...We have long maintained that the only accessories that a 1911 needs are a trigger you can manage, sights that you can see, and a dehorning job. That still goes.

I agree with this.
The Sig piston AR isn't a bad thing, but it's not a good thing either, I don't care that they're making it. But those classics... the real ones. Maybe with the rail for optics, sure... I'd be much more happy. I do not like how they changed up the trigger guard on their 550 mag lowers.

Muzzle punch optional.

What price? Is it comparable to a DD/BCM/Colt/S&W with an optic?

No optic. Just a base rifle. Gabe Suarez is saying the Sig makes his DD pale in comparison.

The decision seems obvious.

If the information Gabe Suarez is putting out about the SIG516 is correct, LWRC has lost its lawsuit against SIG.

Well, I have and use a 16" 516 on a regular basis. Its a fine weapon with over 1400 rounds downrange and no tilt/wear issues and not one failure of any kind. Printed .15"CTC at 50 yds with XM193 and an EoTech XPS2 benched on my last zero check, averages .55" CTC according to my notes.
Is it a revolutionary weapon that nothing comes close too, no. Is it a very accurate and well made/functioning piston AR, yes.
Take from that what you will.
