      Sig Quality?

      As market share and offerings increase, so does the number of "incidences". I bet the ratio of problems is the same as it's always been. That said, they do seem to work out bugs in version two as of late...but that isn't unusual with lots of companies. I've never owned one that wasn't top notch...

      plinking gun?

      You are on the right track. I start everyone on a full size .22LR semi-auto (SIG 1911-22). Learning to shoot is a series of steps that is easier to teach on something that has larger controls, and the 1911's grips and such work for most people. The trigger also helps build confidence in new...

      The 556R, a review...

      There is also the crowd that just likes the 7.62x39 for what it offers vs. the .223/5.56. That significantly narrows the options...I chose a modern rifle that wasn't an AR, or used proprietary magazines.

      The 556R, a review...

      I ditched the rails for the same reason and went classic. Much better balance.

      Thinking about trading...

      For a similar user interface in polymer, though the action is different, I'd look at the Beretta PX4 series. Lots of sizes and a similar safety/de-cocker. Much more modern and accurate too, IMHO.

      The 556R, a review...

      The pictures show fine on my end:dunno:. My apologies, Sig Sauer.

      The 556R, a review...

      I'm no rifle expert. Just an average joe with some trigger time in on lots of different platforms. My experience is limited mostly to basic form and function, ease of use, quality and other non-tactical stuff. That said I have some pretty decisive opinions on what I have noticed and what...

      Gripping an SP2022

      A SIG guy on another forum told me that they were trying out a design that worked easier with gloves on their "lower cost LEO designed" firearm to see how people liked it. It didn't receive very good reviews in the US...not sure why they didn't fix it in the newer runs...still selling OK overseas?

      AAR: Paladin Combatives Fighting Rifle Fundementals

      I had the pleasure of taking this class with Paladin Combatives this past Saturday in Belleview, MI. As many of you know Paladin Combatives is a joint venture between former Suarez International instructor, Michael Swisher (aka cedartop) and J.D. Haines. I have trained with Mike several times in...

      You should see the Croatian I brought home last night. (What holster?)

      The slide profile hasn't changed, so any maker worth their salt should be able to extend their existing mold to accommodate the length difference. I bet if you call any of them it would be no problem.

      Rock River Polymer 1911

      The target audience is different. The STI is marketed for gun games, not carry. Competitive shooters aren't hung up on the same things that a "normal" 1911 fan is, or someone who intends to use it for self defense. Two completely different market segments.

      Rock River Polymer 1911

      One thing to note...its been vaporware for about 2 years so far, so who knows when it will actually be available.

      Kahr K9 or Sig P239 which would you choose

      Walther PPS, as previously stated.

      Holster suggestions for G26

      I use a Dale Fricke Gideon Elite for OWB, but I prefer Kydex to leather. The 9mm version will als fit any 40,357 model.

      Rock River Polymer 1911

      The idea isn't bad if you can get over the gasps from traditionalists. The polymer would likely experience fewer issues than the aluminum frames know stress fractures at high round counts. I guess I wonder how much weight it saves? The RRA is listed at about 32.6 oz. (granted that's a 5"), and...
