      Is the money you spend on a SIG worth it?!?

      I forgot to mention there was 1 Sig I hated which wasn't mine.It was the P250 compact 9mm. That was a horrible gun to shoot.

      Is the money you spend on a SIG worth it?!?

      I agree,the price was very reasonable for them new.People try to see them used for the price of a new one. The only upgrade I would suggest is the guide rod.Mine started having small chunks missing after 500 rounds and it is a cheap upgrade that is worth it. I'm not to much on "plastic" guns but...

      Is the money you spend on a SIG worth it?!?

      I have a SP2022,which is not a high end Sig,but it is full size and somewhat like the P226. For what I paid new for the gun,it shoots just as good as a higher end Sig except it has a Poly frame. I did replace the guide rod with a stainless steel one but other then that,nothing else has been done...

      I OCed in Walmart. This was spawned in another thread.

      I have open carried in Wal Mart and many other places and never had anyone say anything negative about it to me.I get some stares but never approached. I try to cover the gun with my shirt but sometimes it can be seen. I'm all for OC,I think it's a good way to divert a criminal from doing...

      Pocket Gun Show -N- Tell

      I picked up a 32 Caliber Cobra CB32 Long Derringer tonight for a good price.I'll carry it along with my normal carry gun as a backup.

      So, am I an idiot or not for deciding to pass on this deal?

      I have to agree.Sigs are one of the nicer guns out there but I would never say the best. It's all about preference.I have owned a few Sigs,the 2022 9mm and 40cal and a P220 in 45 cal and have shot a P250.If I had it to do all over again I would of kept the P220 and 2022 40 cal.I liked them the...

      Ruger SR45

      I liked the SR45 and had one but moved on to better guns. I have considered getting another used if I can find it. They are accurate but I think to big to carry.I have a Star Firestar 9mm that is smaller I carry concealed but weighs a lot more then the SR45 due to it being a steel frame.

      Handgun Show-N-Tell

      My 9mm Star M43 I picked this up the other day.I like the size of it and fits well in my jacket pocket. Haven't had a chance to take it on the range but for a 20 year old firearm.it's in good condition and doesn't look to have been used much.Downside,I only have 1 magazine with it and they...

      Negative Comments for Carrying

      My family knows I carry and they don't care.I know my dad hates guns so I put it in the safe when he comes over.I respect how he feels about the subject and not worth the argument. If I go out,I usually have it with me but have left it at home when I know I am going somewhere that guns are not...

      Sig Sauer P320 Review and Range Report (Warning: LOTS of Images!)

      I'm out of the dog house now.G/F shot it and now sees why I got the Sig for and why I want another. I think I would rather avoid the Striker Fire guns and go with something that has a hammer instead.I am looking at one now that is smaller then my 2022,I just can't remember the model number. I...

      Looking for a 45

      I'd look at the Sig or Ruger 1911. I have held both and shot a Ruger 1911 and I was impressed with the way the Ruger shot.I liked how the Sig as well,but haven't had a chance to shoot a Sig 1911.

      Damned Glocks!

      If people would just check to see if the chamber is clear then there would be no accidental shootings when cleaning a firearm. I drop the mag and check and make sure the round that is chambered is out.I look a few times before cleaning any gun,not just my Sig. I am not a fan of Glocks,but I...

      Made huge mistake this morning

      Nothing has changed for me.Been doing the same thing for years. I would find another job,but this economy and my lack of work experience would get me no where in looking.I have tried. Plus I do make more then Min wage which anymore is hard to find. The workforce has changed in the last 20 years...

      Made huge mistake this morning

      At night I would have the gun by me out of a safe,one in the chamber and magazine in it. I never slept with it locked up or one out of the chamber. I now have it in the safe with the magazine in but no rounds in the chamber and I moved the safe to my dresser so I have to get out of bed to get to...
