will this work?

Will a KJW Sig 229 work with out the outter barrel? The part in question, #16 on the exploded diagram. Will it still, cycel, or just " blow up" in my hand?

[Jester316]

The outer barrel stabilizes and houses the inner barrel...

[CommieHunter]

The answer is no. It will not work at all without an outer barrel.

Out of curiousity, I took my outer barrel off of my M1911, It fired but terrible accuracy. It wouldnt really be worth using.

[TheGonz]

Ok, now does any one know whaer to get a spare outer barrel? Or will one for a 226 just get the job done but look a little funkey.

[Orwell]

They're the same gun, but the 229 is longer. Right? If that's the case, and they're both from the same company, the 229 barrel will likely work in a 226 body.

[TheGonz]

Well if i find one for a 226 and " carefully" cut off the extra it should work, In theory right? Or should i try it on the broken one first?

[Orwell]

I think it'll work fine. The important part of the outer barrel is the stability for the inner barrel and the fact that it holds the inner barrel in place, often it is directly involved in the action of the weapon.

[TheGonz]

Ok ill try it tomarro at my local shop.

You guys are mixed up with your guns. The 229 is the compact version of the 226. A 226 outer barrel in a 229 would just stick out a little, and in my opinion look pretty cool. I've handled the real steel, and if memory serves me good I think that should be right.
