I'm going to chime in with some questions of my own. I have an american mag-release P220 and am considering the purchase of another W. German sig (side or heel release, doesn't matter). My question is, what upgrades would be deemed desirable? I want the guns frame and slide refinished...what would be the closest to the original flat black-almost-parkerized type finish? The Nitron stuff Sig offers seems way too glossy for a W. German Sig.

Also, is installing a short trigger and SRT reset system by the factory a bad idea on a W. German sig? Are Sigs "siglite" brand night sights any better than a Trijicon? Could I run into problems by installing a new firing pin in an older Sig? In fact, how bad of an idea is it to switch out everything in an older Sig except the frame/slide/barrel/hammer/insert block?

Thanks, and to the OP your gun is suhweeeet. Gotta love the old school 220's, definitely my obession right now.
