I have had two SIG pistols and a SIG rifle.
The first pistol a P226 is about 3 years old; no problems.
The second is a P229 about 1 year old in January, no problems.
The rifle is a few months old, no problems.

My brother in law has a 1.5 year old P2022, no problems.

I remember hearing some rumors about the 1911's having a problem with the safeties coming off about a year or two ago but i've never seen or met someone with those issue. Every gun manufacturer has issues; often when a change is made or when a new gun is put on the streets. Even the almighty INEVERHADAPROBLEMEVERNEVER glock had issues with some Gen 4 pistols; it happens. But as with Glock, SIG to my knowledge has moved to fix any issues they experienced quickly.

Go out there; buy yourself a P226 or 229 and have some fun!
