I shoot a lot of rounds through my Sig P220 during the year. But now, I'm shooting a .22lr Browning Buck Mark over the winter. Yesterday, while handling my P220, I noticed the trigger wasn't resetting. Closer inspection showed it was the hammer that wasn't resetting. If I dry fired the gun, the trigger would not rest, but if I touched or tapped the hammer, the trigger would reset, as would the hammer. Tore down the gun and found the culprit! Broken hammer rest spring. Glad I keep a spare parts kit on hand!  This message has been edited.

In my experience a broken P220 hammer reset spring is the most common parts failure in SIG Classic line pistols. Fortunately it’s not a critical failure, but it’s definitely a good idea to have spares. “I can’t give you brains, but I can give you a diploma.” — The Wizard of Oz This life is a drill.

That’s good to know. I’ve broken a few trigger bar springs, but this was a first. Several years ago I had multiple springs from TGS. By multiple, I mean several of each spring I the gun. I’m going through my kit to make sure I still have several of each.

I have many parts for my 229s. So far, the only time I've needed any is when I have dropped a small part and it does a vanishing act. I still need to get spare parts for my 320s, and then 365 when they become available. Sic Semper Tyrannis If you beat your swords into plowshares, you will become farmers for those who didn't!

I will not reveal how much money I have willingly given TGS for spare parts. That said I should inventory. Am due for some hammer springs to be replaced. I suspect that it will cost me more but find if I have a part I don’t need it and if I don’t I for sure will need it, is a universal law | |||
