I second what Constantine says about springs. I was on the range with another PD and they were having trouble with their P220s. The trouble started about six months prior to the day I was with them. Luckily we were at a Sig event and one of the Sig armorers looked at the pistols and told them they needed to replace the recoil springs. Sig gave them new ones right there and no more problems. The pistols years of service and round count dictated replacing the the RSA but they hadn't done the required maintenance. A simple fix, kinda like changing the oil in your car ever 3,000-5,000 miles, it just needs to be done!
