I allmost forgot, does anyone know of a dealer that sells grips for guns.  Ive look all over but cant find anything except the black factory grips that it comes with.  I really want some wooden grips, brown preferably.  I think they sell a laminate wood grip that is colored.  I cant even find those though, and I dont thing you can order anything like that from SIG.

Joey,
Your gun is of the SIG family line, granting unto it a fine tradition.  It'll serve you well.  
Ammo is not a big deal unless you are competing.  Otherwise, any jacketed bullet is fine.  You can afford to buy "premium" ammo and still get it cheaply.  I'd but whatever is in the middle price range.  All it really means is that the gun will end up a little less dirty.  High end .22 ammo is available, but it's not needed for your own uses for enjoyment purposes.  You should have no trouble with high velocity rounds, though, again, you don't need them.  The .22 is an underrated round.  
Most dealers who don't know about that handgun can blame it on a lack of experience with them.  They are not widely sought after because they are not very well advertised in the States.  I've never seen one in a gun store here that I can recall, in fact.  They are great handguns, though.  
For grips, that's probably going to be tough.  That is a fairly unique gun and grips and holsters tend to be mass produced for popular guns.  Try Nill grips first.  They are pricey but they are the finest wood grips you can buy, and they do custom work if needed.  Just do a search on "Nill wood grips" online.  Ajaz is another options, but that handgun may not yet be "big" enough for them.

For mags, always keep an eye on CDNN Investments.  They commonly have large quantities of SIG mags available, and their pricing is generally very good.

Good luck,
-Kyle

Nill grips doesnt have them for the Trailside.  They look like nice grips though.  They have them for a older sig/hammerli pistol.  CDNN only has the original black grips, and no mags.  I found a mag though, so thats not a problem any more.

Anybody have any other ideas for wood grips for a TRAILSIDE model?

I tried out some winchester, some federal, and some remington, all copper coated.  I got a few winchester rounds that didn't fire at all, one or two.  The federal seems to work well.  I think that is what I'll go with.  What should I do with the 3 boxes of remington and winchester rounds that I have.  How do I dispose of them if I don't shoot them.  They are yours if you want them for your marlin Scott.

I like the CCI Blazer .22LR ammo.  It has worked flawlessly in all of the .22LR guns I've had.

Is that what it is called, cci blazer?  Can I get that at walmart, or do I have to go to a gun show.  Is that stuff pretty clean, I want some clean ammo that doesnt leave my gun really dirty, because I shoot alot.

I get the CCI Blazer at Sportsman's Warehouse - it opened up here off the 101 and Rose Garden.  It's about the size of a Costco.  I think 500 rd bricks cost about $10

Today I went out and bought a case of federal rounds and some CCI Stingers, which is all I could find.  The Stingers were 3.50 for a box of 50.  They shoot really well though, and you can tell the power is increased by the kick from the gun.  I don't know if the federal rounds will work well this gun though, I seem to get round that only half ejected numerous times.

Paco, do you know where I can find CCI Blazer rounds in 500 bricks here in Prescott.  I tried a few gun stores, and they didn't have them.  I ended up getting the Stingers at WalMart.

Both CCI and Federal should work very well for you.  The Stingers are great as well.  Remember that with a .22, no matter what you shoot, you are shooting a dirty round and you will experience jams.  Any .22 requires patient maintenance, though some models can go longer than others before needing it.  Quality control is not nearly as exacting with .22s as it is with the higher calibers, so there can be variations within the same box of ammo, causing varying problems with your gun.  Jamming is a trait of the round, and no so much the gun, but your SIG should do better than most.

I found some CCI Blazers today, but they are not copper coated.  The guys at JandG said I shouldn't shoot lead rounds.  The stingers are copper coated, but they are expensive, allmost as expensive as 9mm rounds.
