Hello new to site
Planning to buy a 226. Wondering if anyone has heard of issues on the long ejectors with new Elite models vs short ejectors on standard 226
Hello and welcome to the forum. Have a P229 with the long extractor. With 1300 rnds thru it, happy to report NO FTEs or any other problems. Unless you count the cost of the ammo I'm burning as "a problem".
Thanks for the come back.
I am trying to decide whether to buy the MK 25 or Elite model P226.
Spoke with a customer who seemed very knowledgeable and was telling me the long ejectors have had issues.
I like them both and leaning toward MK25
Welcome to the forum from Pennsylvania. I have no experience with the longer extractors so it would not be objective for me to comment. I can say I have had no issues with the shorter ones.
The issues you speak of where from bad metal. but what would happen with the long extractor the tip would break off causing issue of FTE. I am thinking sig has fixed this issue being that only happed to some p229s made from a certain build date.
