avoid it, the rotating barrel cam system is known to bog down when it is dirty. I suggest you spend your money elsewhere,as much as I dislike the SIGpro( prefer the classic series) it would be a better choice in the same price range

My main thought with the mauser is that the safty is in the perfect spot for a broken thumb.

I did a little research on it earlier.
The rotating bolt has to be kept well-lubed.
Oil attracts dust and dirt.
Dust and dirt cause problems.
Just no way of getting around it.
No free lunch.

Disappointed gun. I've never fired one but handled one of the early ones. Okay ergonomics but not a very well-conceived gun. The safety, which was supposed to be optional, is in one of the dumbest places you could have it; on the back of the gun above the beavertail area. You switched you left/right to put it on/off (can't remember exactly which way went which). Anyways, it reminded me of switching the vents on/off for the AC in your car. Supposedly designed that way so you could see it's status when looking down as it's holstered but suppose the gun isn't holstered?
Kind of thick for a CCW gun. Magazine disconnect - yuck! Something no handgun should have. Sure, you can drop the mag and render it useless if a perp is trying to take it away but that's a fine motor movement to hit the mag release and I think you'd be better off spending the calories to hold onto the gun, attack the perp back, or better yet, don't let them get so close.
Rotating barrel. Interesting concept, found on the Beretta 8000 series and Colt All American (we all know what a stellar piece that was!) I think Beretta is the only one to have some longevity with the rotating barrel concept so far.
A magazine article outed that the gun was not inteded for a lot of range shooting; to be kept and carried a lot, shot little. Whatever, nevermind that one should practice with the gun if they intend to possibly use it in a situation. Embarassing that SIG even put their name on this gun.
Like another poster said, get a Sigpro; not my fav but much better than the Sig/Mauser. If you want a Mauser, get a broomhandle one. Personally, I'd hunt down a used or PD trade in P-series Sig.

hi,
I was also disappointed with that gun. Even a perfectly clean and lubricated one produced some failure to feed within 100 rounds (.40 SW).
Too thick for CCW, not a good trigger, idiot safety. So why do want anyone to buy it?
However I don't think it is "shoot a little" gun. All parts are very oversized.

Had a .45 ACP M2 not long after they came out ($400). The gun (grip) itself felt very nice but way too wide if you're considering concealment. All 200 or so rounds I put through it went off and came out without any problems for me. The wide grip helped distribute the recoil quite a bit IMO and surprised me at how easy it was in my hands. Accuracy was so-so.
What lead me to trade it in was the slightly more complex disassembly/reassembly. It was not very well engineered/designed, IMO. The very long and stacking trigger pull wasn't a plus either.

I've never seen one in person; but the reviews I've
read were mixed to say the least. Most of those
persons didn't give the SIG-Mauser M2 much of a
chance!

I considered one myself....the Sig Pro 2340 can be had for the same price approximatly and I got that instead. The Sig Pro is THE most accurate .40 I own....or have shot. The ones I compared it to are:
1. Ruger P94...this should be a no brainer.
2. Glock 22...Accurate, but not as accurate and only with certain types of ammo...the Sig is not finicky.
3. Sig 226....yeah...surprised me too.
4. Sig 229....Same as above...and I own TWO of these.
5. CZ 75 in .40....awsome gun...accuracy was about the same...but the Sig was MUCH lighter.
I went ahead and got two 2340s I liked them so much. I got the fat grip for them and plan on getting the 9mm barsto barrel or maybe the firedragon.

I believe it was "Guns and Weapons for Law Enforcement" magazine wherein the author of an article on the Sig/Mauser said it was a shoot little carry a lot gun. Regardless, poor design.
