Before I buy one does anyone have any complaints about the Sig P220?

Now that I think about it, I had one small issue with my P220 and some Remington UMC ammo that were just slightly too long and wouldn't fit/feed in the magazines. About 10 out of my last 100 (230 grain JHP iirc) wouldn't fit in any of my p220 mags.

Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me. There's another complaint. The 220 magazines are so short front to back, they won't easily fit longer rounds.

I had some trouble getting Hornady T.A.P. 230-grain +P rounds to even go into all 3 of my 220 mags. I measured about 30 of these rounds with digital calipers, looking for the one with shortest OAL from the Hornady factory. When I found it, I subtracted another .005" inches, and VERY CAREFULLY used my reloading press and .45 ACP seating die to seat all 60 rounds of the T.A.P. to this slightly shorter OAL. We're talking an average of about .010" difference between factory OAL and what I seated them to. All the rounds fit in the mags a little better, and all fed and fired fine at the range, giving about what the advertised velocity is, taking into account the 3.9" barrel. I believe about 830-850 f/s.
