Thinking of getting one. Anyone out there with one have any feedback. I'm considering 357SIG, or 40S&W, since I don't have either. Would fill the caliber gap between my 9mm and 45ACP.

I've got the older version (the Blackwater Tactical) as well as the Combat Threaded Barrel.

Do yourself a favor if you want to shoot the gun regularly and get 9mm. I bought an HK Custom Combat in .40 and regretted it since I liked to shoot it a lot.

I love the Blackwater and Combat (but eventually combined them into a franken gun - frame/barrel of the CombatTB and slide/grips/mags of the Blackwater):

Here's the leftover parts (Combat Slide/grips/mags and blackwater frame/barrel):

This is my beater gun - I've gone all the way to 800rds without cleaning it and no malfunctions other than the slide not locking back on last round (to be fair, the place I shoot has a lot of sand and I dropped the mags in it doing mag-change drills a lot - there was a ton of sand in each mag and a dead spider in one of them).

I'd stake my life on either of my Sigs.

Nice guns EZ Bake. If I go with a 9mm I would probably sell my XDM 9mm, which I really like. That's why I was looking at 357sig or 40. I do like metal guns a lot better than plastic though.

Nothing wrong with having more than one 9mm. I used to own a bunch of different calibers, but for me - I wasn't shooting them all when ammo started to climb in price. I've started shooting my guns a lot more in life and I still don't reload, so my choice was to go with the cheapest caliber I could go with to get the most out of all my guns.

Don't get me wrong, I still want another 1911 (just because), and I've got a J-frame in .38 (everyone needs one), but other than those calibers (counting 9mm), I've only got .22, .223, and .308.

Makes for easy ammo stock-piling :D

The tac ops grip is a little different, it has the short reset triger 60% less travel for reset. and the fiber optic front sites help me.

My Blackwater Tactical has the SRT, and Fiber front sight (I thought all of them did). I didn't think that the Tac Ops had Sig's new Enhanced grip, so what specifically are you talking about?
