Don't be totally convinced of the reliability of the SIG pistols. Bought one (brand new, not used)
and it jams once every 20 rounds. Cleaned out the gun thoroughly, made sure the recoil spring was
installed correctly, even took apart the magazines and cleaned THEM out. Same problem. Tried five
different magazines in the gun and, still, same problem every time. Gun does not cycle properly in
that the next round gets "diagonally" stuck upwards before completely entering the chamber. Sometimes
a round isn't stripped off the magazine at all (even though the slide closes). On a lesser note, after
the last round on nearly every magazine the slide doesn't lock open.
Here's the worst part: sent the gun back to SIG and they wouldn't fix it. They acknowledge that the gun
is thoroughly clean and state that they cannot find any problem with it. Took it back to the range and the
same problem kept happening. Even had an instructor with me to tell me if I was doing something wrong; he
said I had no problems with my style. Called SIG again and they said that they won't look at the gun again
without charging me $200.

The P220 complaints(:) have been magazines that occasionally cracked at the top rear
(corrected long ago), an occasional extractor glitch, and a tendency to rust on the older
carbon steel slides

My ... complaint is the way the slide runs back and forth. If you have thick hands or grab
the gun quickly out of the holster, you may find that the slide is cutting your hand as you
fire rapidly. There is not enough protection there.

women, and many men should not buy the p232 especially in stainless. the barrel is fixed which
means the slide return spring is very strong. for most men it is very difficult to pull the
slide back against this return spring. for most women, it is almost impossible.

I don't see any details that differentiate this model from any of the others in terms of
reliability of "taking it up a notch". The god-awful finish scheme takes an already
aesthetically-challenged gun and makes it even uglier.

I bought one of these, and they SUCK. Attached it to my rifle, and the recoil made the unit unreliable.
With the unit turned on, a single shot was enough to cause it to turn off. At the range, the battery
compartment came off while firing, dumping my batteries to the floor. Got a lot of laughs over that one.
