    I wonder what's up with that barrel profile that Sig is using on the new rifle. And that red dot setup looks like total crap. It seems Sig USA has taken the McDonald's Happy Meal toy approach to combat rifles.

    I've had a SIG P228, P229 and a P220ST. The only ones I regret selling are the P228 and the P220ST and I've been trying reaquire them.

    my dept's SRT is going these things. they are simply sold on the Sig name since they carry Sig pistols. they are dumping their Sig 552's, so you would think they would get a clue.

    How innovative of them.... After all, there's a huge shortage of AR type rifles on the market at the moment...

    SIG

    Had a fellow LEO tell me last year with all the issues SIG has been having, he said SIG should stand for Seriously Inept Gun-owner. It would seem to me that they have taken a fine handgun and made it mediocre, and worse yet have now started to cater to the ignorant masses looking for "hollywood tactical" style bullshit in an AR platform.

    I find bikini covers often work better backwards.They tend to leave a smudge on the rear glass if used "properly" (if the lens isn't recessed).

    ...Not that it was intentional in the photo.

    As someone who owns a 550, 551, and 550 Sniper, it's really disheartening to hear that the 556 seems to not even be in the same league with those fine Swiss made rifles. I have a German 228 and US made 229 and NSW226. The NSW 226 shoots extremely well, but the finish is not even close to my USPs. I shoot the 226 the least and there's already finish wear near the ejection port.

    The 516 doesnt look that impressive.

    Here are my Swiss made 55X's.
