When one shows up here it disappears quickly - and often at a staggering price. My question is - where are all the magazines?

Beware on ebay, there is a ".22 Conversion" Slide only that's been advertised for some time, with a German heritage. Sig Sauer P220 pistol, .22 LONG RIFLE slide | eBay While this may have been a version available in Europe, decades ago, it has no similarity to the versions available here. I would almost guess it used a floating chamber, similar to the early Colt Ace, since being a steel slide.

I picked up one some years ago and had an educational experience when I finally used it.
It was new but when I fitted it to my P220 I kept getting failures to eject no matter what 22LR ammo flavor I tried.
I even had someone else try it to make sure I wasn't influencing the cycle. Nope. Checked lubrication. Not the problem. Went through the list. No luck.
Finally- I became curious and ordered another recoil spring. That was it. It appears it came with an incorrect strength recoil spring. After I popped in the proper weight spring it cycled perfectly with no errors. It now handles all types of 22LR and works just fine, (aside from the OEM magazines being kinda steep).
