Went to the ol' gun show yesterday, walked away with this P220. My first SIG, my first centerfire auto. Figured I would go all the way. A sticker on the case says 28th of June - I don't know if that is the assembly date or a shipping code or what, but it is clearly a very recent manufacture. So here are my questions:
1. The trigger on this example looks much thinner than the pictures of SIGs I see everywhere else. Did SIG change the profile of the triggers?
2. This supposedly has the "thin" P220 grips on it. As I understand it, this is possible because it has a new plastic mainspring seat. Does this mean I cannot get grips designed for the "old style" mainspring seat? I am not terribly fond of these grips - the backstrap has worn my palm sore just from handling the gun and practicing holds. I'd like to replace them with rubber Hogues, but I want to make sure they fit. I can't find the "regular" factory plastic SIG grips for sale anywhere.
3. This is my first gun with night sights. I got the night sights because I did not like the sight picture on the regular, non-night-sighted model. Does anyone know who makes the night sights for SIG, and approximately how long they will last?
Many thanks in advance.
