Picked one up this past weekend, fun gun to shoot, although as everyone should know, as I did before buying.... It will most likely have FTF, FTE, issues. I am sure there are some people who have these function flawlessly, but unfortunate for me, I am not going to be one of them. Even the manual concedes that it will not function reliably with all ammo. Still, I love the weight and feel, its accurate, and it is feeding bulk ammo with the factory spring. It seems to always fail to eject the first round, but then feeds the remainder of the mag ok. I had read the metal mags had issues, has anyone tried to take a coil off the mag spring to reduce the tension? The most surprising thing about ownership for me was that the manual it is full of typos! So, for anyone who wants one, I like mine, but you should be aware its not going to function 100% with any ammo you give it. It feels good and seems solid, although the hammer I think is plastic, which is the most notable disappointment in materials. It breaks down for cleaning quickly and easily.

I bought one two weeks ago. Everyone including Sig (talked to them on the phone) said break it in with 200-300 rounds of MiniMags. Couldn't find any in my area. All I could find was some Federal Bulk Pack. Everything you hear about FTF, FTE, stovepipes and so on.
Finally found 3 boxes of MiniMags. Went bang everytime. Very accurate. Will now also feed that same Federal Bulk Pack it refused to feed on at first. I don't like the idea of a gun needing a break in. None of my centerfire Sigs, Glocks, Beretta's, XD's, and so on needed them. But I guess the truth is some do. I'm now a very happy camper. Skeeter shoots everytime and is very accurate as stated above. If you buy one get some MiniMags to go with it first or you will start off very disappointed.
