P220 10mm mag release issue

I bought one of these when they first came out. As I recall there were some threads about the mag release not working entirely properly. I believe there might have been a post by Bruce Gray.

When trying to insert the magazine, i have to depress the mag release for the magazine to go in. Yes, I could try to just slam it in. Perhaps that would work, perhaps it would resolve the issue eventually. However, forcing things doesn't seem to be a good strategy as a rule.

Anyone had this issue? How did you resolve it? Might a local gunsmith be able to either reshape the mag release (assuming that is the issue) or change it out for one that works correctly. I don't really know what the issue is in detail.


I did return my P220 10mm to SIG twice. SIG replaced the magazine catch on both occasions. Third time was the charm, as I have had no further issues with the older style magazines.

Actually, the P220-10mm has been reasonably popular, enough so that it's recieving a new variant.
Stay tuned; you'll love this.

Thank-you sir! I am glad to hear the gun is selling well--both versions I have seen are excellent. This new one sounds exciting too!
