — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 01:10:24 +0000

I was cleaning my GTO too late last night and got confused and managed to install my recoil rod upside down. Now I can’t get the slide off, or all the way on, and there is zero access to the rod and spring. If I could get the comp off I might be able to get to it, but of course I can’t get it to clear the frame. I have no problem taking a 2011 down to the bare bones, but Sig has bastardized the deaign and done its own thing and I’m reluctant to screw it up further and void my...

My gto experience

invalid@example.com (k9kodi) — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 00:57:49 +0000

So I shot the gto for the first time this weekend.
Very, very lovely. Probably the smoothest pistol I own, id def say a peer to the staccato xc.

I will say my ******* was so giddy, the day I got it I had to take it apart and I absolutely put the guide rod in upside down and I thought I was ******!!!!! Talk about ****** bc I thought id have to send it back to sig or a gun smith but I figured it out.

I cannot wait to top it w a red dot and see how well we do

AR-9 to buffer, or not to buffer?

invalid@example.com (Trukinbear) — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 00:49:57 +0000

My latest project will be a 9mm upper, on a Ballistics Advantage lower. I like Bear Creek Arsenal for lower cost builds, and they have two competing side charging 9mm uppers - buffered, and bufferless - at almost the same price. I'm not building a short pistol, but rather a full sized PCC without a folding stock. Is there any other reason to choose the bufferless upper, or advantage I'm not seeing? Otherwise I just do a standard buffer upper.

Sorry not a "Gun" project,
But it is related to some of the gun work that I do.
I did these Zippos at the request of my skin supplier in Texas.
They are all genuine snake skin from the Great State of Texas. Western Diamondback, Copperhead, and Cottonmouth/Water Moccasin.
I have done hundreds of these over the years, but this is my first go with the Copperhead and Cottonmouth. 80% of what I have done is Diamondback, and 10% Python

"It saddens me that the gun community has developed its own form of “cancel culture” where a person can no longer express an opinion without being shouted down. It seems social media has brought out the “ugly” in people. These attacks go beyond the opinion itself and attack the person, in some cases trying to ruin their reputation.

P239

invalid@example.com (EZ Money) — Mon, 08 Jun 2026 23:47:32 +0000

I scored this sweet P239 from a LGS today. It had a $600 price tag but I traded a Mossberg shotgun and a SP2022 for it. It's 40 s&w with a SBU ser# prefix. I read a little bit about that prefix and it's a US made frame during the time period when some P239 frames were still coming from Germany. I think it was 2005- 08 or 09. The barrel doesn't have a lot of smiley faces and the frame rails have almost not wear. I think the yellow stuff is grease from the factory. I'm totally happy with the...

Most Recent Non-SIG Purchase

What non-SIG firearms are you guys buying these days? I've gone on a recent non-SIG spree and I'm curious what else people are picking up.

I was able to talk myself out of it for a little over a day, but then I was up late and couldn't stop myself from ordering the Rideout Arsenal Dragon that just opened production orders at Show Show last week.

Here's the spec I ordered. Now just to wait for 6-9 months.

Sig Pistols in .40 Cal. What happened?

So I'm on the sig web site looking for .40 cal pistol options for a friend who doesn't want to buy a 9 mm of any kind.

Am I missing something or did Sig stop offering .40 cal pistols?

Good afternoon!

I recently purchased a surplus Sig Sauer P228 from Atlantic Firearms.

I'm wondering if I got lucky and got an Israeli import. It's on the left side of the trigger guard.
