Sig Carry? Safe or Dangerous?

[Hoovercarter]

Wasn’t there some supposed shady stuff going down when Beretta won the M9 contract over SIG and the P226? Almost like our feckless Gov employees can be bought or something.

This video's a really interesting shakedown of the Beretta scandal. At least the SEAL team conspiracy

The P250, P320 and P365 along with Sig not wanting to take responsibility for the polymer crap they have turned out has made me dislike Sig in general and I will never own another Sig, there are too many other incredible firearms that the manufacturers stand behind them 100%.

I have 10 Sigs from P220 ,P226 ,P228 , P229 , and P239 . Never an issue , BUT , they’re metal frame . I’ve put 10,000 plus rounds thru them . I won’t have any polymer frame guns ! I hate and won’t have a striker fired pistol !

I’m a diehard P22x fan. But polymer is not the problem here.

True. There’s a mechanical issue . I just don’t like polymer .

A little annecdotal experience here.....


About 8yrs ago I was approached/asked about transitioning our folks to a striker fired pistol away from the Sig Sauer "Legacy" line (P220, P226, P228, P229, P227 etc.). My instant response was Glock 19/17. I was told directly "It has to be Sig" "It has to be Sig?" I asked. Yup. No other gun will be approved. After adoption of the P320 I was jokingly blamed for getting it online/approved with our folks, after the trigger issues of drop safe were being exposed. I still wonder what the Govt obsession was/is with Sig Sauer?!?!?! I have said it before and I'll say it again - someone is in bed with Sig on a mass scale in the govt and folks are paying the price for it.

And for the record, I carry no weight or influence, just happened to be in the company of some of the higher up decision makers and the topic was brought up. It was more of "Hey our guy over there is a big gun nerd, you should pick his brain and ask his opinion". They did, and it didn't matter.

Hopefully the recent tragedy with Air Force will cause some decisions to be made. Keep the pistol in service, withdraw it or at least get Sig Sauer to admit there is a problem and provide the solution. Will the Army and Marine Corps keep them ? Let's see..

So now should I be getting rid of my SIG M18 because it is not safe? I need to schedule a boat accident.

So now should I be selling my SIG M18 because it is not safe?

Just do not keep a round chambered and it will be as safe as a 320/m18 could be
