I had a few questions for the Sig P220 10mm owners here… Can you or have you shot 40cal/40s&w ammo through your sig 10mm? Any issues? Are the 10mm mags for the P220 just 45acp mags with a modified mag lip? ________________________ "The Revolver -A more elegant weapon from a more civilized age." | ||

I don't own one but you can see the differences in the magazines on the sig website. https://www.sigsauer.com/magaz...tols.html?model=1609 | |||

It will usually work, but you'll be relying on the extractor to hold the shorter .40 S&W to the breech face; you won't be headspacing on the case mouth. Some say it's OK, some say it's dangerous. I like to err on the safe side of things with my guns and won't do it. "If Gun Control worked, Chicago would look like Mayberry, not Thunderdome" - Cam Edwards | |||

I would not shoot .40s through it but that is just me. I use 220 .45 ACT mags with zero issues. https://gregcotellc.com/cart/s...458-44522-p-543.html ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad.

I have on occasion and had zero issues. As to is it safe? That is up to you to decide. _________________________ "Ladies and Gentlemen - The Fit has hit the Shan!" | |||

It seems like you risk the possibility of catching the lip where the 10mm case mouth would headspace. Short jump so maybe low probability. IDK... I wouldn't put this in the same class as shooting 38s out of a 357, where in both cases the barrel is set up to accept a bullet making the jump. The 10mm mags have a rib that slightly narrows the inside of the mag vs the 45. But given Black's experience, I might try some factory 10 round 45 mags to see if they work OK. At the end, you're still putting ammunition through a barrel that it wasn't chambered for, so if anything goes wrong, it's on you.

I never tried the 10 rounders only the 8 rounders. I think folks may have had some issues with the 10 rounders if I recall correctly. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad.
