In my own experience the SIGs have run flawlessly for over 3000 rounds. I can't say whether that will be true after 30,000 rounds, but so far I'm very confident in them. I agree that Glocks and SIGs have their own pros and cons and wouldn't argue for over the other. I just like most of the SIG's features.w2fnt said:With all due respect Sig is hardly the a standard of quality. Apparently it is just your choice. It was the choice of my department as well until Glock came along. I own both and each has it's own merit and detraction.
I think the reason you see so many Kimbers listed is simply because Kimber sells so many 1911s and 1911s aren't all EXACTLY the same like a Glock or XD is. They are more prone to inconsistencies in the manufacturing process, no matter who the manufacturer is. That's why one guy will swear his Kimber sucked, but loves his Springfield or Colt. Works the other way around too...some guys will say they have 4 Kimbers and they are all flawless, but won't touch another Springfield or Colt after one bad experience.
