voyager9 3,439 Posted January 15, 2013 I have an older (pre-rails) Sig p226 in 9mm. While cleaning it the other day I noticed that the barrel seems off/angled as it sits in the slide. Sorry if I'm using the wrong terminology. When viewed from the front the barrel does not sit centered in the hole in the front of the slide and creates an obvious sliver. This picture kind of shows when I'm talking about: So is this normal for Sigs, or SA handguns in general? Does it throw off your sights? There were quite a few pictures of Sigs with that moon-sliver and people don't appear to be talking about it so I assume its not a problem.. but it just seemed odd that the barrel wasn't centered.

NJCK 5 Posted January 15, 2013 I could take a dozen or so of my Sigs out and take a photo and you'll see this is perfectly normal and a directly result of the SImple design of the P-Series. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SIGInst 2 Posted January 16, 2013 If the barrel was centered in the slide it would bind and lock up as the slide moves rearward and unlocks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
