[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1186223, member: 229"] I've never seen this and I've owned/currently own 7 Sigs (including a P239, a P229, a P228, a P6, and more than one P226). All my guns are 9mm to be fair, and I assume your duty P229 is a .40, but you might have an issue with that gun man. What do you mean by "needs to be WET to run smooth"? Does it malfunction if dry? I got to more than 800rds in my P226 Frankenstein gun with no oiling/cleaning and didn't have a single hiccup. Its got about 2000rds in it now and I've run it with mags that were so dirty (from repeated dropping for drills) that I was amazed they still ran (full of sand, dirt, and even grass in one of the mags). Never a malfunction. I've run almost all my Sigs that way (except the P239) and none have failed to fire, extract/eject, feed, or for that matter had any malfunction at all except for the two dirtiest mags failed to hold the slide back on the last round (and they were Mec Gar mags with different followers than the rest of the mags to be fair). I know Glocks are reliable, but I wouldn't consider them as reliable as a metal-framed Sig - but to be honest, very few people on this board would ever find that failure point by running them so hard that they do fail.
