That was just the P320. Otherwise Sig has a truly excellent track record.

I may have confused the models. You're probably right.

I was never a fan because they're overpriced. If I'm going to spend that much I may as well buy HK. CZ is more my speed.

@Spaceman84 yeah Sig is famous for putting out a great product with one or two GLARING flaws, and then fixing it for the unofficial "gen 2". Same thing happened with the 365's which were fucking garbage, with type 2 and 3 malfunctions being common. Worked out the kinks and now they work great.

Maybe the FN manufactured rifles. The Colts were garbage in my experience.

8.3 AND 12 LBS SOUNDS RELATIVELY LIGHT? I carried a Remington 12 gauge on patrol and that fucker got heavy pretty quick.

5lbs lighter than the M249

lift a 5 lb weight. now carry it with your arm in a 90 degree bend for 15 minutes

I had to carry a 240B. Fucker weighed 27lbs unloaded.

I'm not a big guy. My shoulder still hurts from time to time. Newfags don't know how good they've got it.

A weapon is only as effective as the operator's ability to perform...I don't care how many rnds per second a weapon can spit out, anyone with my shooting experience can do a lethal job at 1,000m with one rnd out of a 270WSM, 7mm mag or 300WINMAG...this "spray and pray" hollywood shit has a lot of people fucking fooled, auto fire is close confrontation in which case the AK47 and 74s have out performed all fancy brands. I have 7.62 SKS weapons that I can easily configure to auto-fire with modified clip/mag capacity that I would prefer over this jew mandated modern shit.
Oh yeah, another thing, in the sidearm category, Glocks are garbage and to me SIG is just a fancy Glock that doesn't fit the hand like a Beretta Centurion.

The only thing you're missing is a turbocharger...all my weapons are of top quality, I load all my rnds to custom spec and that includes a proprietary design for 780 and 800grn tungsten composite projectiles with a ballistic coefficient of 1.060, also CNC "gas check " of a depth I won't reveal and this is for my STEYER HS 50 M1. I stock spare mags [$500.00 each], spare fluted barrels fitted with muzzle brake [$2,500.00 each] and a series of 6x34x50 optics. All my rnds from 9mm to 44mag and 22-250, 375 and up to 50cal are customized from my 45 years of reloading and working with explosives. When you custom formulate pressures proportionate to velocity based upon charge volume relative to a specific nitric compound LET ME KNOW....UNTIL THEN YOU'RE AN AMATEUR.

The .277 Fury (6.8x51) is intended to penetrate armor. Different combat doctrine than the .223/5.56, which was intended for spray and pray. This has considerably more recoil.
