SIG MCX issues in Germany?

[ABNAK]

I have to imagine that there's more to winning these contracts than price and specifications. But I'm jaded.

Oh I'm sure that is the case. Pray tell how many retired generals or full-birds now work as "consultants" for SIG? Just thinking out loud.....

Sig usa products seem to always be garbage.

They don’t win contracts because they are good. They win contracts by just meeting the requirements and underbidding everyone else.

I've had a number if Sig USA and all excellent! A couple had minor cosmetic finish issues but I can't recall one FTF or any issue of the sort. Accurate out of the box! I had a Springfield XDS and I couldn't hit the side of a barn with that thing! I thought it was me then grabbed a Sig 365 and was punching nice tight groups! Both with 3" barrels. I never figured out why XDS was so inaccurate. I'm jonesing for a 365 XL after trying a buddies!

^^^ This. People want an easy solution, a one stop shop, and too often that just isn't the case.

Everyone makes something that was crap.

HK had the G36.

SIG has lots of questionable stuff.

Glock had the unsupported .40 chambers.

Colt had the 2000 handgun.

^This.

I'll quit hating Sig when their rear sights quit falling off the pistols I'm issued. Even with the rear sights screw loctited. Not saying all their products suck, but I'm not a fan of their business practices.
