Im thinking of picking up a .40 x-change kit for my P226 9mm extreme, Do you have any spare mags for the .40 in stock?
Would these kits work on Sig Mosquito 22LR ?
Buying a Sig Mosquito + the 9mm kit almost makes it cheaper than a straight P226R in 9mm, plus you get to shoot 22LR as well!
Saw a decent used P226 .22cal at the local gunshop the other day. Did some simple research and returned to ask some questions. Guy behind the counter was short with me and a bit of a jerk. Went to another shop and got a completely different answer....and attitude towards my question....
Question: Can you add a .40 or 9mm xchange kit to the existing .22?
Grumpy old guy says "no, never heard of such a thing....the machined tolerances are too far off".
Other guy says "absolutely. The 226 system uses the same lower receiver and can interchange the .22 up to the .40.....can't do the .45 on the same receiver".
Any thoughts?
Mosquito is a different frame, it's not a P226. People buy the 226 Classic 22 then buy the 9mm or 40 kit and it's supposed to be cheaper. Don't think there is much difference though.
In terms of a 22 pistol, Mosquito is mediocre and the 226 Classic 22 is excellent and it will accept the x-change kits. Your decision.
