Sig Sauer P556 pistol

[Detective_D]

Ok, I have a buddy that comes to my desk today asking about this gun. Does anyone know anything about it and I am guessing it is pretty new from what I have read so far. So, does anyone know about the reliability of said pistol as well? I have no idea about anything pertaining to AR pistols, so I thought I would see what you guys think about this thing, so I could let him know what I found out.

I have had one and I know other people that have also. They are fun to shoot and are reliable. The only complaint I have about them was the weight. The Sig556 platform is just heavy, especially front heavy. I ended up selling mine and going with the new LWRC PSD pistol.

Good analysis and spot on.

I bought one of the first batch, like mentioned, the 556 is front heavy, I would not own a full length, but the 556P is nice (i went to a cut 551 hg to even things out). It was my first SBR, and it is a joy to shoot, I had Bill Springfield work the trigger, and it is smoooth :D
I went 750 without cleaning or lubing before breaking down and cleaning it, I wanted to see how it would do being a piston and all :rolleyes:
I only had 4 FTFs, it was a sub zero day, and i used grease, so when i dropped the bolt on a new mag, it didnt bring it all the way home.
Heres a pic with my current setup, also has a Griffen charging handle. I am waiting for an aftermarker 55x lower
