| I don’t know what experience you have with other pistols, but having to reposition one’s hand to be able to press the magazine catch effectively is something many people must do with many different pistols. I also don’t know if there are extended catches available for the gun, but if so that might help and be worth some research.

I can tell at sight a Chassepot rifle from a javelin. |

The P220 has a [ shaped mag catch interior that grabs the bar between the 4 front corner square holes on the magazine. The inside of the [ on the mag catch can be a bit rough, but is hard to see the actual roughness. Coupled with high spring tension on a fully loaded mag, it can make the mag release a bear to press. Take out the mag catch and LIGHTLY smooth the inside of the [ area with some 600+ grit sandpaper wrapped around a popsicle stick or something similarly thin. This should make the mag catch much easier to operate as it won't try and be so grabby on the metal edges of the magazines catch area.

I've had virtually every m model of Sig and this 220 is way harder than all the rest, and I do not have small hands. Thanks for the comment! |
