[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 2762221, member: 24531"] A Sig pistol is fine for LEO that will go out with it clean each day for duty and not see war or 2yrs in the desert or jungle...but if you have to stake your life on something (especially from a military perspective), then Glock is the way to go...it is the AK of pistols really. I am not surprised a bit that the Sig was rejected on its ability to be reliable under stressed conditions...Of course, it must be an entirely different team doing the testing/approval of the rifles because the military is STILL using a 1950's, less reliable direct impingement rifle and even worse it's a carbine! If they had chosen a [U]Sig[/U] gas piston [U]rifle[/U] and a Glock pistol then they'd be best equipped for reliability under neglect & harsh conditions... I also find it interesting that OHP chose a strike fire pistol other than Glock; why do that?...if Sig was so great, then they should use the P226...they even make an LEO DAO version...but then again I'd choose Glock :) [/QUOTE]
