First, I’m NOT intending on bashing Sig Sauer, just venting some frustration (and showing my quirks…)
I was born and raised in NH. I would LOVE to buy from Sig Sauer. And I have, 4 times…and all but one gun went down the road. I am keeping my P290 because if I ever have to loan a handgun to a non-shooting relative, that gun is DA only, restrike, and has a heavy trigger like a DA revolver. I find that inherently safer. Not looking to argue merits of loaning a gun out…I’m NOT a fan but I have sisters in law that live alone in sketchy places…just the way it is. Yes, I’ve taken them shooting as much as they’d go…
I’m basically talking about the P365/P320 lines
I’ll acknowledge that Sig’s DA/SA guns are very nice. No complaints and I’ve shot a bunch. Just not my cup of tea, just like Beretta 92, CZ75, or others, so I’m not buying them because of their category…I’m a striker fire gun shooter by choice.
Things that bug me but I can get past are the cost of accessories, especially magazines, their insistence on coming out with new models every few months, and their seemingly incomplete marketing messages that are kinda confusing…like the way they dealt with the drop-fire issues.
But the reason I couldn’t keep the SF Sigs I’d bought (P320X Compact, P365XL, and M18) is the way the slide rises a bit when I press the trigger. Drives me nuts. A buddy was the first to show me on his…he still has his and it shoots fine, but he doesn’t sell guns so his lives in his safe. And I thought I’d get over it myself…but just cannot. I can shoot the guns okay…but I tend to shoot low regardless how I set the sights (Leupold DPP, irons, and Sig Romeo Zero).
So many folks like these guns…and I want to like them. But until I can find one that doesn’t lift the slide when I press the trigger, I’m just not interested.
I know this sounds like a Troll Post…maybe it is…but not intentional.
Am I the only one who notices this issue (other than my Bud who pointed it out)?
Again, not bashing anyone who owns and likes these guns. They are very popular and for good reason…I really like the variety of ways you can set them up. I like the ergonomics. I like the feel.
But for now, I’m passing, which is sad because I want to support a company making guns in my home state.
Feel free to disagree, but is anyone else in this boat?
YMMV (and probably does)…
