Wasnt what I wanted to hear either. And it is the only gun company I've heard that from. And ive heard it twice from sig. 2 different guns. Made it cheaper to just buy the part in one case. That 226 is Still one of my favorite guns.
And the guns didnt break prematurely. They were well worn. Not that it mattered because that was never mentioned in my correspondence with sig. I'm just throwing that out there stating that I believe they make great guns. Just that their warranty policy isnt up to the standards of the other companies I've dealt with.
It is clearly stated in the warranty info too
