I have a P220 Compact, born on date of 2017, which did not come with the SRT installed. I am assuming the P220 kit is also for the P220 Compact? Or can I just install an SRT sear and safety lever, which I already have, into the Compact? Does the Decocking lever still have to be changed, again I assume it is for the older models P220? Looking for verification of my "assumptions", thanks.
I was also curious to this. However can someone please post images of the old p220 decocking lever in comparison to the new one? I never really noticed a big difference to warrant a change? Or maybe I just haven't seen one in the face for long enough.
Guess the new lever, disengages the sear sooner? I noticed that the decocking lever takes a lot of motion up until it latches and disengages the hammer. So would the OEM not be functional at all since there's barely any space left for the decocker to move further down on a SRT lever?
You need the new decocking lever for proper operation on any P220 with the SRT sear and safety lever. Also, the hump on the new decocking lever works as a stop to prevent the lever from riding too high and, as a bonus, keeps it from dinging the frame in the up position.
You do not necessarily need to change decockers, depending on how new the P220 is.
SIG started putting the improved decocker in newer SIGs. I do not know the exact year that they started doing it.
But I recently installed an SRT kit in a 2016 P220 and it already had the new decocker. However, one I have from 2013 does not.
All you have to do is pull the left grip panel off your P220.
Push the decocker down so you can get a good look at the top.
If you have the one piece ergo grip and don't want to pull it off yet, you can remove the slide and lift up on the slide stop and peek under looking for that little hump on the top edge of the decocker seen in the picture on the right.
If yours looks like the one on the right, you already have the new and improved decocker. All you then need are the SRT sear and safety lever.
GBIA, much nicer "graphics", than my "Home Made"... I imagine that Sig probably did the "switch", whenever the Short Reset Trigger was introduced, to alleviate stocking 2 different parts...
