Sigfag checking in. Got a serpa holster with my light and have been practicing draws and dry firing. Its wearing my sig in a few places. Is this the coating coming off and revealing the blue or unfinished steel? Do I need to worry about it?
Fuck it a gun thats not broke in and fire a lot is a gun unloved right? Pretty guns are safe queens.
>>30434260
dry firing ruins the pin
>>30434260
is dat a 250?
250 best pistol
The way the coating is coming off reminds me off books that have a matte finish on them but if you peal off the film it reveals the glossy finish. Thats whatevers under this finish and IDK if I should give a fuck that I'm wearing it off.

You don't need to worry about it, it's a Sig.

Oh fuck yes.
Did we just start a sig thread?
>sig thread
>>30434305
Yes. And yes. But its an E. Germany 220 so it just looks better with wear.
Ive got a gen 4 g19. Finish comes off if i look at it funny. That being said, holster wear is sexy.
That being said, off topic, will getting my slide cerakoted effect the weapon negatively in any way?
>>30434264
pls stop
Can you use the newer roll pins that come in the spare parts kit on a german p226? I noticed mine may be broken from how it walks out so I want to replace it.
>>30434260
Hit it with a bronze brush. That looks like plastic rubbing off from the holster.
>>30434264
Only on rimfires, Elmer.
>>30434497
From what I've read, you should replace the pin with the same kind of pin. If you're willing to experiment, though, try putting in a different one! Worst that happens is it snaps in the middle and you push out two halves.

God damnit why didn't I realize that. Well I don't even have to worry about it then I'll get it off next time I clean it.
>>30434447
Dude it's not the finish. I have a G4 Glock 19 as well. Just use a little gun oil and wipe it down when you're done using it.
>>30434260
>using serpa holsters
why

Neck beard will mash his favorite coach snacks into the tiniest places upon the weapon, safe queen does not.

Woof. I opted for the short barrel on the 229 elite. I have a 92FS so the full sized billet is filled.
>>30434889
At least our thread has one. Basque in its glory /k/.
What do you load your sigs with anons?
>>30434924
I pretty much only use speer lawman and 124gr hst's
>>30434930
I like the Win 124g JHP. The silver jacket looks cool impo.
>9mm Kurz shown for lack of picture but I use the same in 9x19 para.
>>30434447
That's the intended use of cerakote, so no.
>tfw just picked up my 227 tacops last week and I'm not home to post pics online
Damn does that thing fire like a dream
>>30434902
I might have to pickup a threaded barrel for it. It scratch on the slide but ehh it was used.
Needed something tan for the family.
The all black is sexy, what grips are those?
>>30434974
woof.
>I know that feeling anon
Anons have pocket knives to go along with their funs?
>>30434991
The tan is sick I like. Thats the stock grips buddy perhaps mine are different because mine is a P229 enhanced elite. Hence the beaver tail night sites and SRT.
>>30435009
That is what I thought, shame they don't make the 226 grips like those. Oh well
>>30435024
>shame they don't make the 226 grips like those.
uhh
>>30435024
Yeah Sig pisses me off like that. Theres a p226 and a p226 legion and mk25, like wtf why don't you just take the best of all those guns and put it in one. So many variations its sort of annoying.

Hornady Critical Duty 135gr +P
Probably gonna switch to Critical Defense in the P938, read some interesting stuff about CDuty vs CDefense in short barrels.
>>30435212
>Whats with all the safe queens in this thread?
Back up everyone! Timmy here has a banged up trade in 228!
>>30435212
I didn't like the shape of the hornadys. Wouldn't it be more prone to feed issues?
>>30435282
I haven't had any issues with them in either gun with the crit duty. The 938 doesn't like to feed Hornady steel match, which has a similar bullet shape, but a steel case. I had consistent failures with it (luckily only bought two boxes). I've shot a lot more of the duty with no issues.
>>30434786

>>30434260
dont use a shit holster if you care about the finish
/thread
why is everyone is this thread fucking up the look of their sigs with taclights?
>>30435703
i just need night sites friend. do i send it to sig to get it done correctly or LGS?
Any holster recommendation for a p226 with tlr 1 hl?
>>30434549
and only certain rimfires at that
most modern .22lrs are designed so that the firing pin doesn't contact the breech face in the event of a dry fire
Been meaning to ask. On my new P938, it takes a lot of force to seat the mag the last .5 cm. I don't remember needing this much force when I rented one, or when I first got it. Normal or did I fuck it up?

>>30435799
I'm pretty sure it's because the mag has no more room left for space. Try pressing a fully loaded mag downwards by the first round and see if it budges, if it doesn't, that's probably the case.
I have the same problem with my M&P Shield where seating a fully loaded mag inside the gun when it's closed is a bitch to do but easy if it's down loaded one round.
>>30434843
Sig thread.
>>30435831
I tried fully loaded, fully loaded minus one, and empty; All with two different mags. Still hard to seat. Maybe field stripping will help.
>>30434260
Plastic holsters do that. It's normal.
Also, tools wear when they get used.

