It looks as if the new stainless frames coming out of Germany are cast. This is very recent.

I was just beginning to regain faith in the new Sig but at a premium price, there's no point in buying a handgun that has less quality than a used one with better QC.

The pictures in that thread are very alarming. Not what I expected coming out of Sig Germany.

My suggestion is to buy pre-2004 Sigs. They have great parts, plenty of life, better QC and will cost about 60% of what a new one off the line is.

dang, thats unacceptable w/ their price level. I might have to find some american pistols I like or go back to HKs

and it doesnt look like any US manufacturer makes a traditional DA/SA pistol anymore, all single action or striker fired

Somebody take some ultra fine grit to that pistol!

Way to go, SIG...

Hey, now you have me thinking that my Sig 1911 is cast... I will just have to check.

I have heard that the massachusetts state police tested the new sigs for possible adoption.

They were rejected because of parts being soft and wearing out prematurely.

I don't know if it was small or major parts.

I don't think mine is cast, but I looked at it and if it is oh well. I will shoot it anyway.

Caspian 1911 frames are cast and no one complains about their QC, longevity and craftsmanship.

When I read the title of the thread, I thought you were talking about this:

Had a SIG in 9mm and did not like it. Would not fire about half of the the Eygptian milsurp I tried in it. I much prefer the Browning Hi Power which fires any 9mm ammo with no problems.
