SIG SAUER P226 VIDEO - Nothing but problems

[Wolvee]

Yes, all SIGs are crap. We all know that Glocks and M&P's have never encountered QC issues (especially when everyone is pumping out record amounts of guns), never have parts breakage nor do they ever malfunction.

I only bought 2 Glocks last year, a G26 and a G20 and I already had an M&P.357sig. They all run great. Then I buy my first Sig @ $1200 and it doesn't function and then breaks. Imagine my displeasure after talking up Sigs for so long based on their track record. Then I have two more brand new Sigs fail on me. The fourth a cheap P250 ran fine but after the issues from the others I finally gave up.

I can accept the thought that the more guns that are made will obviously have more complaints. Especially, on the internet but when I spend $3500 in guns and $3k of them fail on me and have to go back, I'd say that's more than bad luck. That's straight Evil.

I'm the type of person who only likes the best. ...Or at least the best that I can afford. I was told for as long as I can remember the Sig was one of the best. I just wish my examples of their products showed me that type of value. I really loved my TacOps.

Could I just be the most unlucky customer in the world? Maybe, but that's the way it is.

Directly to the OP and his issue, send it back to Sig. Send it back as many times as it takes till you either get tired of it or you pay a good Gunsmith to figure out the problem.

I regret I allowed myself to get dragged into this off-topic conversation.

I'm just looking for help to get my buddy's SIG P226 running properly.

I wish you guys would not have derailed the topic with all this non-related crap.

How about you start up a new topic devoted to "Sig-Sauer Management Problems" and have at it?

OK?

I doubt you will, but hey, it was worth asking.

As was said earlier in this thread: Have your buddy send it to Sig and they will take care of it.

Now why don't you stop whining and go make a video or something.

Wow, 5 posts and you are already proving yourself to be a Class A Jerk.

Congrats, and keep up the good work.

It's not all about post count. I don't feel the need to post all that often, but the 200 threads you've made on this board so far to try to get hits on your youtube channel have gotten kind of annoying.

Thanks for increasing the signal to noise ratio on this site.

Here's a thought. Crawl back into your little hole and come out only when you have something thoughtful to contribute to a discussion.

Now, run along.

[jst0915]

You have the answer of what you should do to get your buddy's Sig fixed. As far as I'm concerned there is nothing left to contribute to this thread, so I'm going to bow out.

Well, at least this topic has brought your contribution count up to 7 comments. Congrats.

just FYI.... SIG USA does not manufacture the P226 for NSW-(SEALs)..... that firearm is manufactured in Germany....

Source? I've heard the opposite. Some frames may be made in Germany on previous buys, but many SIGs on the civy side are too.

ETA... Mk25's, NSW's latest order of P226's are made here in the US. So are their P239's and HK45CT's.

Funny, the paper target bad guy never moved.

Train like you fight, Bo.

Buying a modern Sig that states "Made in Germany" is no more of an indication of good quality controls and materials than "Made in USA" is an indication of poor quality controls and materials.

Products made overseas are produced to either the manufacturer's specs, or the importer's specs. For instance, GMC's plant in Brazil produces and exports vehicle parts with different materials and quality standards depending on the demands of the customer. Sig Sauer USA may have their frames and a few other parts produced in Germany, but quality and materials are set by Sig Sauer USA depending on what they want to bring to the US market.
