I'll NEVER buy another SIG

[ohen cepel]

So, bought a new factory SIG threaded 220 barrel to go into a new SIG 220.

It doesn't fit, after 2.5hrs of stoning it I still can't get it to fit.

So, I have to pay a smith to put a $200 FACTORY barrel into their pistol?!?!?!
I don't have the time nor money for that.

I used to really like SIG but this broke it off for me. This is 2013 and it's FACTORY parts going into a new pistol. If they can't get their act together and stop wasting time having 12yr olds paint flames onto their pistols I want nothing to do with them.

I can swap Beretta barrels at will, even between calibers, same with Glock. However, SIG can't keep their production tolerances even close.

Sad. No more SIGS for me and I have been a fan for 20+ years.

Did you try contacting sig about a replacement? I love my p226 and i put an aftermarket threaded barrel into my pos mosquito without any issue.

No, didn't contact them. I'll take it to my smith to fit it. Don't want to waste more time with SIG on this. Shipping the pistol to them would cost almost as much as my smith will charge. Don't want to give them another dime now.

Should not be that much hassle for a $200 part from them to fit their pistol.

It's not like it's a hand made/fit .45.

Give Sig a chance to fix the problem before you bash them.

Is the barrel sold as drop in? As far as I know, not many are.

Sig was extra helpful with the problem I had with my 522 and had me out all new parts within a week or so. Give their service line a call

 

[ohen cepel]

No, the barrel is not sold as drop in. Takes me back to my original point though. Why, when the competition can do it can't they?

 

[NHaze]

Every Sig replacement barrel I've ever looked at online has been noted "some fitting may be required." Not saying it isn't a little ridiculous in 2013, but you might be overreacting a little out of frustration. At least give SIG a call and see what they have to say.

In any case, sorry you're having such a hard time with your swap.

Yes, I am frustrated and ranting some. Bummed that a $200 barrel and a chunk of Labor Day burned and I still have a barrel that doesn't fit into the pistol it was designed to fit into. So now, more $$ or hassle to make it right. Just not what I expect from a top tier weapon maker.

No, the barrel is not sold as drop in.

If you knew this going into the replacement, why are you so upset when it didn't drop in?

 

[Fox123]

Well it could be sold slop fit and have shit accuracy.

Contact them, their service is 100%. I have lots of Sigs. Our department has hundreds of Sigs. Great company to deal with.

 

[Name Taken]

So you knew it could need fitting?

They say it might need fitting.

You refuse to call them to fix the problem.

But yet Screw Sig?

I'm on board...what's your next buy a Glock?

 

[Seabass]

Glocks are consistently great!

 

[WheelHead]

Glocks are consistently great!

Are you a comedian? You should be....

I hate all U.S. made SIGs.

HK, Beretta, Glock, S&W, and CZ Factory Barrels generally drop in and if any fitting is needed its very minor.

Exactly

Exactly my point. In 2013 a barrel should be close to right when it ships.

 

[Flipz]

The factory Sig threaded barrel I bought for my P226 Elite dropped right in and has been flawless for thousands of suppressed and unsuppressed rounds.

 

[ohen cepel]

Maybe I got one which is out of spec, don't know. Will see what my smith says. I'm lost with it.
