The New Sig Sauer P211
- Thread starter Defilade
- Start date
Pre realization that SIG is a POS company I would have considered purchasing one of these. Now however, well SIG is in the same category as Springfield Armory and Rock River arms: on the never ever buy list.

Does it have series 70’s internals so it can uphold the Sig tradition of firing when dropped?

Gorgeous gun. I love it.
Rather spend $1K and get the Girsan Witness 2311 Match X.

Sig has had a tough go of it over the past year. I believe their continued refusal to acknowledge a potential problem with the 320 has turned many people sour on the company. Their statement last month that "It ends now" was a marketing disaster. I read an article last evening that there are now over 100 agencies nationwide that have banned the 320 as an approved duty issue.

Or the Tisas/MAC DS9 or $1400 and get a prodigy. The Turkish 2011’s are absolutely good to go and offer tremendous value. The prodigy seems to have gotten thru its teething issues and is compelling as well.
It really does seem like the people running Sig are just professional assholes. Rather then redesign the P320 or replace it, they keep doubling down on it and keep launching slightly new versions of the same gun. The fact that if a department drops the P320 from duty use Sig sends them a threatening letter just goes to show how bad the people running sig are.

It looks pretty good to me. I’d love to have one.
I gotta tell you I wasn't a fan of the Sig Kool-Aid until I got to run through some Military issued P226's then I had to have one,,,got an older one than obviously had the hell shot out of it: Worked perfectly, Flawlessly for a weekend Training session involving 2K rounds of Gold Dots....Bought another because it was nicer looking; again, no problem....Gander was going out, and I bought (2) P226 Legions and (2) P220 Legions: Glad I got them for half off, because they weren't half the gun those two older ones are. The Guide Rod in one of the P220's was about a 1/4" short from the Factory, called, wrote, left messages...crickets. I filled out the Registration Cards and ones to become part of their special club of Legion owners, with promises of range bags, ammo, and swag....again, nothing.
Only satisfaction I ever got from Sig was an old, well used P220 that I sent back to have refinished, overhauled, and new Night Sights and they DID treat me right with that one.
Seems to be common place with Gun Companies: They start off building a desirable, high quality product, get big overnight, and the next thing you know they're turning out shit while riding the name and reputation and should someone complain, some schmuck in Customer Service apologizes profusely and offers to "make it right" which sometimes happens, sometimes takes multiple times, sometimes you just end up fucked. (S&W Custom Shop anyone?)
Much as I truly loved Remington and their products, once I started meeting people that worked there, not only hearing but sometimes seeing the abject shit, and people assembling guns that shouldn't be allowed to put together legos...well, it's no fucking wonder why they ended up the way they did.

I have a few sig 365’s and I have to say I really like them. I had some concerns about the firing pin on mine so I called the number to have them looked at. The guy in the other end of the phone was fantastic and said try this if you want to but you can send them back if you would like. I had read online that some oil can gum up the firing pin so I asked the guy about that and he said to go ahead and do it without coming out and saying that. That’s because they recommend only a gunsmith removing the firing pin. I was fully satisfied that this would correct it and it did.
I think their guns are on par with any other $550 gun on the market. Now their mags are costly but that’s to prevent them from increasing the cost of their guns I suspect. I’m more pleased with sig than Ruger. Ruger is the only company I’ve had issues with. My Ruger SR22 had a 40-50% failure to fire rate so it was rebuilt by them. My LCPII had major finish issues. I’m pleased with my sig finish and I carry it a lot.
No recoil at all!
