"Pedigree". What is the pedigree of a pistol that was designed in Switzerland, finalized and produced by an old German gun company, but is then suddenly produced in a new US plant with completely new methods and nearly half the parts re-designed by Americans - many of which are made by subcontractors.
Pedigree is the problem. Just as Taurus continues to sell evenly grossly unsafe and haphazardly constructed pistols based on the a reputation earned from correctly using S&W and Beretta production lines, Sig USA and their products have little to do with the firearms that passed so many military trials in the '70s and '80s.
On a good day, they are excellent clones of a German product. On bad days they are Caspian 1911s that don't work, 320s that peen themselves in to unreliability and 938s that aren't reliable enough for self defense.
In terms of Sig's reach, how many national militaries actually adopted a post a machined slide Sig for national service? 2? 3? Is it actually more than the CZ-99?
The USP line alone has been adopted more times to national service.
