Complete Disassembly: Sig P228 P229 M11A1 PART 1: Slide (long extractor or E2 extractor)

The videos I referenced by accidentalGunsmith in my trigger review have been deleted (I'm assuming to the demonization and crack down on gun channels) so I wanted to have a decent HD walk through for people to follow like I did. We miss ya AG!
Intro: P C III - A Dark Blue Arc (The Heavy Stick Mix Mix)(Creative Commons Instrumental)
End music New Hope - Audiobinger
Final note and thanks: Gun channels on KZbin have been demonetized and have been under extreme scrutiny and unjust bias for being on the right side of the spectrum. After being a fan of many channels for a while now, I've decided to create my own touching on breakdowns I couldn't find, gun parts that aren't mass advertised and thoughts about things I don't believe get enough attention.
I'd like to thank an give credit to the channels I follow the most (in no particular order):

I know I forgot some and will add them as I remember them.

I cannot thank you enough for sharing your complete disassembly and reassembly of the Sig M11A1. I have referred to it quite a bit over a few years now. Seriously my friend, thank you 🙏

[@TheFallingHammer]

Not the best video quality but tried to cover it the best I could. Thank you for the kind words

[@no-hg4xi]

Finally found one with the Extractor covering the firing pin retainer roll pin. Everyone else's videos has the pin outside of the extractor. I WAS GOING CRAZY

[@arnauservaux3936]

Oh thank God. Ive watched Billy Bobs on KZbin talk for SO LONG to tell me nothing. You told me everything I needed in under 5 minutes. "The little one goes in the big one. "

[@231mac]

Thanks for your video! I was wondering if the notch on the side of the bolt face @ 9:49 (on the opposite side from the extractor, where the rim of the shell would rest when in battery) was normal and I see that yours has it, too.

[@bullaaron]

Great video! Thanks for the help!

[@TheFallingHammer]

No problem at all, thanks for taking the time to comment! It seems like not a big thing but means a lot honestly.

[@mulder4528]

Well done!

[@TheFallingHammer]

Thank you 👍🏻

[@ThisIsMyChannelX]

Brownells no longer sells the Sig Sauer E2 Slide Tool any longer. Do you have any idea of who still sells them? I've been looking high & low and cant find it.

[@TheFallingHammer]

They are hard to find. I see them come up every once and a while second hand in Facebook groups and eBay. Since they have been discontinued they have pretty much disappeared

[@ThisIsMyChannelX]

@@TheFallingHammer That is very frustrating, I cant tell you how frustrating, lol. That is the only missing tool I need to take it apart. Any other way to get around this besides trying to file down a round punch? It's hard to believe they dont make half round punches for other applications besides a particular series of SIG guns. Blows my mind.

Check Matrix Precision

[@richardayala4356]

Great tip at 7:45 minutes into the video! I would have been hammering away wondering why the pin wasn’t going into in the slide.

[@TheFallingHammer]

+Richard Ayala this made my day, and is one huge reason why I wanted to make this one. I won't lie, I did it the first time and was thinking WTF. I totally forgot and gave it a good 3 whacks before I remembered. Thanks for taking the time to give feedback!

[@richardayala4356]

TheFallingHammer I appreciate all the time and effort you folks make in giving your time and sharing your knowledge and experience with us! I have learned quite a few things, including fixing our clothes washer! Thank you

[@TheFallingHammer]

Richard Ayala same here! I've learned a ton from KZbin. It's crazy the knowledge that is available if one takes the time to look. I'm just glad I can help out a little too.

[@gregfronczak3595]

thanks, used this to take my sig p229r slide down after 2000 rounds. it was filthy after consuming mostly russian cheap ammo.

[@glimtecharms5115]

Nice Vid.... :)

[@TheFallingHammer]

+Glimtech Arms thank you! 👊

[@arctic9674]

any one have a link to the punch hes using or one that would work cant seem to find one

[@arnauservaux3936]

3mm but you need to modify to half round ( like a D not an O). I know sig makes that punch also if youd rather not fabricate. I used an old glasses repair kit and a grinder

[@ThisIsMyChannelX]

@@arnauservaux3936 Does Sig sell the 3mm Half Round pin punch separately? Or do you have to buy their ridiculously priced repair kit for $300?

[@ThisIsMyChannelX]

If you find a link to a website that sells them please let me know. I cant find the damn thing either. Quite frustrating.

[@arctic9674]

@@ThisIsMyChannelX I ended up going to harbor freight and bought a set of pin punches for like 4 bucks and took the 1/8" (3mm) one to a belt sander until it was cut in half and that worked pretty good

[@ThisIsMyChannelX]

@@arctic9674 Thanks for the advise.

[@jamesglennie4373]

What kind of trigger is that?

[@TheFallingHammer]

Armory craft flat trigger. I have a video on them and discount codes :)

[@jamesglennie4373]

TheFallingHammer thankks

[@TheFallingHammer]

@@jamesglennie4373 your welcome, I'm just here to help lol

[@jamesglennie4373]

TheFallingHammer it did. Quick question. I took the extractor off my 229 and it only had 1 spring. I believe yours had two. Is that normal?

[@TheFallingHammer]

Yea, an inner and outer spring. Do you have the newer long extractor or older short one?

[@charlesatmore7799]

Great video! Thanks for the help.

[@TheFallingHammer]

No problem at all, hope it can help.
