There are some variations in SIG P220 mags out there, you might try scaring up different mag types and see what your pistol does. NOT cheap after markets, but SIG factory.

The early P220 mags were german made and had a zigzag back and a conventional looking 1911 type follower. There were also some german mags sold, and a bunch of factory followers sold, as 8 rd mags, or to convert early 7 rd mags to 8. These followers were more oval in appearance, and had a shorter "skirt" in place of "legs" (does that make ANY sense?).

The new 8 rd mags are made by Mec Gar (I think) and have a synthetic follower.

A possible option if you are hooked on the pistol, and set on shooting SWC.
