Drop in ready for P226 .40 S&W
Bought this barrel to replace the .40 S&W sig barrel that came with my Sig P226 Elite. It dropped in without any fitting needed and shot several boxes of 9mm without any hangup. Shot better than the .40 but that might be down to me. However, the edges of the barrel is rough/sharp. It might need some sanding to smooth out the edges so it doesn't quickly wear off finish or material from the Sig's slide. Also, the feed ramp came with a blemish/chip in it.
Not exactly drop in
When slide reassembled and you rack the slide or press check it would fail to go back into full battery about 1/8 to 1/4 inch or so unless you forced it. So after trying to figure it out I took it apart and noted rough areas under backside of feed ramp and sides of chamber. After sanding down a bit and some mothers polish then reassemble it now works fine with no hang up . Now goes back into full battery upon racking or press checking. Still beats the cost big time of a Sig Sauer threaded barrel which is over 100.00 bucks more expensive, and positive note that the threads are more common for most silencers. Thanks for the great pricing.
