Any difference between any P226 .40 cal barrel and one on a Legion?
Want to add to my .357 Sig Legion.
Can a 9mm conversion be done with a matched slide/barrel and different mags as well?
You could ask on SIG Talk forum - lots of minutiae known there, but my knee jerk response would be that any difference wouldn't be something functional.
As for a 9mm conversion, you can get a 9mm conversion barrel and not have to spend money on a slide, or you could get the "conversion kit" (slide and barrel) - the benefit of the latter would be that the sights would be correct whereas the sights on the .40 slide might be different. I seem to recall reading that the sights for .40 are different from the sights for .357 SIG, but I am not sure about for 9mm vs. 40.
There are a number of barrel makers offering conversion barrels, such as EFK and Bar-Sto.
Again, SIG talk would get you some better answers.
FWIW - I have a converted 9mm to .40 using a slide/barrel from a .40 226 and it works just fine, and vice versa, but you will get better functioning with a 9mm magazine than with the .40 when converting from .40 to 9mm - in my experience. Ditto with the recoil spring - naturally.
The nice thing about the 226 vs the 229 is you don't have to change locking inserts when changing the slide/barrel combos, and you don't have to deal with whether the mags will fit (the older 228/229 won't take the newer 229 .40/.357 mags).
To help ease confusion, I’ve written this brief reference guide for SIG Sauer sight numbers and sight heights. Keeping them straight can be confusing, so I wrote this guide as much for myself as anyone else. 🙂 Which SIGs Use Which Heights? For classic P-Series pistols, the “general” rule for...
Hi all, Been lurking here for years when I needed to know something regarding a P239 I own and a recently acquired P365. But now I have a specific question regarding a recently acquired P226. I’ve wanted a P226 9mm for years, but I never could bring myself to put out the bucks for a new one...
