Sig P226 center fire conversion kit

I'm assuming you've got the P226 Classic .22 and not that cheap Swiss Arms .22 that looks like a P226.
The kits are worth it whether you're converting from a rim fire or another centre fire calibre, they include the slide, barrel, springs and 2 magazines. This way you can use adjustable target sights for the rim fire and night sights for centre fire if you desire.

While the conversion kits are not cheap and sometimes hard to come by, they are worth the expense. Their most significant advantage is that they are not considered to be a firearm, so you can buy one and immediately start to shoot it without having to register it with the CFO.
SIG P226 frames are all mechanically identical (save for special editions such as LDC, DAK or SAO versions). Whether you have a 9mm, 357 SIG, 40 S&W, or 22LR, you can mix and match any standard P226 frame to any slide/barrel assembly with 100% reliability and function, and only you will know the difference.
Conversion kits come with only one magazine.

Almost right, the DAK is identical to the DA / SA frame, just a few different parts in the trigger group. We have swapped over many DAK to DA / SA and DA / SA to DAK versions, no problem. SAO and LDC allow for the single action only SAO parts to be fitted, but will still accept both DAK and DA / SA parts no problem. This can been seen with the Sig X5 all-round, it's DA / SA and will accept the SAO parts to be converted to a single action only gun too. The new Sig X5 X Series frames will not accept an original X5 slide.

The Sig conversion kits are just a spare barrel/slide assembly and should function perfectly on your frame. I've just acquired a 9mm kit, but my .40 cal pistol is away for servicing and I haven't fired the 9mm kit yet. Considering the difference in cost between 9mm and 40S&W ammo, the kit will pay for itself as time goes by. I also like the .22 conversion kits...I have one for my P226 and P220...they save me lots of money too.
