Sig Sauer Lover needs opinion...

My_Fako — Sat, 01 Oct 2016 18:43:27 GMT

I'm up in the air, on either getting MPX Carbine or MCX....

Anyother Sig lovers wanna cast their opinion.

Im 50/50 at the moment.

Last Sig purchase was a couple of months ago. "P226 Elite Stainless"

Not going to offer an opinon on the carbine, but I will say I have a classic 226 that I've run at least 50,000 rounds through (used to punch paper a lot) and frankly it's just nicely broken in - I'm a Sig and H&K fan, could care less about Glock (get out the popcorn).

Never owned a sig...but have nearly every other brand worth having. Ruger, Glock, Taurus, kel-tec, Makarov, Bond Arms just to name a few.

Never owned a sig.....bought a new S&W BG a few months ago I have yet to shoot. I'm also considering a S&W MP 9 in the near future.

Justagirl I hope your bg isn't the .380 it has one of the worst trigger pulls period. I bought my fiance one a few years ago and it was terrible. I bought it on a whim and did no research prior. I just made it up to her by buying her a glock 26.

Op either is a good choice, I would suggest renting both and put fifty to a hundred rounds or so through both and see which you like best. I myself am trying to justify spending the $1,800 on a daniel defense right now. I know it is a solid firearm but I just can't seem to pull the trigger pun somewhat intended.

It is DV.....I read about the trigger after I purchased. That's why I need to get to the range so I know what to expect.

It's terrible, just terrible. I'm glad you're forewarned.

Firearms are very expensive, so is ammo. Both may be a very good investment for the long haul.

This is true. I bought a hornady progressive reloading press 4 years ago that is still in the box, I will eventually learn how to reload.

Sarge what are your thoughts on daniel defense for the ar ($1,850.00 + tax)? My fiance says go ahead we have the money. I never buy anything for myself. But I just put out 5k for secured card deposits, 3k for housing rent and deposits, 1k for moving expenses, 3k for a good deal on a vehicle. I have it to spend but I feel guilty spending money on myself like that. At least with the secured deposits I'll get them back.

I'd really like to know your thoughts.

I have never seen one, but I have never been able to talk myself into purchasing a weapon in that price range. I had an AR-15..can not remember the brand. Then they went up so high, that I sold it for twice what I paid. It was nice though, and had a slidefire solutions stock that made it almost like fully automatic with practice. Once I became disabled the black rifles lost their charm with me. I shot my .308 rifle once after my 4 level cervicle fusion surgery to prevent further spinal cord damage. When I felt how much recoil was on the shoulder, and thought how close to my neck it was,,,the wisdom of shooting it was questionable at best.

I hear what you're saying, it's a damned good rifle but I can't justify it even though I have the green light. I'll opt out. Thanks for the talk. Sorry about your fusion, but they can do wonders for quality of life. I have seen plenty in my day back when I worked in the medical field.

Well rifle recoil against my shoulder sort of makes me nervous. I had severe stenosis that the main symptom was a limp with no pain. Once the surgeon saw an MRI they said I would have the surgery, or within a year I would be dead or parylized from neck down. I still have limp, and clonus, and loss of strength on right side. I never dreamed that my working life would end at 55 years old. Strange that I am more financially secure than ever though. I still miss work!!!!

Understandable, but there is other work that can be done. That is great about being financially secure. I am so not there yet, but I am trying.

How are you doing now physically? Is the VA taking care of you pretty well?

Oh okay I apologize, I should have asked instead of assuming. I'm applying for ssdi now. How much of a pita is that process?

In my case, I was approved on first stage of consideration...but most are not. My employer paid allsup to represent me in filing. They also required me to apply for SSDI in order to recieve LTD payments. My understanding is approval in the first phase is rare, but note that I have spinal cord damage...and that can not be healed.

Damn just damn cord injuries are just nasty business. I am 70% disabled with the va right now working on 100%. Applying for ssdi after I get done with the move. The one benefit is that the va and ssa use each others information. Thanks for sharing sir.

Re: Sig Sauer Lover needs opinion...

sarge12 — Mon, 03 Oct 2016 08:50:27 GMT

Thank you for your service...I hope the VA gets their act together. The poor job it appears they have been doing is shameful.

Thanks sarge, the va does screw us over with some things. It took me years to get my benefits, but now that I have them I have no issues getting the care that I need.
