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

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.

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
