Another mag issue with the P220 was the SIG supplied "8 rd follower" that converted the original, dovetailed, blue steel mags from 7 rd, to 8 rd capacity.
We bought a bunch of those folowers and plunked them in our 7 rd mags when the piece/modification first came out. Generally speaking, they were a source of problems from the onset. I pulled them from every magazine I encountered so modified, and reinstalled the original 7 rd follower.

The stainless, hardback Mec Gars, standard with later SIGS, were intended as 8rd mags from the onset, and are a better product.
