Sig P226 Magazine Maintenance

This is a video on how to maintain your Sig P226 magazines. The same process will work for any pistol magazine with a removable base plate. I also explain loading and unloading the magazines and the pistol as well.

I notice, you don't apply oil liberally into the magazine after cleaning it. New magazines come almost soaked in oil. Have you had any problems with your follower getting sticky or gummed up, even after cleaning?

@falconhusky I don't have any problems with the followers sticking. I do try my best to keep the magazines as clean as possible. The new magazines come like that to prevent rusting while the magazines are sitting in storage or on the shelf in a store.

how long do you keep ur mags loaded?

do you rotate mags?

[renegade410]

@FuLLMetALJackET308 I keep them loaded all the time. I do have another set of magazines which I am planning to use so I can rotate them. I also plan to get new springs for the old mags if I can.

Do you have an after-market slide release lever?

[renegade410]

No. That is the stock slide release that was supplied with my firearm.

I have no problem using hollow point ammo in any of my carry guns. Almost all modern firearms will be able to readily feed hollow point ammo.

The P226 in 9mm can accept 15 round magazines that fit flush with the grip. As long as they are legal to own in your area 15 round magazines should not be a problem to find.
