    for what it’s worth, this issue is well known within the gun community and is a large sore spot for Sig enthusiasts.

    it’s common place to point out this issue any time a listing for these appears in forums etc

      Good that people are doing that, but I don’t think that excuses Sig. Like, if Nerf sold a gun that discharged accidentally they’d probably eat a product liability lawsuit over it, I don’t know why a firearms manufacturer should get a pass.

        do not take anything i’ve said as any indication that Sig should get a pass.

        I shoot Glock because it’s the firearm i have. i’m not into brand fanboyism

        The knowledgeable people in the community do try to dissuade people from purchasing this model.
