Sig Sauer .22LR Rimfire Conversion Kit

According to gunsholstersandgear.com:

Picture 4-11

The .22LR Rimfire Conversion Kit is available for the SIG SAUER P220, P226, and P229 models and feature a black hard coat anodized slide, machined from solid aluminum billet. Offered as a complete replacement assembly, the Rimfire Conversion Kit installs as easily as field stripping the pistol. Simply remove the standard slide assembly, install the “new” .22 slide and barrel assembly, and add the included .22LR magazine and you’re ready for the range.

    I absolutely LOVE the conversion kit for my 1911, I imagine this will be just as fun. It feels so funny to pull the trigger on a big .45 to only get the ‘pop’ of a .22LR.

    Hi T Bolt, I don’t remember reading about a .22 conversion! Less see some photos on the blog!

    After getting burnt by Sig on their mosquito fiasco I’ll let someone else field test their new .22

    I did mention it and put pictures of the kit on my blog months ago. Thing was, I bought the conversion kit long before I bought the pistol.

    You know how these things go….

    Ah, I must have missed it!

    Matt, I thought the mosquito was ok, and it was the Walther that was to be looked upon with suspicion. What is wrong with the mosquito?

    I can’t speak to the walther having never owned one. The mosquito when I bought it was over 400 bucks out the door brand new. After shooting several
    thousand rounds through it I’ve determined it worth about half that. Its very
    picky about ammo type. Not terribly accurate and the trigger kind of sucks. It is cheaply made and performs like it. Now if it had been 200 bucks new I would have expected some performance issues at 400 it should operate like
    a Sig should. I own a 229 ands its one of the best autos I have. I’ve notice now that mosquitoes are going for 250 or so. Thats about what they are worth IMHO.

    Thanks matt for letting us know.

    I have read many reports about problems with the Walther P22. The general consensus is that if you buy it you must be willing to fix many problems.

    I’ve owned a 229 for 2 years now and love it. I bought a Mosquito new last year (for about $250) and have put hundreds of rounds through it. The only FTF issues I’ve experienced have been with Remington brand ammo. I usually shoot CCI (preferred), Winchester and Federal; I absolutely love the pistol.

    Just picked up a .22 conversion for my P226 (9mm) and had issues with the fit. My P226 is in the serial number range U7XXXXX so it is not the issue with the earlier W. German guns. The slide fits tight and it takes excessive force to rotate the break down lever into the “assembled” position. The slide will not travel freely on the frame…the contact points are in the slide grooves about 1.5 inches from the front of the slide…will take some gunsmithing to correct. Disapointing!

    Alan, that is bad luck :( After you get it fixed, please let us know how well it works.
