Sig Sauer

I chose SIG for an EDC personal defense gun because of SIG’s reputation for reliability among special forces and LE professionals. I put 370 rounds through my P226 .40 S&W within the first 30 days of shooting it and have zero complaints. I can trust that it will work well when and if I need it to.
I bought a used magazine from an authorized SIG dealer. The mag wasn’t feeding perfectly. Since my P226 was less than a year old, with the support of the dealer, SIG replaced the magazine with a brand new one for free, even though it wasn’t the mag my gun came with. Excellent customer service in my experience so far.

Sig makes excellent guns, there’s a reason the navy seals, secret service and countless law enforcement departments rely on them. I love my p226 and it has never failed me. I also had a great experience with their customer service. I was transferred to the correct department in a quick friendly manner and had all my questions answered within minutes. Keep it up and carry on!

I went to the Sig Academy last Friday. Fully intending to buy a 226 in the near future. They had some very nice weapons on display, but the salesman seemed to not be interested in really helping me out. Or at all passionate about what he was selling. His main concern seemed to be somewhere else, I seemed like a bit of a annoyance. Well I did buy a Sig Sauer 226 this weekend but it was not at their Academy. Very nice gun, very poor salesmanship, and customer service.

I bought a Sig 1911 at a gun show (Paso Robles, CA) from a local dealer. I’ve always heard good things about Sig from friends, family, articles, online reviews, etc … Out of the box, I was disappointed that the plastic case it came in (I got the TacPac) was really cheap and that the hinges wouldn’t stay together … Not the most important thing though. However, when I disassembled it to familiarize myself with it, and when I went to put it back together, the slide wouldn’t go back on. Really annoying that a gun you spend $ 1,000.00 on won’t reassemble before you even send a round through it … But, when I contacted Sig, they addressed the issue right away, paid for shipping from me to them, fixed it rather quickly and sent it back out to me in rather quick time.
Having dealt with some really bad companies before, I am very glad that Sig does take care of their customers. I hope they do this with all of their customers. Reading the reviews on Unilocal! I was a bit disappointed to see the two star review on here. They really can do better than that, but there are companies that are far worse. In all honesty, I would buy another Sig and I hope my future Sigs don’t have issues like this. But I will let this slide as Sig does have a great reputation

Sig makes a quality firearm– but like any brand of firearm, under hard duty use things are bound to break. a $ 5000.00 Wilson Combat will break too– dont let anyone tell you otherwise.
what really makes a firearm manufacturer is the service they provide. i have been running a Sig 1911 for the past 2 years, with much enjoyment– it might just be the best series 80 1911 trigger out of the box that i have ever seen.
but, in september 2011, during training, i broke my front sight. now, today– it still has not been fixed. Sig’s excuse is that the replacement part that i need is well in stock, in excess of 300 pieces on the shelf– but they wont send one out, due to an upcoming run of 1911’s being produced. this is a lousy way to treat a customer that puts a Sig product on his hip every day, and has for the past decade– P220’s, P-226’s, a P-​239, and then finally no less than 3 Sig 1911’s.
4 phone calls since september, and its still not resolved. i went out and resolved it myself, and purchased a brand new Springfield Armory Operator. no, im not saying its any better of a weapon– i think they are about on par. the defining difference is that Springfield Armory takes care of its customers. no questions asked, with new parts in the mail on the same day. the Springfield is considerably more expensive. yes, the Sig was a less expensive weapon, but again– you get what you pay for… this includes the level of customer service that you get after you buy the gun.
Sig could learn something from this, but odds are they wont. if Sig isnt thrilled to read this honest opinion, well… tough cookies. Im not thrilled that my $ 1400.00 1911 with a «lifetime warranty» is sitting in my safe, unable to be put into service for duty, for the second month in a row now!

Sig Sauer Academy is amazing. The instructors here are top notch, the range is great, and the pro shop (although it is being renovated now) is stock full of sig goodies. If you’re lucky they have some used mags on hand that you can score for short money. The classes are well worth the cost, which is reasonable for the training you’ll be receiving. I recommend their low light training, among others.
As far as Sig products… well, 5 stars as well, but I’ll let the others discuss the strengths of the Sig’s firearm product line.
