Just bought Sig 250 22 second thoughts before firing. Half of the components is plastic!

Plastic is the new normal.
1) lighter
2) cheaper to make
3) never rusts
4) can be formed into virtually any shape.
For better or worse Glock changed the world.
The technological progression seems to have gone something like this:
1. Build the product to last.
2. Build the product to outlast the original purchaser.
3. Build the product to outlast the current budget cycle.
4. Build the product to outlast the warranty. Which determines which? Let your own cynicism decide.
There's a reason I like pre-WWII-era stuff, or stuff made by pre-WWII-era people.

Yep. I certainly wouldn't worry about it if the gun fit my needs. The P250 seems to be well regarded for a striker fired polymer.
Go order a cake at the Publix bakery and they give you a plastic knife, actually works good :tooth: :roll2:

Still amazes me this is a real Firearm, I went straight to the Range after buying and used it for NRA class.
There was globs of white grease inside and Magazines were sticking, cleaned everything and all slides well.

Indeed; for my daughters, plastic guns and maybe a lot of other traditionally metal-made mass-produced products will be the rule. Probably us playing with plastic toys (Gun replicas or such among them) that hardly lasted in the hands of a young boy and his rough handling has a lot to do with our (justified) mistrust of this material, no matter how much it has specialized and developed in the last 40 years.
Nice pistol; ammo used? ran correctly with other brands/types? This is usually a common issue with many .22 pistols, and as long as I recall, Sig Mosquitos that were imported here had a lot of ammo/reliability issues to the point of many being sold after a while by their unsatisfied owners.

I've seen nylon buffers in Marlin rifles after they have been shooting stingers and it destroys them. 10/22s have a steel buffer so it beats up the bolt and the buffer.

To me, implies no ammo other than SAAMI-spec commercial ammunition; in plain words, avoid using homemade reloads, airgun pellets pushed by nailgun "blanks" or such, etc.
Same. It's like they traded up in velocity in exchange for ability to hit the broad side of a barn.
$7.39 fer #50, $68.99 fer #500 Midway has them in stock. No thanks.
