Hey out there. I need lots of input from experienced Sig-Sauer shooters on this one, if ya can. Here's why: I've been real tempted by the surplus Sig P6 pistols coming into the country, and also the Sig-made Browning guns in .45acp, I think they're called BDA .45 or something like that. Does anybody know whether or not you can put a newer factory or aftermarket barrel in them without mods, or if they even need it to feed hollowpoints? I don't want to shoot ball ammo for practice - my preference is the truncated flat point lead stuff in 9mm or 200 gr. lswc in .45acp, except of course for CCW ( I use hollowpoints for that). I would love to have at least one of these pistols, but it seems unwise to throw $$ to upgrade them when their is still a few decent-priced P225 or P226 used guns around already. My guns get alot of range time - I don't buy one to let it collect dust or show it off. Good value and few headaches is what I'm after.
I may be changing all my 9mm collection to Sigs, because for me they're very ergomic + easy to shoot accurately, and easy to train new shooters with too - something I enjoy very much, just don't get to do often enough.
Anybody out there with alot of all-around experience with Sigs? (loads, recommended recoil spring weights, feeding issues with the P6 and similar guns) Most of my long-term experience with loading, shooting, and tuning is with other handguns - 1911's, Browning HP, Glock 17 - a long time ago, S&W .38/357 revolvers,etc.
Currently in my 9mm pile: a compact Sig P239 (newest to me -probably my first choice for carry), TZ-75(willed to me, still in transfer from estate), Beretta 92FS(Italian, old, ugly, still purrin after alot of miles...)
Thanks to all who can share some knowledge.
