Just wanted to share my new purchase from Wolverine.

This a fantastic gun for anyone looking to train on the cheap. Quality is equal to regular SIG's and leap and bounds above the mosquito.

On my first range trip I took along lots of Hi-velocity ammo of different brands (as SIG suggests) but I found it will feed ,cycle and eject every type I tried. (AE, mini mags, stingers, Win Hi-velocity, yellow jackets, Fed blue box)

After about 120 rds I had 2 FTF but was quickly rectified by giving the feed ramp a quick wipe. Ran like a top for the rest of the testing.

My sample shot right to POA out of the box, didn't even touch the adjustable sights.

One problem I have found is access to mags for this little puppy. I did find a solution for this: I found out that 226 22mags are identical to 229 22 magazines, in the body, only difference is the base plate skirt is higher on the 229 to compensate for the shorter grip frame. Both work flawlessly.

I still don't see how SIG justifies ~$50 for these mag though...

Here's some pics:

You can see the only difference in the mags:

I just sold mine and know I will be regretting it. There will be another one down the road though.
