SIG barrel swap ? Of a different kind ?

kidcoltoutlaw · January 15, 2006, 12:45 PM

I have a P229 with a 5 inch barrel Bar-Sto that was fitted by EGW. I know the lock up is way different than a 1911. In a 1911 doing that would be a problem but is it in a SIG ? Can I use my other barrels without causing a problem with the barrel that is fitted ? I mean like causing it to be less accurate with the fitted barrel ?
Thanks,Keith

IMHO, if the only modifications made when fitting the Bar-Sto were to the barrel and not to the frame or receiver, you shouldn´t have any problems with barrel switching.
