Army selects Sig P320 as offical replacement

[Robenstein]

The low center of gravity and high grip on the cz75 make it feel lighter in the hand. I did have an alloy CZ40B and when it worked, it was awesome. But it always was plagued with premature slide lock issues and failures to feed.

I actually prefer the 92 to the 226. Never did like the high bore axis on the sig and I am one of those people who sometimes ride the slide lock, which means it fails to lock back on the last shot. Good pistols though, esepcially the old W.German and German ones. I have not been awfully impressed with the 226 and 220 models made in the USA. I see more people having reliability problems with them versus the old Jerry guns.

I still want so bad an even more dated sig, the 210.

Supposedly the Sig p210 is back and was at shot show this year. I know nothing is as good as the original but you may want to look into that.

I agree on the 226's issues. I don't like the tall slide and high bore axis. My grip always covers the 226's slide lock so it never locks back. I also don't like the location of the decocker and the overly powerful recoil springs the new sigs seem to have. Other than that, the trigger, sights, grip, takedown, looks, and overall quality seems good. My department had sig 226 dak's in 40 cal and I think we had one broken trigger return spring and 1 dull extractor in 6 years of use with over 75 issued sigs. I would say that was pretty good reliability.

What I am not sure on is if those issues are worse than the 92's issues. The 92 just has a horrible grip, wide, fat too short, shaped wrong, trigger guard not undercut enough, not enough traction, ETC. Then there is the slide mounted safety which I don't mind as decocker only but those are kind of rare and expensive.

I ultimately ended up buying a 92A1 and with trijicon night sights and wilson combat low profile grips, I must admit I enjoy it. Even though I carried the sig 226 for 5 years, I was never compelled to buy one. I still prefer the CZ-75 series to either of them.

I wish Sig would have solved their two key issues with the P320 though. The bore axis and slide profile still look high and the slide lock is still too far back.
