Sig Pro autos?

[Mastrogiacomo]

I don't hear too much about the Sig Pro guns, but from my gun dealer's website, they're more reasonably priced than the Sig Sauer. How are these guns quality wise -- are they just as good? Can they also function single/double action or DAO?

I used to have one in .357SIG. Very good guns, easily the equal of the classic P-series SIGs in terms of reliability and quality. Their triggers are the best DA triggers I've seen on any polymer gun. I'll get another one someday just for the fun of it...the SIG Pro is the best of the plastic-framed guns, IMHO. Mine had a traditional DA/SA trigger, but I think they're also available with a DAO trigger module.

A friend of mine has one in .40. He raves about it. I've shot it a couple of times. It's pretty sweet.

I bought one (9mm) b/c it was $400 new at the time. It grew on me. Initially, I had a few feeding problems. Those cleared right up and it has been 100%. Sometimes I'm tempted to carry it, I just have more compact guns that do the job better. For a range pistol, it is exceptional. I would rate it as very good for concealed carry. Most people who own alot of Sig classics look down on them, but a growing number are beginning to appreciate them.

How is the slide lock lever location?
With my P228 I was always bumping the slide lock with my high thumbs grip, causing premature slide lock back. This is the only thing keeping me from grabbing a SigPro, wondering if I'll have the same problems.

 

[SouthpawShootr]

To me the slide lock is fairly far forward of the position where it is found on Sig classics. I've never had this issue with either the Pro or my two Sig classics, so I can't really comment too much. I think the position is approximately the same spot as it is on the 1911s (I have to reach just a tad to get to it).

Being a reknown SIG-SAUER "Classic P-series" shooter
myself, I don't look down on the SIG-PRO line; or its
follower's, cuz it all comes down to a matter of choice.
I just prefer the "feel" of the lightweight aluminum
frame, over that of plastic/polymer. It's what works
for me; and has since July of 1988.

Unfortunately, I've never had the opportunity to shoot
a SIG-PRO in any caliber; so truthfully speaking
I don't think I can make an honest comparison. Hey,
if it works for you; then my all means jump of the
bandwagon!

Basically what works most for me is the price. The 226 cost a little over $700 at the shop I fequent. In fact, most tend to fall about this range which is a little rich for my blood. I didn't even pay anywhere near that for my Inox Brigadier which I felt was expensive at $640 total with the state tax included. The Sig Pro is more reasonably priced and closer to the 92FS in terms of cost. After having seen a photo of it on "The Bourne Identity," I got curious....

hi,
I have tested the 9 mm Luger sp2009, and I liked it. It hasn't the well known "cheap plastic service gun" feeling.

Well-made, accurate and very comfortable (light recoil, good grip, good trigger) to shoot.

Good value for the money, although the classic metal-frame SIGs are obviusly better guns.

I have no infos on the longevity of sp2009, but it could be acceptable, as French police and armed forces ordered more than 200 000 pieces...

 

[CZ52GUY]

I've had my SP2009 for several months...about 500 rounds through it...will eat anything...a little more active in my hand than some others in my safe...but easy enough to tame. I'm not crazy about the price of the Brady-Caps...kind of high...hoping AWBANSUNSET will make some 15's available.

Mine came with Siglite Night Sites...I bought the LDI Light...I enjoy it.

Good luck!

What's the max mag capacity of the 9mm SigPro?

 

[SigLaw]

The mag capacity for civilians is 10. The gun was made after the ban and, therefore, high-caps do not exist for us regular folks. I believe high caps for law enforcement hold 15 for the 9mm and 12 for 357sig or 40 S&W. I have read that the 40 S&W mags will get you some extra capacity when loaded with 9mm and still function.
