Ya, agreed.
Congrats on getting a good .45 pistol!
You want it sprung fairly stiff - Wolff has a big selection - use their +5% springs, but try a +10%.
If you have old or well used mags, change their springs too.
I've NEVER had a stovepipe, never a FTF, no errors at all and I use a pretty light target load for practice most of the time. The same load that I need to use a 14# spring in my 1911's uses a spring in my 220 that feels like an 18 or 20# spring would feel in a GM 1911 when hand cycling the pistols.
Anyone else notice that heavy sprung Sigs keep on running? Even my 232 has some big bear of a spring, and it's never failed me either, and my 226 - same thing. Sigs like strong springs.
I've accumulated a lot of 1911 pistols over the years but when I discovered a used Sig 220 it relegated all of them to range, collector, or show guns pretty much. The Sigs are loaded and all around my house, ready. I trust them completely.
If you can, try the CT grip that has buttons on both sides of the pistol. If your fingers are long enough it's much easier to use naturally than the kind with front buttons. Use those and just marvel at how the pistol hits where that red dot was, over and over, fast as you can catch the dot on target. Either hand. These are my opinion(s), of course.
It's easy to see why people who mean business so often chose Sig pistols.
