Eh, not really any ranges without driving to Nashville or the Boro, so I figure it will just be me and a few buddies so they can suck it up. Still awaiting the other goodies I bought for it. Really excited for the Bushnell Elite 6500 and the Tac-21 chassis to come in.

They come with an absolute cowitness mount normally, but there are aftermarket risers that will get it to the 1/3 cowitness. Many of the red dot sights have the lower 1/3, but EOTech isn't one of them. If it is causing problems, I would suggest getting the riser:

yankee hill machine 220 EOTech Riser yhm

or Brownells

AR-15/M16 EOTECH RISER MOUNT | Brownells

Both are reputable companies. If you want to go for the gold, Larue makes one, but I don't see spending over a hundred bucks for a piece of aluminum.

Picked these up over the last few weeks.
Sig P226- MK25 and the Sig P227.

Both are great shooters.

Nice.

What's the difference between a 227 and a 220

recently picked up a 226 Tacops - haven't taken it the range yet; maybe tomorrow

227 is a double stack. But feels almost the same grip wise as the 226.

However, same horrid standard trigger lol. SRT is the only way to go on Sigs.

Haha I'm actually going to change out the SRT in the 227 for a standard. Just a better feel for me.
I tried my best to ignore Sig's the last few years, especially considering the price point. But, I shot a buddies 227 and had to pick one up. I actually like the E2 grip on the 227 and may go that route on the 226 as well.

I had a p220 years ago that I always regretted trading. It would literally feed empty brass. When I shot the 227 I just had to heat up the credit card at BPW.

The reset on the standard triggers was just too much for me.

The E2 grips are some of the best grips outside of modulars I've seen. I had Sig do mine since you have to replace the decocking lever and got night sights at the same time. The Sig service guys are pretty quick.

my Tacops has both the SRT and short reach trigger (which I needed)

I bought it used and it was deep discounted because the previous owner de-Tacoped it a bit by replacing the Tacop grips with E2's. This was fine with me since I didn't need the 20-rounders and am using Mec-gar 18 rounders. Agree with GV that the e2s feel good. Still has the trigger and sights of the Tacops

Midway has 18 round Mec-gar mags for the 226 at $27 - just picked up a couple. Seemed like a good price for a quality product

I keep forgetting you are in the Birmingham area - this is Birmingham Pistol Wholesale right? Do you know if they have a Sig armorer?

The Mec-Gars are the only thing I run in mine. The OEM mags were relegated to range use only as soon as I started buying them.

I don't think they do. The chap that owns ATI is a sig armorer. Pretty decent indoor range to boot.

the only time I went to ATI it was so dang hot and humid in there my glasses were fogging up something terrible.

shot at the outdoor range in Pleasant Grove a couple weeks ago. Nice to shoot outside for a change.

I have a membership at Hoover Tactical and it's about 5 minutes from the house

I'm still shocked at the very idea of Hoover tactical. A former grocery store converted into a gun store/range lol

I think marks also has a sig armorer on duty. I used to hate going in marks for anything, they've made some substantial changes in the last year or so though. I find myself there pretty regular now. I'm in Oneonta, so it's a good drive anywhere for me.
