That Underwood ammo looks like some pretty hot stuff! I actually shot SIG Elite ammo that I picked up at the SIG Elite dealer where I bought the pistol. It was, interestingly enough, far cheaper than the other ammo on the shelf by at least $5. I was told that because they are a SIG Elite dealer they can buy SIG stuff cheaper, and that they pass on the savings. I have noticed that their prices on most SIG stuff reflect that. BTW....I also was given a SIG hat!! Least SIG could do for me after buying four premium SIG pistols in the past few months!!

I checked out my local Field & Stream store this evening. $35/box of Remington range ammo, fairly mild stuff it seems. This will likely be a pistol shot relatively little I think.

Congratulations! I hope that was a 50 round box of ammo and not one of those puny half boxes.

Now y'all have me thinking about getting one. I love the P220 and a 10mm would be awesome!

Yup...Box of 50! I loved the P220ST in .45 I owned years ago, and the thought of buying one in 10mm, especially with the long slide, SAO and G10s kind of pushed me over the edge.

Underwood makes some good 10mm. I also like buffalo bore.

Quick update re: dumping mag causing failures

Just a quick update. I mentioned in my original post about having a couple of failures because I thought I accidentally hit the mag release. I was mistaken. I believe I have a bad magazine as it has popped out a few times since as I was checking out the pistol and not even shooting it. If I push the baseplate forward and then back while it is in the pistol it will pop out! I am not sure if this is one of the two mags that came with the pistol or the spare I bought. I will call the shop where I bought it tomorrow to see how to get the mag replaced.

Carefully compare and measure the mag catch slots in the magazine tube (body) between the magazines and see if you see a difference.


I can't remember; was this pistol new or used when you bought it?

 

[JimLob65]

The pistol was new. I was able to recreate the problem several times with the one magazine, but not with the other that I tried.