In my experience, Serpa holsters rape finishes. I've mostly seem them totally mangle the finish on 4th gen Glocks. After a week of carrying a brand new G32 Gen 4 in a Serpa it looked like I dragged both sides of the pistol threw gravel.
Also, in my experience, SIG's nitron finish is pretty shitty and wears easily, so there you go. At least it's not the Legion PVD, which is even worse.
tl;dr shitty holster known for damaging the finish on pistols + shitty finish known for wearing prematurely = lots of wear.
>>30434843
Reverse two-tone makes me rock hard
>>30434850
No it's not, it's obligatory with shitty Serpa holsters. I've never had kydex do anything near that bad to any pistol.
To all the anons who own E2 grips, how do you clean off the dried sweat? When I had the regular plastic grips, I would just scrub it off with water and dry it with a hairdryer no problem.
I really don't want to bother taking off the grips since I heard they're a bitch to do. Can you just use rubbing alcohol?
Has this become a Sig thread?
>>30437021
Yes, nice legion
>>30437042
What trigger is that ?
>>30437058
It's the one that comes on the single action version
Also, atf, it's not mine. I only post other people's guns online. You can't have mine
>>30437042
why not just train to cock it before you shoot it so you still have the ability to pop off a fast DA if you had to. But train to cock it instead of deactivate a safety.
>>30435723
>>30435806
Also interested in this except for an owb option.
How are safari land holsters?
>>30438366
>why not just train to cock it before you shoot it so you still have the ability to pop off a fast DA if you had to. But train to cock it instead of deactivate a safety.
How about just buy a glock since you don't want to be bothered with learning how to properly use a gun the way it was intented to? Fucking striker babby pleASE
>>30438724
Same reason I drive a stick. Glocks are the soccer vans of the gun world. Enjoy your grocery getter gun fag.
>>30438796
>Same reason I drive a stick.
Because you're illiterate, lack reading comprehension and get triggered at the thought of looking at letters?
>>30438844
Yes, and the diagram on the stick is easy to read so I do well.

Also, general question for you gunfags
(not a real handgun guy here yet, just rifles)
so call me a newfag
What Sig do you guys recommend for CC?
I've always wanted to pick one up for cheap, either Sig or a CZ clone. Any suggestions?
I'll be picking up a different one for plain range shooting so i don't need it to be an "all in one" so to speak.
>Pic not related, just looks neat.
>>30439062
Fuck idk where to even begin. What caliber? What kinda wardrobe? What kinda weather? 10rd mag limit for commie states? I like the sig single stack 9mm. I think the p225. I personally carry the P230 (P232 is the newer version). But I mean these suggestions are assuming you don't want to just carry a full sized P226/P229 cuz a lot of anons on /k/ do. They walk around with G19s and an extra mag; dont ask me why.
>>30439099
East coast, urban neighborhood areas, never gets too cold unless it's christmas. I've gotta look up the shit for North Carolina on limits.
I'd prefer something not full sized, i'm not worried about some apes coming up on me in a parking lot, just something that'll get the job done for less than $500.
Any of them have relatively flush slides on top? Snag is one of my worries.
9mil is fine since we already have a decent amount of it.
>>30439183
<$500 welp sigs are out of the picture. My experience is limited to Sig and Beretta but a P225 would be real nice for ya. But $500 is pretty cheap You're going to want to dime out at least $600 if you want a Sig. You could go used of gunbroker.com. Glocks in single stack or smaller or whatever dumb subcompact models they have might go for cheap.
>pic related, P225
Or consider getting a compact 1911. They are some of the slimmest pistols around and the single stack 45 is leaner than a double stack 9mm. Plust 45 cuz merica.
>>30439062
>What Sig do you guys recommend for CC?
Traditional DA like the P226, P228, P229 etc.
>P239 9mm
1911 style
>P238 .380
>P938 9mm
Striker fired
>P320 Subcompact
The latter being able to be swapped from a fullsize range gun to a small subcompact for conceal carry.
>>30439183
The P320 is your best bet. You can find subcompacts new for a little under $500 and has an incredibly good trigger for a striker fired gun. It also has three different grip sizes and comes with the medium size so you can either go up or down in size depending on your hands and what you prefer.
>Any of them have relatively flush slides on top? Snag is one of my worries.
The P239 has an anti snag variant with dehorned edges but prepare to spend $800 for one new.
>>30439183
Lots of people very comfortably carry these.
>>30439257
Well if that's the case then money doesn't matter. I was just hoping to keep it cheap.
And elaborate on what about 45 makes it leaner than 9mil? And i'm open to any pistol really, it's just that i've heard real good reliability with Sigs. Thanks for the input so far.
>>30439274
That 239 looks nice from the rear. i'll look the p320 up.
I've got somewhat tiny hands but thanks.
>>30439280
Got a length for that?
Jw.
All in all, thanks guys. I've just wanted some input by you folks who actually have some experience with cc handguns for a newfag like me. I appreciate the time.
Trust me i'll come back when get my choice figured out to show off like a faggot and i'll quote you boys.
>>30439343
Its not the fact that its a 45 its just how they designed the 1911. I think it has to do with modern pistol frames being designed to be easily manufactured for multiple calibers or something.
No length for that 1911 either its prolly a 3" they sell all kinds of lengths. Like I said the 1911 is just slender, the way the designed it I guess.
>>30439343
Just to give a bit more info on the P239. It's way too big and heavy for what it is (an 8+1 round 9mm) and it is outclassed by the more modern conceal carry oriented handguns like the 12+1 S&W M&P9C and 10+1 Glock 26.
Despite it's shortcomings, it is an amazing shooter that pretty much shits all over every other DA/SA when it comes to the trigger and possibly the sights if you get those X-Rays on it.
I see it how people see 1911's if that makes sense.
>>30439343
dont buy a compact 1911

>>30439524
Damn. Thats legit. 1911s still look pretty though.
