I asked the sig rep at Shot Show if it would ship in 6 months. He responded merely by laughing....

Did we go to the same Shot Show? I was at this years (2014) and was told by more than a couple of Sig Sauer reps that they were currently in production and would be for sale in Feb. Feb is no longer and still notta. You think all the reps would have the same exact info.

The most solid sounding dates I've heard were April-ish. Emphasis on the -ish.

I laughed back at him and told him he was the first honest rep I spoke to all day. He was one of the older guys, maybe someone important.
The younger guys tended to have more of scripted answer to everything. |

Sig will be selling them and should see the first one mid April. I know we have some ordered, as far as the pistol is concerned. The carbine/rifle is waiting on ATF approval for muzzle devise.

That said, they could wait till the carbine/rifle is ok'ed and do a big release.

It's my understanding that the original carbine with the suppressor baffles (that what they are) will in no way be approved. Sig has now made a carbine with a perm attached carbon fiber tube.

UNofficial word is that they will start shipping late June, early July. New products are alway an issue with ATF. Got to make 100% sure that the peasants can have them.

I think the design needs to be worked a bit.
Mag from 2013 Shot Show 
Mag from 2014 Shot Show 
Mag from 2014 IWA 
The mag could be the .40/.357 guns..... |

All the magazines that I saw at the 2014 Shot Show was like the one in the first picture. The newer magazine looks like it is a little thicker towards the top which would make scene as when the magazine was inserted in the MPX, it had a lot of wiggle play, so maybe this corrected that.

I spoke to one of the Lancer reps at Shot and basically complained about the cost of the MPX magazines. The rep rolled her eyes and went on a rant about how much R&D went into making the mags work. |

I'm not surprised they are upset over the muzzle device. I can't recall if the law specifically states "easily convertible" but if it does then it will not be approved for sale,

I guess the 556XI's are already starting to hit the shelves and it was just shown for the first time at the 2014 Shot Show, yet the MPX was first shown at the 2013 Shot Show and still nothing. Very frustrating.

A TON of work was put into getting the mags working as well as they do. I wonder how long it took Lancer to develop these mags vs. how long RRA took to develop the mags for the LAR-40. How much are the MPX mags supposed to retail for? |

As far as putting a stock on the pistol after your form 1 is approved is simple, the stock attaches to the rail in the rear just like the other ones. |

The piston will cut down on grit getting back to the shooter but I feel it would've been better had it been up front like an mp5. I honestly don't understand why everything has to be an m4. It does some things well, others not. The charging system is one it doesn't do well. |

This has got to my favorite weapon system of all time and I know it's just a pistol caliber. I am 48 years old and current LEO and Army Reserves so I have been around a lot of weapons in my day and this is just sweet. |

I want a pistol caliber carbine and need one like I need a hole in the head. The Tavor with 9mm conversion looks good too. |

The MPX looks like a M4 and MP5 had sex and the MPX was born. It's just a cool little rifle I guess. As far as the Tavor goes, I had one and even though it's a very nice rifle, the bulpup design just isn't for me.

A 5.56 AR is always the way to go. Better terminal ballistics and range. I have two complete AR's and I am dying to get an MPX. It will be a range toy. The nearest public range is pistol calibers only, so this will get some play time. I'm also digging the idea of mainly stocking one caliber. |

With the advancements in PDWs, 5.56 ammo and 300blackout, not alot. One big thing for me was suppression. 9mm sure is quite with 147gr subsonics and a good suppressor. That was the main reason Im SBRing my 9mm AR. However you can get similar supression and better ballistics out of 300BO subsonics. 9mm ammo is cheaper though. |

I had a Tavor and just didn't care for it or the bulpup design. With a 9mm kit, the Tavor really doesn't serve a purpose, to heavy and to large for a subgun.

Yes the handstop is removable and they have rails that will attatch to both the aluminum and carbon fiber handguard for mounting flashlights, foreward grip, etc. |
