Howdy everybody,
I've been lurking for a while and finally registered for an account. Just got back from Shot Show where my goals were to find M+M, handle the 553 pistol and SBR with my own hands and also hopefully meet Mike Otte. I did all three and while at the show I also ordered and paid for two of each SG553P, that's two rail and two diopter weapons.
Planning to SBR one of each eventually, a commando config seems a no brainer and I see it becoming quickly my favorite carbine, mostly due to its size and Swiss-ness.
For those of you who ordered these, which variant did you order and why? I see greater utility from the rail model but for aesthetic and historical reasons a diopter model seems more true to the 55x line. I'm hoping to add rail extensions to the diopter models as well, for maximum flexibility.
Hope to talk more now that I'm definitely in the "all Swiss" 55x club now with my recent purchases -- my 551-A1 doesn't really count, in fact buying it last year only made me want to get my hands on real Swiss Sig rifles even more, it didn't satiate my wants as I'd hoped.
