Sig Trash

[Dinkus the Stinkus]

Whenever I shop around for something, anything, I don't even bother with the good reviews. Those are usually full of people that haven't even used the item and give good reviews based on looks. Then there are the ones that use it once and have nothing to compare it to. The first thing I do is look to see what the good to bad review ratio is. If there are more bad than good that is a red flag. And usually the problem(s) with the item will repeat. Then I know what to look out for. I decide if it's an issue I can live with/work with. But you gotta be careful with bad reviews too. There are some people that have absolutely no ingenuity in fixing minor problems, some that have unreal expectations and some outright stupid people. I remember seeing a bad review once from a moron of a woman that claimed a small paper shredder filled up too fast. The solution there is very simple. Get a bigger shredder. I guess she felt the shredder should be able to defy the laws of physics.

Reviews are full of a lot of useful data and information but it's up to you to read through it and know what it means for your usage of said item.

Depending on the cost of the item in question is what causes me to delve deeper into reviews. If it's a 2$ whatever, that I plan to throw out in a month vs a firearm I am going to use to defend myself with. I'm going to make damn sure I know what could go wrong with said model before I shell out for something.

Not defending Sig (because of the 320 debacle and their user error attitude) but even though there is a 2.0 already for this gun it's still tough to go by reviews because it's still fairly new. But at this point with the number of reports and again what happened with the 320 it's fair to assume that this gun isn't worth buying. At least not yet. It's gonna take a long time to overcome the mistrust associated with this gun because of the type of issues. A broken firing pin IMO is way more serious than discharging when dropped.

I agree, these kinds of issues are inexcusable. However we don't know if it's a quality issue from bad employees or poorly trained employees or a bad engineering design.

Working in aerospace manufacturing I am amazed that more aircraft don't just randomly fall from the sky. The people I see around here who clearly just don't care and just slap things together willy-nilly is amazing.

Based on what I see and know about this industry it could easily be an engineering problem but also could be manufacturing issues that ruined a solid design.

To think I almost applied to work at the sig factory in NH.

Looks like they fix one issue another pops up. This gun was NOT ready for showtime.
