Army's new SIGs ejecting live rounds, can't handle standard ball ammo.

[Dead Duck]

Traded them for RELIABLE handguns.

I'm pretty sure that the Sig P226 and variants are one, if not - "THE" top tier of handguns.



This thread was more toward that newish tupperware Sig.

I'm pretty sure that the Sig P226 and variants are one, if not - "THE" top tier of handguns.

Some more than others, there are date ranges (particularly early long extractor models) that are more likely to be problematic than others...but still good odds. Short extractor and internal extractor P226s run and run for a long time. My understanding is current long extractors do as well, but I don't know 1st hand.

My former carry P226 is pretty high round count. I broke the decocker lever around 40k rounds, and the front sight's fiber optic fell out at about the same time. Sig replaced the front sight for me, and I changed the decocker myself. The only malfunctions I've had are user induced, failure to lock back on the last round because my thumb was on the slide lock lever.

I would have happily taken that old unreliable P228 off your hands....

I got spoiled with my P-01's.

The Glock 19M wasn't used long before a replacement was named.

Yeah, only had them for what? 3-4 months and they want to dump them already.

Yeah that is their bread and butter 19 for government contracts.

That is very, very unlike the Marine Corps that I have known. They are usually the last service to change to new weapon technology. Anyone have an idea why they decided to change horses in mid stream?

Each pistol comes with a box of crayons and bottle of glue?

Only MARSOC is authorized glue.

Only MARSOC is authorized glue.

To be fair, they tried to field paste at Force Recon, but all the Force guys gained too much weight, so they shelved it.

Hey, I'm no General but it seems to me that having a bunch of jarheads on the battlefield swinging their own glocks around at the enemy has got to be counter productive.
