“The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

Drop it? Like throw it in a room full of bad guys and they're all dead before it stops rattling around on the floor?

The lockwork design of these pistols was just incompetent. I took one look at all those rotating rather than sliding internal safety parts and predicted they would be a drop fire problem. SIG USA is not a gun design firm of any standing like Sauer or SIG Swiss. Anyone remember how the original P229 slides cracked? Same people.

Here's a telephonic interview with a marketing executive from SIG. Sound quality is not the best but there's some good info here:

Edited to add that this video is already posted here on the forum. Link to that thread here:

Anyone heard if the M17 problems this presenter is referring to from the government report have been corrected?

Ball ammo issues!?!

My understanding is that those issues occurred with the prototype weapons and are supposed to be resolved with the production versions.

I think he's actually making a joke....

I'm sure the military isn't planning on accepting weapons that can't cycle ball. Just wondering if the resolution you're referring to actually happened yet.

Lets just drop it.I think he's actually making a joke....

No! Don't drop it!
Yes, I was joking too and maybe a little to far. My apologies.
