Product reviews: Sig Sauer Slide Catch Lever - P226, P228, P229

Shooting many full house loads strains parts like slide catch lever. I keep this part on hand along with recoil and mag springs to ensure functioning. Great price at TGS.

Superb fit and finish; easy to install!

Needed the new catch lever for Sip P226 conversion from 40 sw to 9mm. Worked perfect, arrived quickly, no issues and very much appreciated.

Works as advertised. If you have the shorter slide stop (lever 1) this will allow the use of factory 9mm mags. The American made sig mags and mecgar mags will work with lever 1 but factory Italian-made mags will not, the follower has a less pronounced step. Would recommend if you have a 9mm p226 tacops that you want to shoot 15 round factory Italian-made mags out of. Installation not bad just make sure that the locking block pin is rotated to the correct position. It will only go one way.

Anyone converting a Sig Sauer P226, originally made in .40 S&W, may find themselves in a frenzy, with converting it to 9mm, even with a Caliber X-Change kit. Sig used a Slide Catch Lever that currently is known a Lever-1, which was made for .40 S&W only, in the P226. The P229 used the same Lever-2 for all calibers. Possibly due to projectiles with flat noses, there may have been problems with early slide lock with Lever-2 in P226s with their narrower double stacked magazine, reasoning for developing the lever currently known as Lever-1.

If your slide will not lock back with an empty "older" 9mm magazine, you will no doubt need to install Lever-2, as many current magazines have modified followers that will engage Lever-1.

Fantastic product, super happy with the ease of purchase and how simple it was to find what I was looking for. This is my new go to site for parts.

Arrived quickly, easy to install, exactly what we were looking for.

Fast shipping, the part was the correct one. A very good all around deal. I was referred to your site by someone on the SigTalk forum.

Nice sig OEM slide catch lever. Replaced the one on a couple of sig LEGIONs, and the color is a good match to the original (which is smaller and I did not like the original size). Fast shipping as always from Brad at TopGunSupply!

Correct part. Easy installation.
Not much to say, it's the standard slide catch.

Fantastic customer service.
Missed the note regarding shipping on Saturdays, but Brad from TOP GUN tried his best to reach out to help me save some money on shipping cost.

Had the part I needed and quick shipping. Thank you
