[QUOTE="RugersGR8, post: 3168865, member: 56"] If you are a Sig Sauer fan, go for it. I was only going by the problems brought out in the video. IMHO, there were too many for me. I have never been in the service so the following are only my uneducated thoughts on the pistol and its reliability/durability. The largest number of problems are in the red dot sight(not directly related to pistol but affects the function use of the pistol). Iron sights don’t co-witness with the red dot sights. If you use red dot sights, you lose the iron sights(rear). If you have to replace the battery, you have to take the red dot off the pistol, replace the battery, replace the red dot on the pistol and you lose zero. Red dot sight controls and the sight itself is not robust enough for battle conditions(MHO). The were more, but you can watch the video. On the pistol itself, this was a brand-new gun with only two magazines through it and the finish is already starting to wear. If the sight plate screw comes lose, it can jam the action(this would be a major concern IMHO). If you lose red dot capability, you have only a point and shoot pistol with no iron sights to fall back on for accurate fire. [/QUOTE]
