Might try a Bar-Sto Barrel in that 220. I have one in a 1911 .45 and it hasn't leaded yet! Just a couple of patches with Hoppe's #9 and it's clean! Accuracy is superb.

My Sig 229, .40 S&W, will lead a very small amount after shooting several hundred rounds. I load a 175 gr. SWC, with a medium amount of WSF. As far as the trigger on a sig, my 229 has a little creep, but is smooth as butter and at the lbs. listed in the owner's manual. I like it very much. It is different from my 1911 and I can't go immediately from one to the other and still shoot good groups. I need some dry-firing to adjust to each trigger.
