Sig MK25 ?

[Pappabear]

Is this MK25 good marketing or did Sig do anything to step up their game. I don't own any Sigs so I have no history, good or bad.

Or did they put lipstick on a pig?

Same Sig, same marketing

The MK25 has true 1913 picatinny rails instead of the current somewhat rounded rails on the regular "R" variants. It has some phosphated internal parts too.

But other than that, it's pretty much the same Sig P226.

I would have considered getting one but suitable duty grade holsters for it is virtually nonexistent.

It's their original USN with the phosphate internals, and a 1913 spec rail. Oh, and it's got a cute little sticker. Marketing more than anything.

Same shit, it's too bad those overpriced pistols are made better. They have potential so it seems.

Picatinny rail, phosphated internals, 3 mags, chrome lined barrel, and that bar code type sticker on the left side of the frame.

Okay, this is a tidbit I stumbled upon last week: there is a company located in India called Indo MIM (or Indo-MIM I've not looked them up yet) that is making all of Sig's INTERNALS for their pistols.

I see two problems: MIM Fire Control Group parts are a no-no to me (cannot polish said parts much as the very thin case hardening is easily worn away)

And why all the way to India? There are plenty of companies here in the USA that can produce said parts (that I do not like).

I have a friend in Massachusetts that has been telling me his buddy has been telling him that they've been "cleaning up quite a few" of these parts prior to shipping.

I don't buy Sig - but I do like the feel and accuracy of the P226.

SIG-Sauer has been using a lot of MIM parts in their pistols.
FAM (Federal Air Marshal) P229s don't have the MIM locking blocks and extractors and internals like the commercially available guns do. Their frames are also different.

Are those guns manufactured here? What is different about their frames?

I think so as well. I have a late 90s P226 that's an awesome pistol. It points really well, it's accurate, has a great trigger. There's really not a lot about it not to like.

There is a similar thread on the sigforum discussing whether the newest version of the P series is worth buying or not and one of the guys from Grays seems to think they've worked out their problems. Time will tell.
