Got a newer SIG P229?

[cmshoot]

If you have a newer SIG P229 with a roll pin as the firing pin positioning pin, you may wanna contact SIG. If your firing pin positioning pin is a solid pin, no worries.

Possibly pertains to other models as well, but I cannot say for sure.

Any details? Traded into one a year or so ago but don't know the born on date. Been flawless though.

You don't need to know the born on date. Look at the firing pin positioning pin. If it's a snail roll pin, contact SIG. If it's a solid pin, don't worry about it.

The newer P229 are not updated in this list, but it's a great resource if you need to know classic Sig P series born dates.

Especially useful if you want to avoid mud rail P226's.

FWIW, I guess I will be calling Sig to inquire about this. My P229 SAS .357SIG circa 2011 has a spiral pin.

What if it's a spiral pin?

Why?

That's a roll pin.

A major Fed agency has SIG Armorers working to replace the firing pin positioning pin in all of their affected weapons, including picking up the tab on shipping the firearms back and forth across the country. Other agencies are looking into this as well.

Thanks for the link, I now know my P220 was a June/09 gun.
