I went down yesterday and picked it up.

Very cool, will look great next to my Green Box M9 and U Serial# P226 Navy.

Started the process for the challenge coin and COA last night.

Is your slide a diff color then the frame? I picked mine up tonight and the slide is much darker then the frame. From the videos I have seen, they looked to be the same color or very similar

Tualum I would say it is a different shade. I would describe it as more bronze than the plastic frame.

I am not a huge fan of this color, if I bought a SCAR I would buy a black specimen as a result....

But this is supposedly what they are issuing with some delta to the inner part corrosion treatment.


Hope this helps.

I agree. My slide and small components are a very dark bronzesque type color. My take down lever almost looks like it was soaked in dirty oil.

Mine is a little diff it grows on you, the more you shoot it. Seems like a PVD type finish.

I don't know if it makes any difference to you guys, but I was over at the S&W website last night and their FDEs seem to have the same problem. I wonder if they consider it tacti-chic or just haven't gotten their dye shades down?

It's weird that there are no pictures in this thread. HOW DO WE KNOW IF ANY OF YOU ACTUALLY HAVE IT?!?!

I heard it described as "Delta Point Pro cut, as specified by the US Army Spec".

This is per the Sig M17 video on the Sig website.

They are cut for the Delta Point Pro but it should also accept a Romeo1.

I was thinking the same thing. I can pick mine up Saturday after 1pm, but since I have other obligations, it may not be until Sunday. I’ll post a pic of mine.

Found a deal on GB for 3 17rd Sig factory mags at $32 each, and NDZ Performance has aluminum FDE base plates. Don’t know how long it will be for Sig to get around to offering them, let lone the 21 rounders.

Is there a way to upload photos from your phone? All I see is how to attach them
Via URL, and I don’t want to upload them to Dropbox or anything like that.
