The quality of the SIG-SAUER Guns is considerably better if the components with a DE are marked. DE=Made in Germany.

Mine went back to Sig 4 days after I got it. The trigger felt like it had been buried in a sandbox and the upper would not come off the frame. Multiple FTF, and the first round, almost always, had to be struck twice by the firing pin in order to discharge. Major disappointment.

I suggest you look at the manual that came with the kit. I don’t know that Sig suggests using alcohol. Unless it says otherwise, Hoppes #9 would be my choice.

I bought a 22 conversion kit for my 228, the dealer told me to buy mc2500 mil.comm lub which I did I could not wait till I got it home to put it on my 228 I lubed the kit and the frame I put in on The first 10 times working the slid it would not close all the way. after working the slide about 100 times it worked well.
I loaded it up useing Remington hollow points. the first shot was a little slow closeing but from that point on I gould not ask for better at 15 yard useing a rest I had a shot group of a inch, all I can say is I in love.

I have had many bad experiences with .22 pistols jamming/not ejecting shells properly with a variety of supposedly good pistols even with high velocity ammo. How are these new Sigs performing?

I recently purchased a P229 Classic 22. http://www.sigsauer.com/Products/ShowCatalogProductDetails.aspx?categoryid=8&productid=256. At this time I trying to decided to go with the 9mm X-Change Kit or a .40. The only complaint on the P229 .22 is that the slide does not lock back after the last round and if you don’t keep track of how many rounds you shoot, you end of dry firing. According to the techs that I talked to at SIG that is how it was designed to operate. I have recently purchased some after market upgrades for the P229 at http://www.sigpower.com/. Jeff is currently working on a follower mod that will lock the slide back after the last round. Hope this helps.

Sig has on their website the new P226 22 classic. It is a p226 with the 22 conversion kit on it. You can get them at budsgunshop for $488.00. I have a P226 9mm. I bought the conversion kit for $300. It is great. Sights are exactly the same as the 9mm
