(SPG Edit)

Is what you might call the 'seal' between the bottom and top end when it comes to . . . CRUD!

I've owned a P220, and compared to the 1911, it was a virtual dust mop: Any and every little bit of crud that could went and done did it: It got 'stuck' in the bottom end of the P220 as if it had grown there.

SIGs are, by far, not the only ones with this problem: The so-called 'engineers' who design most of today's firearms evidently never cleaned one.
