They are ISSUED the Sigpro. They are at liberty to purchase any other handgun and use it on duty. Lots of them go the revolver route in .357. Still doesn't change the fact that the SIGpro is their official sidearm. Now, remind me, why are you trying to get on my nerves here, and what's your point?

Sig SP2022: why doesn't everyone have one of these???
- Thread starter 92G
- Start date
Your words
The fact is many of the elite service members choose something different, so the idea that it is "good enough for everybody" doesn't hold water. Ironically more photos show GIGN members using glocks than Sig's yet those are somehow beneath you
Not sure what your nerves have to do with it.... Is the Internet bro, relax

That is understandable since you shoot a gun manufactured from recycled milk cartons
Yes, although this is only using the "assuming MA obeys the BATFE mantras" on the issue. BATFE always maintained that modifying a preban mag was OK as long as you did not destroy the ability for the magazine to work in the original firearm it was intended for. So cutting extra notches, etc, is generally considered kosher.
That said if your magazines are under that kind of scrutiny you likely have FAR bigger issues to deal with than pre-ban mag BS. (none of these charges ever come on their own, there is usually an enchilada of BS attached to them. )

Hm. I was at the LGS just this weekend. It was either the 2022 or the Beretta 92FS.
I went with the 92FS. Just felt better in my hands. I don't know, but for me, I hated the de-cocker on the Sig. Maybe I am used to my SW 5906 and the de-cocker on the slide.

They use only virgin polymer pellets over there at Glock.

Over on SigForum, the 2022 is generally considered Sig's best kept secret.
Shhhh... Don't tell the boys who insist on shooting that plastic brick with the funny grip angle. Let them continue with their spring loaded wonders and be happy.

Why doesn't everyone have one of these? Because P226's and Glocks exist?
Did sig tell you what the issue was?

It is a solid pistol, but not my cup of tea. DA/SA pistols are not everybody's thing. I don't generally mind them that much (though certainly don't like), but the one 2022 I've shot (several times), the DA trigger pull was nearly unshootable. I don't know the pull weight, but whatever it was, it was rubbish. The SA shot just fine. If it was SAO with a safety, I'd have liked it better. The DA trigger in a real situation would have just been another way to cock the hammer because I certainly wouldn't be hitting what I want with it at any distance besides muzzle touching. Maybe a bit of hyperbole, but the point is, the DA trigger blew.
Too bad sig didnt give you a full replacement. Sounds like you got a lemon SP2022. When was it manufactured?
goes to show how every manufacturer puts out occasional garbage...so IMO the big question is how they treat the customers who end up w the crap guns.....if the gun still fails after repairs it should be completely replaced or else the manufacturer sucks.
i own a P226 also and honestly i find the SP2022 just as reliable. Of course the 226 is a better gun in literally every way but its also >2x the price.

I purchased it roughly 2 years ago. And I never had a problem with any other Sig I have ever owned. P-228, P-225 and P-239, all excellent pistols. As far as customer service goes, Sig is about as bad as it gets. I lost a screw on P-225 grip and they charged me $6 bucks for the screw plus shipping.
