Gun shop calls me - says we got in some Sig 556s (the rifle) - they knew I wanted one. So I go in with the intention of putting a 556 on layaway. But I couldn't plop down my money on it because my thumb couldn't reach the safety lever when in shooting position - it's farther forward than an AR (well it just reached the edge anyway - wasn't very easy to take off safe - I use a "wrap"/grip that puts my hand far to the right up toward the trigger). Plus I found the looseness/rattling of the collapsible stock a bit putoff-ish. And no iron sights. So couldn't justify the $1,299 plus tax.
Not to fear - I still did not leave until a Sig was on layaway. But it was a Sig GSR Revolution Compact (short grip, mid-length bbl, steel frame, iron sights, weird Sig slide, thin grips). It just felt great and had the usual great 1911 trigger. Since I sold my Kimber CDP compact a few years ago, I've been kicking myself. So it's in jail waiting for me to earn some money and get it out. :) I think the thin grips and all-steel construction pushed me over the edge. Oh, of course, in .45 ayyy ceee peee. :)
Questions:
-The MSH - can I buy one that comes already 'bobbed' - just the MSH itself at the bottom, not the frame, curving in sharply instead of squared off?
-Who could do a finish for me over the stainless steel which is black in color, relatively cheaply?
I know, I've read some bad on these, but I pays my money and I takes my chances - hopefully it won't be one of the lemons. :eek:
