Oh! I know!

How about a striker fired double stack polymer pistol?

Completely uninspired....

I will probably purchase a P220 10mm (not Kryptec camo BS) and another P938. Other than that, I think my Sig buying days are over.

10mm MPX Pistols, of course. That it got left off last time (when MPXs were developed in the first place) was a damn shame, and the 10mm pistol runs were handled goofy with glaring omissions from the offerings, too.

The world needs a readily available, uber reliable, affordable, MP5/10 alternative...

A P225 SAO Legion with 9 round flush fitting mags would be a sweet carry piece.

Or I would also like a pistol with the same dimensions of a P239, but with a double stack 9mm mag. If they can make a P365, which is smaller than a P239, they can probably build a gun that is large enough for shooters to get a full grip on, but is still very concealable. Plus it would have more capacity. The grip might have to be slightly larger, but that would be okay.

Sig should keep making internal extractors for those millions of use who still depend on older P228s, P220s, and P226s for self-defense and home protection. With all those older guns in circulation, why in heaven's name would Sig stop making that particular replacement part? My head tells me that it's to force buyers to purchase newer Sigs and make the company even more money. My heart says that Sig would never do such a thing. Who knows?

In the 90s, Sigs were highly regarded; perhaps the most respected gunmaker in the industry. These days, Sigs get odd, mixed reactions at the range. If I'm wearing my P226, P228, or P220, those guns tend to be respected. If I'm wearing my P320C, the jokes abound by the dozen. "Don't drop it." "He's got a P320. Call the bomb squad." I'm completely serious. I guess the P320 has a significant image issue that's going to take a lot of time to fix, even in this striker-fired world we live in.

^^ Either that or it's the latest version of "Ford vs. Chevy". I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Why would we want Bruce to tell SIG to make trigger for a model that has long been discontinued?

SAO offerings of the classic standard P series pistols.

Ya' know, I get why so many folks have their pet model they want, and it's hard to argue that Sig might not pull some of these out of the air and do them. Lord knows they've cranked out some head-scratchers before that serve little purposed but to hock the same old things that offer nothing really new except a paint job (P938 Legion? Really?). Asking for that is only making the problem worse.

And is it really likely anyway that Mr. Gray is going to spend hours on end relaying to the Sig Head Shead all the tidbit custom wish list items that are flooding this thread? Of course not, ain't reasonable.

But what he could do, with much more diplomacy than ourselves no doubt, is to suggest Sig gets far away from its current mid-70's Elvis look they're currently sporting (fat, bloated, over dressed, too shiny and living too much on past reputation), and refocus. Bust ass to regain more of the '68 Come Back Elvis look (get in the gym, drop a lot of dead weight, put on muscle, lose the silly sequins, get mean and lean again in black leather).

Yes it's a very flawed metaphor, but it's only an illustration that they could be and should be what they were once. Do we really want more of the same, a torrent of individual, specific, narrow market models that appeal only to a handful of folks? It would be far more profitable for Sig and its devotees if the company just got better, a lot better.

Quality, service and reputation first.
Cool, obscure stocking stuffers later.

Q


Because some of us keep asking....It took 20 years of asking Hogue to make anything for the 225 before it made the list. Many of us asked for Grips long before the market was flooded with cheap P6's.....Just think of all that revenue lost. After we get the Trigger, 25 years from the day, we'll see Stainless 225 Classic 225's in .357 Sig enter the production lines. You gotta have faith. You of all people should know that the 225 will never die. I still remember the 225's gathering dust in the showcases during the WonderNine Wars of the early- Mid '90's......

Id like to see a P225A SAO

Also it looks like from the website they don't do the P220 Legion in SAO anymore?

1) I'd like to see a continuous flow of imports from SanSwiss like the 553, 551, 550 and SAPR. If FN can bring in SCARs, it seems like SIGARMS should be able to bring in Swiss 550 series rifles in the same manner.

2) The American P210 seems to be doing well as referenced by American Rifleman's recent article.

My recommendation... Don't screw them up!

3) Consider hiring an in-house QA staff instead of outsourcing QA to the consumer.

Sigpro with P22# mag compatibility.

Machined parts as opposed to MIM.

Night sights as standard.

Ilaflon as standard.

Aggressive marketing for DA/SA as AIWB carry (it's working for Langdon)

Can't happen due to restrictions.

How about we go back to making one of those (don't care which one) here and with decent quality.

Sig 10mm redone for a higher capacity and, if possible, lower the bore a little. THAT would be the perfect all around 10mm. Imagine that for a trail gun !

Speaking of Bruce Gray...I haven't seen him post in some time now.

Is he still around?

Yup, I sure am! I just took a break to focus on my work. I’ll be posting and answering questions a lot now, again. I think Para missed me (zero that thing next time!) and I’ve missed taking guff from some of the usual suspects here. More than anything, I miss being helpful to all our friends here, and throwing ideas around.
