Playing devil's advocate, but didn't sig say that the first run of the mpx would only work in 9?  Maybe I'm just picking up something I read on ttag.

I don't recall that myself, but I'm not saying you're wrong.  The events I remember was that sometime after release of the mpx, ttag broke the news on that gen 1 wasn't getting the caliber change feature.

I knew I wasn't that far off.  I contemplated today drafting a complaint to file with our small claims division of the district court to see if casting a rock at Sig would get them to respond.  Let's see what my state law has to say on this topic....

If Sig said that, then they should not have engraved the following on the lower receiver:  "SIG MPX MULTI-CAL".

Quoted:


That is evidence - like putting "V8" on the side of a vehicle that is a V6.  Early adopter or not, Sig has advertised this product and still does as having certain capabilities which it ultimately will not possess.  I am glad that you knew they were not going to have .40/357 sig available.  I took them at their word.

Quoted:
There is still a video on their YouTube channel from back in 2014 where they specifically talk about caliber conversions.  So as soon as it was "known" that it would be 9mm only they should have erased everything that said otherwise.  To expect folks to learn from forum posts or TTAG isn't realistic especially when your own marketing which is still online says differently.  Even if you go to YouTube and watch folks who went to the 2015 Shotshow that visited the Sig booth, the Sig representatives talked about caliber changes, and the words "Gen II" never came out of their mouths.  It's also telling that their is NO mention anywhere on the Sig website about a Gen II.  

Quoted:

I ordered mine in October and last week customer service told me to look for it January. I received an email this morning that it just shipped.  Go figure.

Quoted:


That's my biggest gripe.... If it's true.  I could not give two shits about any other caliber.  9mm is where it's at.

But I have heard that the newer mags will work in a Gen 1 upper.  If so.... I am still cool!!  The gun is fun a hell to shoot!

If gen 2 mags work I'm fine completely happy. I have no desire to change calibers.

Quoted:



This is me too

Quoted:


Do you care about changing barrel lengths?  Because you cannot do that either.

Quoted:



I honestly dont. I just want to make sure I can get new mags and keep the thing running

Quoted:


Sig rep told me gen 1 mags will still be made and be available

Quoted:
exactly this...The fact that this was a gen 1 gun was known ONLY by those that follow the forums closely.  I am not one of those..

Quoted:


Am I the only one that see's the "original" mag being the same as the "new" Gen2 mag????   Like maybe they finally "fixed" the gun and went back to the "original" mag??   Maybe they shoulda just fixed the gun first and then sent it out to us ready for prime time and able to do all they promised.....

The Recoil article stated that "One of the tweaks SIG made to ensure reliability with all ammo types was to cut back the feed lips on the original magazine design, which was meant to ensure positive feeding all the way into the chamber.  Weak sauce 9mm hung up halfway on the feed ramps."

So per the article, the original magazines are what is now being called Gen 2 and they were modified by cutting back the feed lips to make the Gen 1.  Last I heard from SIG (Thursday 11/19) was that Gen 2 magazines will work in Gen 1 uppers / firearms to "ensure availability of magazines for the future".  Who knows what the real story is at this point.
