I handled a SigPro the other day, and although the bore axis is a little high and the overall shape a little blocky, the gun had an excellent trigger, easily accessible controls and seemed solidly constructed.

I'm thinking that this gun would be a good launching platform for the .40S&W, but I've heard rumblings from a few people about plastic pieces that break off during re-assembly, and poor quality.

So does anyone own an SP2340, and do you like it, carry it, etc.

Thanks

Short answer to your question is: YES

High bore axis is a characteristic of Sig pistols. You like the design/brand, you gotta live with it. Nothing wrong with the SigPros. Most complaints center around 2 things: 1- No high cap mags are available to non-LE and 2- it is a bit big for concealed carry. Quality on mine seems fine. It doesn't seem to be quite as refined as the classic series, but then again I paid $600 for my 229 and $400 for my SigPro.

Answer: YES!!!

I love the sig pro. The most un-plastic of the polymer bunch of pistols out there. Very well made, and has a trigger sweeter than all of the P-series pistols in my safe. Mine is chambered in 357SIG, and it handles the round with finesse. Yes, muzzle flip is more evident. It is quite accurate also....I did a range report in the past here. Magazines, though post ban are plentiful and cheap. For the money, you cannot go wrong with the 2340. I paid $500 shipped for a LNIB with night sites and 7 magazines.

Dr. Lunde had a group buy going for a Bar Sto conversion 9mm bbl. You essentially have a 3-caliber gun with the sig pro....40S&W, 357SIG, and 9mm.

Some people dislike the 'high-bore axis' that is inherent in the design, but in my experience it is no higher than some other pistols like the much revered 1911.
Also the propriety rail will not fit anything but the SIGARMS laser and light, which are quite expensive. There is a european rail adapter for it.

I didn't have a problem with anything on mine, 100% reliable, accurate enough if not stellar.

I'm not a big fan of the SIG design in general. Too top heavy in the polymer PRO and there is just too much gun north of my hand to suit me.

Preferred shop says it's one of the highest returns 'to try out something else' but very few negative comments.

I can't truthfully say; cuz I've never owned one!:uhoh:

But, I do LOVE the "Classic" P-series SIG-Sauer's.:rolleyes: :)

Love my 2340.
Strong gun.
Very strong.
Excellent platform for .40, and 357SIG.
I'd like a 2009, but I'll guess that I'll have to make do with a conversion barrel.
Very accurate.
Get the night sights.

Newton;

A few questions;

What do you shoot now?; Have you actually shot the 2340 yet?
What other guns have you either shot or looked at?

I was all ready to plunk down my hard earned cash (early last year?) for a new Glock 35 when Mark showed me the SIG PRO 2340. Mark was the behind-the-counter guy at my local shop / range, and I generally trusted what he said.

He handed me the SIG and a box of Lake City 180gr .40 FMJ and said, "Here, go shoot this SIG. If you still want the Glock after that, I'll pay for the ammo myself. But you won't"

I still have that SIG, and I still love it. Shoots where I want it to and dosen't fail (OK, except that one time I put the mag spring in backwards!!)

Since then I've put about 1100 rounds downrange from 165 gr PMC (my fav) to 180 gr stuff. I've also put a hogue handall and Sprinco guide rod in. It's one of my most trusted firearms. I only wish I could carry it, but alas, I live in Maryland!

I find them overly wide in the backstrap area and fugly, but they are high quality.

I've seen them for $400, which is deal on a quality firearm from the Swiss or Germans.

Sigs are one of the few platforms I'd recommend for launching .40.

I'm not suggesting you should act in the same way, but a lot of your fellow shooters in Maryland carry anyway, I should know, I shoot with some of them (Columbia resident here).

I have shot several SiGs (239, 245, 229, 226) so I am used to the high bore axis, and general control arrangement, but I have only handled an SP2340 and not shot one.

What do I shoot now - Hi Power, Makarov, P32, Ruger 22/45, Hi Standard .22LR, Rossi .38 Spl.

What have I shot - well in .40, a CZ40, Glock 23, Beretta Cougar.
