While you have every right to your personal perception, it makes it no more valid than any other and I would usually give more weight to the opinion of a Gunsmith of Bruce Gray's reputation and experience with Sig pistols. His experience with the design spans it existence through four manufacturers...it is not like it is a design without a track record
The purpose of this forum is to provide a place where a reader can fine differing opinions than their LGS or range. That means folks may disagree or have different experiences with a gun...that is why it is important to provide a basis for the opinion you may hold as opposed to something like "It's a great gun" or "It is junk"
The folks I see here trying to discourage others prior to purchase are trying to encourage the buyer to do more research or be more wary. It is really sad when folks make a purchase of a poorly designed gun and than return when their expectations of it are not met...only to hear, "We told you so"
I don't expect someone not to purchase this gun based on my opinion, just as I did not expect it when I warned people about the Sig Mosquito, the early Sig GSR or the early S&W Sigma 380.
All I try to do is give them the benefit of the research I have already done...they are always free to ignore it
Exactly. People here are pointing out that there have been issues which have been documented by actual owners and backup by people who know, like Bruce Gray.
I do not see people saying don't buy it. They are saying understand the risks. They then go on to state a personal opinion or judgment like I did. I personally am not willing to take the risk. Your backhanded rude comment that those who choose not to buy it can't afford it is a false assumption and I am not sure why you felt the need to make that kind of statement. If I wanted one I surely could afford one. I wanted to like it. I wanted it to run well but in the end it hiccuped in a big way right out of the gate and the fact there are still current reports of issues have lead me to pass. This maybe old new stock it might not but the chatter is still high enough with issues with new pistols that my money is going other places.
They are shipping out re coil springs like candy because they know there are issues with them. They have redesigned the recoil spring at least twice now. This is a sign to me that the buying public is doing the R&D on this pistol. Each buyer must way the risks vs the rewards and spend accordingly. Attacking the character of other long standing respected members is wrong IMHO.
