i got a phone call from a friend tuesday who was in a bind, he was having car trouble and was in need of some quick cash. he asked me if id be interested in buying a Sig pistol hed bought last weekend that had 0 rounds thru it. i was a little hesitant due to some of the issues they'd had with the early ones (soft slides, poorly designed recoil spring, mag issues, and issues with the feed ramp), but after doing a little homework and checking the serial numbers to make sure it was a newer one (2011) and checking it for the new flat recoil spring and redesigned mag i decided to help him out. he said he would let it go for $450 even tho he paid $580 + tax for this little gun w/nite sights and the rosewood grips.

i took this gun and my 2nd LCP i bought last wekend (my girl has "confiscated" my 1st LCP as hers ) out wednesday and i will admit, so far the little Sig is a shooter. i had one FTFeed in the first mag i put thru it, but it definitely smoothed out and functioned like a champ from then on. 250+ rounds of various ammo and zero malfunctions.

10 yd 1 1/2" groups was pretty much the norm, and with the Hornady CD ammo i was able to cut that in half. when i stepped out to 20 yards they opened up to just under 4". very acceptable for a small pistol imo. recovery time between shots is very quick and the 3 dot sights are very easy to pickup. i will get out to the farm in the next couple days and will post more results when i get to put more rounds downrange. so as of now i can say, so far so good.

I picked up one of those very Sigs (except in Equinox) for the wife. Damned if I don't end up carrying it more than she does. I'm a big guy, usually carry a full frame 45, 1911 or G21SF, but now I can carry this little guy in my pocket instead. Only thing I had to do was polish the feedramp since my PDX-1s kept failing to feed properly. Now runs like a champ. Picked up a couple 7 rnd mags with pinky extensions for comfort. Very nice deal

everywhere ive looked the 7 rd mags are on backorder, so im just gonna have to wait.
outta curiosity, did the pinky extension give you any noticable improvement in your groups?

Yeah, I had to wait a bit til Midway got some in. Only 5 days so not bad at all. Seems they come in pretty frequently. Just wish they were cheaper...

It was definitely more comfortable with the extension but I didn't notice a huge difference in groupings. Was nice not having the pinky hanging in no-mans-land, which always bugs me.

One note I did have on the ext. mags...hard to explain kinda. Due to the pinky extension, they don't always seat properly with the slide closed. I always carry +1 and usually have to press on the baseplate of the mag itself to seat it properly in the magwell since the mag seems to "float" inside the grip ext. If that makes sense? Not a problem when reloading from an open slide but if you were working on some sort of combat reload, could pose a problem.

Obligatory pic of mine :)

I've been thinking of getting one of these.
