Modular.
You mean, arched or flat mainspring housing, right?
What caliber is this latest and greatest Europopper, .380 Long again?
American warriors should carry American arms. Other countries should know that the stuff they are using isn’t good or powerful enough for us.
End get off my lawn mode.
Change is above my pay grade ...... Then there is my opinion.
At the rate the DOD can put out the request, budget the program to just evaluate, then field test and get the new and improved widget budget approved ...... anything new is shoved onto the troops just because if it’s a success or sucks it’ll take to0 long to redo the failed effort of selecting a new and improved widget.
I’m a big fan of Sig P220’s and P226’s . I’ve broken a few P220’s by using Corbon P+P+P+P+ fodder but learned my lesson early on by pretty much trying to make the 45ACP go faster. The P226 has always been fed 147gr OSM and or 147gr Speer Gold Dot Hollow Point.
This new modular Sig should be ok ....
USMC’s best move was the “ounces is pounds” concept IMO. That said my primary weapon DESIRED would be the Hk 416 with 77gr Mk262 ammo and a secondary firearm / pistol CHOICE a Glock 19 with 147gr GDHP ammo.
We have a real need for planners to look at past and present threats and address the success and failures properly. No handgun is guaranteed to “stop the threat”. Troops should be given the tools to mitigate at least and stop the aggressors at best.
If the issued sidearm can be configured for each individual troop while using the same magazines that can be shared on the battle field then fine. Ok.
Sig is a quality choice. But not in keeping with the OIP concept the USMC tries to follow.
Well, if you say so...
I’ve broken a few P220’s by using Corbon P+P+P+P+ fodder but learned my lesson early on by pretty much trying to make the 45ACP go faster.
I never saw any benefit in pushing things too hard. An '06 is not a .300 mag, a .45 Colt is not a .44 mag and reliability and accuracy falls off.
...and a secondary firearm / pistol CHOICE a Glock 19 with 147gr GDHP ammo.
I'm getting used to the idea of the 9mm, but I still don't like the idea of the Glock.
Still, glad you don't reject this concept out of hand. I want these men to have good tools when they are "down range" as it were.
I love my Sigs. But, the are all DA/SA action.
<<>>
Yes. I want to see the hammer.
Oh, what is OIP?
Ounces is Pounds OIP is a goal to reduce the weight of everything carried into combat. Think of ultralite backpacker goes to war sort of thang.
We can’t buy these in California. The Sig 320 is not on the California DOJ approved list of firearms.
I hate this putrid commie state.
Right. I’ve had many a conversation about trannies...usually dropping them, or replacing them, as you say.
But then I used to think gay meant happy, not sad, confused, hate-filled and diseased.
I might possibly own a few pistols. I’ve tried many including Berettas, Glocks and Sigs. I’ve never found one that was as ergonomic, accurate and reliable as my CZ-75. I’ve never had a single FTE or FTF and I’ve put well over 1,000 rounds through it. The CZ-2075 rami is my concealed carry. Admittedly, the rami is a bit wider than some other concealed carry sidearms I’ve seen. It is very accurate and reliable though.
The various CZ models and their copies have a reputation for feeling right in the hands.
Nothing fits my hand better than the Hi-Power.
Okay...two things,
My coffee is dripping off the table
And the dog is cowering in the corner.
But I can be considered Armed
With That Photo!
You are right, not fair to expose the poor pooch to such a thing.
Unless it is such a place as for him to be able to relieve himself on it!
“And every Sig i get my hands on is blocky and heavier than it should be.”
Have you tried the 320? I think its ergonomics are the best of the lot as far as Sigs go. I always though the M9 was blocky and bigger than it needed to be.
No matter. No one has learned from the Beretta 92 debacle.....It’s all Euro-crap....
Please give me one of John M Browning’s finest....105 years old and going strong..
The Marine’s issue these to their SOG (Raider/Force Recon/Recon) units......other services fight over getting USMC 1911 pistols......they know what to use when the chips are down....
All my HnK’s have over 5,000 rounds through them — zero hiccups. Extremely well made handguns!
I'm not a big Sig fan, have friends who are. Fired a few, agree they're blocky and heavy - have you noticed how little recoil they have?
That's because they're heavier than most other weapons. I get more recoil from my HnK's than I do any Sig I've fired. I love my HnK's though.
$112.50 tops. That’s my best and final offer!
ya, but I just picked up my Sig P320 RX in Aug.
My Sig P220 Carry SAO has 5k rds thru it, and only a bad batch of ammo has blemished its record.
Same ammo FTE’d in my Glock 36.
I'm heavily biased towards my HnK's maybe because I've owned them so long, have great muscle memory in my arthritic fingers for them and the safety is easy for my thumb to turn off.
It sucks getting older with this arthritis. Adapting to different weapons is really difficult sometimes.
