What?
All SIGs are very robust, as robust if not more so than anything on the market
What are you basing that on?
Because they should be being expensive and in theory German made and all?
Because you read it in [insert favorite gun rag] with the full page SIG add on the back cover?
Because your fellow internet buddies over at sigsrockmyworld.com told you so?
Because you own one?
Are they any more "robust" than Rugers?
Are they any more "robust" than Glocks?
Are they any more "robust" than good 1911s?
Are they any more "robust" than XDs?
Are they any more "robust" than CZs?
etc. etc.
I would like to see somebody take a
Glock 17
CZ 75B
92FS
P226
Ruger whatever their 9mm is
Springfield XD
HK USP
and shoot them till a major component fails, keeping track of breakage and replacing small parts as needed. Let's say clean every 1000 rounds. Some of those guns should last past 100k.
I think SIGs are fine firearms and all, but I would avoid making assertions that have no basis in fact. I would wager that the SIG does not end up at the top of the heap when it is all said and done.
Problem is. 100k of 9x19 at 5.00/box comes out to $10,000.
Anybody got the reports from the M9 trials?
