I bought one of the pistols for my wife and liked it so Much that I bought a 2nd one for me. I am not sure how you would improve the charging handle, it is a typical AR charging handle, swapping for an after market of your choice seems easy enough. As far as stocks go options are improving. Sig tells me that the PDW telescoping Stock is 8 to 12 weeks out. I have rather clunky fixed brace adaptor that a standard AR stock will fit on. I saw the folding Brace from Sig today it is quite elegant and it appears that it would accept an AR stock. This is a very accurate little set up and runs well with a suppressor. I suspect that I will buy at least one of 40/357 sig conversion package when it becomes available along with a 4 inch 9mm Barrel so I can have a compact suppressed set up when I want one.
I was initially going to go with the Scorpion Evo but after seeing them side by side I went the MPX. Nothing wrong with the Scorpion , but the MPX is just worth the extra Coin. |

From what I have read, the MPX version that is already out will not be compatible with the caliber swap kits down the line. The current (I'll call it Gen 1 MPX) is 9mm only. One would have to buy a Gen 2 complete upper if they want to change to a different caliber offered by Sig. The Gen 2 MPX will come with key mod forend and will allow for caliber change. OP, I have a 9mm SBR and still am intrigued by the MPX however I am waiting for the Gen 2 version as it will have the different forend, be offering in K model and potentially have a fix for the charging handle issue. |

I might just buy the current version as I'm not too worried about caliber swap ability at all and the charging handle paper clip fix seems to be a simple yet effective fix. I would imagine they will offer a keymod forend for the Gen 1 MPX as well too in the future? I've read and watched a lot of videos and can't find many negatives about MPX. I want one soon! Alan |

Alan If you can't wait for the gen 2 version which could be anybody's guess when it will come out, just get the gen 1. Sig has said that gen 1 customers should be able to purchase the gen 2 uppers at a discounted price. Yes the keymod rail will be available as an accessory hopefully soon. |

^This is what i did. Who knows when the gen 2 will come out. As for the charging handle, a little Velcro or duct tape on the receiver will mitigate any marks.

Had to call Sig CS today for some stuff and asked about the gen 2 and it is still unknown at this time. I was told however that a new charging handle should be out in about 3 weeks and take care of the current issue.

I'm gonna look around tomorrow morning when I get home from work and buy one. Trying to find the best price. Do they still offer the 3 mags w/pouch once you have MPX in hand w/serial number? |

Pull the charging handle back an let go a few times and I guarantee you will have it, unless you already have the upgraded charging handle which is very unlikely.

Don't forget that the 20% off coupon is also good on the stock. I paid $220ish for the telestock. Just need for it to come off back order. And for my F1 to be approved.

You have to call the number on the 20% off flyer that comes in box. Unfortunately not all products are listed on website.

Yes, you call them directly. The phone number is on the coupon. The stock is backordered (I was quoted 8 weeks). The 20% is applied to your entire order, so you can order as many accessories as you want. They will ship as they become available. The Form 1 will take longer than the stock to ship, so the backorder wasn't a big deal for me. |

Sweet. Thanks for the info guys. Last time I eformed a SBR it took 30 days (6 months ago) and now they're 120. The ATF is inept as ever..A couple of last questions. I've read about the charging handle issue, but read that Sig stated their working on a fix for it. Is this hearsay or fact? I really prefer not to have to use Velcro, tape or a paper clip to fix the issue on a $1,200-$1,300 gun.

Let's just hope it fixes the slop issue as well. |

If I buy a new one today, will SIG send out a corrected charging handle without charge? Are they making you guys that own them pay for replacing the defective CH? |

If you take the sharp edge off the bottom of the CH at at 45, it stops the CH from digging into the upper. At least it has so far for ours.

This "charging handle issue" is being blown out of proportion. It's a wear item. Big deal.
