Here's the pistol I got today:

Sig P220 carry. Single action only like a 1911 and it has the SAS (Sig Anti Snag) treatment- basically the frame has no light rail and the slide is smoothened.

 

 

First thoughts on it? Love my S&W M&P Shield 9. Have thoughts to in the back of my mind to sell for a profit. My brother has seen that they are going used more than New MSRP since they aren't satisifying demand.

 

I was luckily, I happened to call the first store in Town that got them, who were open on a Sunday, I got the only two they had...w as only planning on one for the wife when I went. During checkout a few people had asked for them too, seemed slightly put out when the guy said "we just got them....and they sold to these people". Made me feel good About my purchase :P

This is what I wrote on another site-

 

I was able to pick up this pistol from the dealer this morning. Came back home and cleaned/lubed it and made some lunch with the intention of shooting it tomorrow as I had chores to do today. Well I got antsy and brought it to the range this afternoon. My apartment can wait another day to be cleaned!

 

First off, I did previously own a P220R Carry SAO that I bought in 2009 and sold a year later. It had some feeding issues that eventually seemed to be fixed by Sig but I did not keep it. Compared to that pistol, this one now has the external extractor compared to the internal one on my last Carry (if memory serves there was some speculation that the internal extractor was causing some of the feed issues on those pistols back then). Also, the grips are much smoother- my last one had fairly aggressively textured grips that I really liked, these are smooth and don't work as well as I'd like. I may see if the old style is available and compatible with this one.

 

Anyhow, on to the range. I shot about 200 rounds today, most of which was the Remington UMC I bought for the last Carry and it never seemed to feed well. Also ran through maybe 20-30 rounds of WWB and one mag worth of some Cor Bon +P JHPs I found in a "loose round" box in the back of the safe. The gun shoots great overall. The trigger reset seems a bit long but I have been shooting my Glock heavily the past few months so I am probably just used to that. When I did not allow the trigger to reset and I tried to fire I realized I still have a flinch I need to get rid of but overall I did okay.

So the UMC didn't feed well in the old gun,or the new one also? Assuming the old one. I ran 150 through my Wifes shield without a hitch.

 

I doubt your flinch was as bad as the guy I shot next too at the range last time. The guy seemed scared of his XD9. He was absolutely terrified of the sound of my XD45. anytime my wife or I shot it, he got to the point he just sat down and waited until we were reloading or started with our 9's again.

 

Dear Lord, please don't ever let that get in a situation where the guy Has to use his gun anywhere but a range.

No, this gun ate everything I fed it. I used to shoot much more often, I'm just trying to get back to where I used to be or close to it. Like I said, the longer reset was what messed me up the most.

That's why I haven't done my tint. I've already gotten a ticket for no front plate and tinted tails

I have the shipping label in my email. I have the box. But with no ambien and not getting to sleep until 8 am its hard to get things done. I woke up at 3:30 PM by my brother calling me. I had to get him from school

We had a low of 7F last night, when I hopped in the truck this evening to go to the store it didn't fire up as quick as usual. I'm going to hope it's just that everything's cold and not that the SuperStart battery that came with the truck is dying. Cranked up some tunes and cruised.

I'm glad it doesn't get that cold here. Temps dropped by 10 degrees here and my back was killing me. Coldest I had my truck was 18F

Didn't do anything with my truck, including work. Little issue with current medical problems. Asthma sucks, maybe tomorrow truck will see some use.

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
