I'm Done With Sig Sauer and this is why - Donnie D

Well, I was thinking about getting rid of my Sig Pro 2009 9mm, but I've had second thoughts ( reference my last post). I took another look at it. I have never had a failure with it, and it has a 10 round, and a 15 round mag. Decided to keep it.
 
any body else hating on SIG???? hit me up....

I guess this thread has made me look like a real A hole, and I'm sorry for that. If the fellow from Sig had just told me
up front that I could wait for the part, or buy the other gun for $399.95, I probably would have taken the option to wait. But he said buy it at a discount. To me that was some reasonable discount off of the $399.95. Just a misunderstanding on my part. My bad, my loss. I'll live.

By the way, who the heck is Karen K?

I might be late to this particular party but...I disagree. I don't think this thread makes you look like an ahole at all. It kinda does for a few people who chimed in though.

When it comes to .22 firearms I think it is reasonable to expect them to keep running so long as you maintain them. Sure, you might have to replace a spring or extractor or something like that. But for the SLIDE to come apart? That's BS and Sig should have offered to at least send you a new firearm even if it wasn't the same model.

We grew up shooting tube fed Marlins that we barely cleaned other than hitting it with some spray once in a while. Might have paid $75 for them at Walmart. But they run and shoot straight.

I have Sigs and I like them but this is pretty disappointing coming from them.

Friend of mine shot out the barrel of a G17. (150,000 rounds) He didn’t notice till his groups opened up. Sent it to Glock at their behest. They said the barrel was shot out and all kinds of micro cracks in the frame. They sent him a new one. Said they’d never had anyone wear out one of their guns.

Holy cow, how much does 150,000 rounds of ammo cost?

He carried it in multiple deployments as well as it being his primary match blaster, so Uncle Sugar paid for some of that powder.

It’s my understanding that he wasn’t *supposed* to carry his own sidearm when deployed but as a SF Team Sergeant he got some latitude.

I hate that for you. I bought a brand new MPX-K and the handguard cracked from installing a plastic MLOK section, something so simple that I put on all of my rifles / pistols. Literally a light tighten of the screw and the handguard cracked like a piece of brittle stone. I told Sig and sent them in the entire upper. Instead of them owning up to a possible bad heat treatment or bad batch, they charged me for an entirely new upper at $750. After dishing out $2K on the MPX alone not including any additional accessories I had purchased. They were extremely rude and condescending to me. I had 8 Sig firearms at the time, guess how many I own now? ZERO. Crap customer service and a company who is too proud to admit when they made a mistake in production. I will buy their optics only because Sig doesnt produce them.

This needs it's own thread entirely. And I thought the rust on a 365xl and the takedown pin falling out on a p938sas was bad.
 
interesting story on that Glock 17 with 150k rounds, that's a lot of shooting at today's prices, glad Glock stood by their product.

G17/19 now the SOCOM-issued sidearm. If the 'personal' Glock meets the issue Glock standards, they can carry. I don't know if it's prescribed in the regs that way, but certainly how things work.

In January of 2012 I purchased a Sig Sauer Mosquito from a large relatively local gun shop. I have shot it many times over the years, and was a very picky gun with ammo. However, I soon discovered that with the proper grain weight and velocity ammo, the gun would perform almost flawless.
About 2 weeks ago I was shooting it and after about 35 or so flawless rounds, the gun literaly fell apart in my hand. I did not have any injury to me, but the gun, not so much. When I picked up the parts, I discovered that about an inch back from the business end of the slide, the slide had sheared off.
I called Sig that day, and the rep was very nice and told me to ship it back to them and they would see what they could do. So that is what I did, at a cost of $55 to me.
The rep emailed me a day or two later saying they did not have a slide and had no idea how long it would be before they could get one from Germany. (mine is a German model) but they could offer me a discount on a p322. I researched and found I could buy one online at several places and at my 2 local gun shops for $399.
So I called Sig back and asked what they could do on the discount they were offering me.
$399.......................$399, the same price I can buy one for at pretty much any gun shop.
Doesn't look like much of a discount to me.
I told him to just forget it, and just ship my broken gun back. I'm done with Sig Sauer.

Am I somehow looking at this wrong? Looks like they are telling me to kiss off. How is that for customer service.

That particular firearm is actually not even manufactured by Sig it’s built by a company call German Sports Guns or GSG they offer that same firearm as their firefly model. They are very picky and because they use zinc alloy for the metal in the frame and slide they are prone to issues with the material breaking down.
