redleg said:And all SIG frames were reengineered as a result. So frames with serial numbers above U200,000 don't suffer from the same problems. SIG also recommends changing the springs every 5,000rds which is a good policy for any gun.
I have run half a dozen P226s to approximately 100,000rds on the range. The norincos never get close.
That would mean approx. 16.5 thousand rounds per gun.
I believe that.
Yet the NP 22 that I bought last year has now reached 9000 rounds, also
with help from wife and local RCMP. Still the same shape. So far-so good.
Should it brake down I shall mention it in this forum and with details.
If I can, I would like to shoot it to pieces before the warranty year is over.
Just to settle the question for myself.
By the way, I am very pleased to tell you that my "forced" experiment with
a steel insert into the right frame rail (original broke off) still works very well
It proves one thing: The Sig Sauer does as well with only half the right
frame rail and doesn't seem to depend on the total rail length for accuracy.
You wished me well for my "experiment" . It happened, thank you .
