      I hope he wins. Sig was a dumb choice given the known track record of incidents.

      I guess rushing the procurement process to replace the Browning pistol was ill-advised..(checks notes)… twelve years clearly was not enough.

      A little off topic..

      Sig deliberately under cut the cost of its competitors in the replacement trials (ex. Glock, Cz, etc..) on the fact they know in the long run they will recoup and make a profit by locking in the service contract for these handguns. Further, how the handgun replacement RFI was written pretty much favoured Sig (ex. standalone FCU, modular frame, etc..) having certain requirements that its competitors didn’t or niche to have.

      Allegedly, the issue with the uncommand discharge is due to parts tolerance being loose either because by design or during manufacturing QC was off, or sub standard parts from third party suppliers.

      Also to note, this is Sig Sauer USA not Sig Sauer Germany (which closed down). Overall, Sig Sauer make great firearms but the P320 product line really dragged it through the mud. The P320 is like the Ford Pinto of handguns.

      C22 is a different version than the US version. Ours is much safer. Thousands of rounds shot and not one incident where I work. The JTF2 version was a much different version than the Reg force C22 as well, so this shouldn’t even be compared.

      People are quick to blame the gun or this and that and not to blame themselves because of being embarrassed.

      The C22 was not rushed and glock did not win the bid, as much as I would have preferred the glock, that is not what we got.

      Let’s see what the investigation finds before saying it’s a “sig” thing. It is in the news because it is news worthy.

      Edit: because I know I will be down voted for saying the obvious. Let’s see what the investigation finds before coming to a conclusion. Such logic.

      In a way, I have to hand it to SIG. They couldn’t have timed the release of the pistol better. They dialled in the release at a time of overall economic slowdown, austerity and sidearm rotations across various organizations to put out a pistol that was cheap compared to the competition. It worked to get buyers that’s for sure, now they have to deal with the blowback of putting out an ass tier pistol.

      You gotta be pretty talented to fuck up the first pistol procurement of the CAF since WW2, when your options are infinite.

      Now we’ve lost the capabilities of a JTF member and an MP, people we spent millions of dollars investing in, just for them to get screwed by their equipment.

      Stupid question:

      Why not stay with older known models?

      Like is there any significant improvement on newer models? Are they cheaper?

      Personally I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between getting shot with a 20 year old CZ 9mm or some 2026 brand.
