    Just because people on this forum demand the best does not make anyone a "gun store commando". To me a "gun store commando" or "mall ninja" is the guy who preaches that DPMS and RRA are equal to a Colt.
    To me it's the guy who has all the latest gear and is still on his first case of ammo.

    A little while back there was talk of my agency possibly purchasing these for SWAT right after Cincy PD bought theirs. Sig came to our agency with the 516 and pretty much everything else they make.

    I handled one of the SBR versions of the 516. Sorry, but I can't remember the barrel length. I didn't shoot it enough nor do I consider myself qualified to give an opinion on it.

    In addition to it being yet "unproven", I wasn't reassured by the fact that the "piston" parts were only available through Sig and that parts from other manufacturer's piston systems wouldn't work on the Sig. This along with the price, around $1300, also factored into my arguing against purchasing them.

    We eventully ended up trading our MP-5s for Colt Commandos.
