I picked up one of the new Sig 22lr conversion kits for my P226 the other day from First Defense. The fit and finish of the kit is very nice. The rear sight is adjustable for windage and elevation. The slide comes with the new barrel, guide rod, and spring. Installing it on the P226 is as easy as taking the regular slide off, and sliding the new slide on to the frame. My only gripe is that it comes with one mag (the mags are polymer).
My first trip to the range was a quick one, and due to the lack of mags I only put about 110 rounds down range. Fired Aguila plated (50 rounds), Federal bulk plated (50 rounds), and CCI stingers (10 rounds) down range without a hiccup. Didn't clean the gun after the visit, and went a second time about 3 weeks later after I picked up 3 more mags. Put 300+ rounds downrange using just Federal bulk ammo. Had two FTE's during the visit, and I'd have to blame the ammo as sometimes the bulk packs seem a little inconsistent. All in all this kit seems to pretty much feed whatever you give it, and is pretty reliable. Once it's sighted in its fairly accurate. A very fun little conversion kit, and I'd highly recommend it to people that want to shoot their 226 cheaply.
Edit: There is no chambered round indicator on the conversion kit.
Here's a couple of shots with the conversion kit installed.
100 rounds rapid fire from 7 yrds (two 40 round strings, and a 20 round string).
