Got my first Sig the other day. 226 40s&w. What is this gunk all over it. It won't come off. I assume it is suppose to be on it?
All I had was Rem oil so I put it on a small spot and it did nothing. I will try the Hoppes. Thanks guys.
Can you post some pics. I have 2 Sigs, 1 of them a p226 and I have not experience that gunk you mention.
Also one of the cool things about p226, you can buy the conversion kit in .357sig or 40s&w. They come with a slide, barrel and magazine, once you buy either or you can just buy the barrel for the other caliber and use the same slide and magazine. You can make your p226 9mm capable of firing 3 different rounds if you want.
I did know about the conversion kit and you are right, that is very cool. Wish I had the 357 barrel because 357 ammo was all that was available in Beaumont,Tx today.
Did you buy your Sigs new? I hear the gunk is on all of them. But, I don't know anything, heck I never heard of Hoppes #9. That stuff smells good.

That is not quite correct. A 9mm Sig P series can NOT be converted to a .40 or .357Sig. A .40 on the other hand CAN be converted to a .357Sig or 9mm. You can go down from .40, but not up from 9mm. But no worries, it's still a great gun. Just remember for range sessions, grease the hell out of the slide to frame. Slide Glide is what I use but you can pick up white lithium grease from walmart or any automotive store that will work pretty well.
