10x SniperSig P220 Rimfire conversion kits
A few years ago Sig sold 22LR conversion kits for the P220 , they came with a complete slide and barrel assembly and a mag. Has Sig stopped making these? I saw a few on Flea Bay for $600 plus!... anyone? Thanks.

.38supersigI found one of the P220 kits about seven years ago.
The prices had went up quite a bit when I wanted one for a P226.

bustabuddyOne just sold on GB for $400 and had a lot of bidders. Had 3 mags.

TN MarkI don't think Sig makes any of the .22lr conversion kits available any longer. Most online auctions go for as much or more than a new high quality .22lr semi auto pistol. If you can get one for $400 you'd be doing very good. I've seen some go for over $700. Crazy. I stopped tracking them a couple months ago due to the high prices being asked.
If I could get one at a decent price for the non rail P229 I would. But again, they went out of production a long time ago. I'm going from memory here but I thought Sig blew out their inventory of these at around $180. So, yeah, a used kit for twice their original selling price? I'm not in need of another .22lr so no, I'll wait.

72BruinsDon’t bother, especially at the current prices. I’ve had a couple of these kits for my non-rail P229. One with threaded barrel, one without. Even with the recommended higher velocity (pricier) ammo, had too many FTF. Having to clear FTFs so often took the fun away. Sold both kits.

bustabuddySomeone here gave a heads up about the factory selling them many moons ago. Probly 8-10 years back. I grabbed a P226 kit for $175 plus nominal shipping.

rscalzoThe 220/226/229 22lr conversions kits were made here in NH. One of the few 22lr products made by the company.
They stopped production a few years back and sold off a large part of the inventory in the Pro Shop at rock bottom pricing.

TN MarkAt the current selling prices of these kits, I'd guess Sig wishes they could find several thousand kits in the warehouse.

shkuhnPicked one up in 2017 when sig had them for $150. I only ever used it once, but it was flawless with some browning ammunition that I had.

RinehartI found a new one about four years ago for less than $200 that was NIB. I didn't use it until about a year later-
I kept having occasional FTF issues. Took a close look at it and it appeared as if the recoil spring was waaay too strong. I ordered the proper Sig 22LR recoil spring for around three bucks and ever since it eats any 22LR with no issues.
We've used it quite frequently since ammo became scarce. If you have one I recommend getting the 15+1 round magazine modification. (Beware of unfriendly state laws).
The mag modification kit sells for around $13 bucks.

BB61I have one. It runs well if clean and well lubed. My PPQ 22 is much more reliable.
