I second that! That’s a great pic!

LsuJon:

Have you seen any glass where on the Freon lens of your Romeo M17’s ?

I’m at about 7500 rounds on my M17 and I’m getting a little bit of fuzzy glass going.
Not complaining in the least bit, I know this happens, heck the Romeo 2 come with a little deflector thingy, just wondering if you’re seen this at all?

I love my M-17, however I am a bit concerned about the recent events.  I've had good luck with the M-17 and haven't heard of anyone I know have one go off.  Just like you we are very rough on our gear.  At least I have an option to use another platform.

It is unfortunate what has happened.

We have access to G19s as well but I’ll continue using my Sig.

It’s about a 50/50 mix of what guys are choosing to use in our unit.

Love my P226 228 220.  So glad I chose the glock platform.  To be honest, it was only because I was issued a Glock after the department S&W 3rd Gen fiasco.  I was so entrenched in Glock that by the time the 320 came out I could see it before I knew it.  Something just told me stay away.  It’s not the same as the P series platform.

I've never had a problem with the M-17.  I never heard  or seen an AD with the M-17.  With the 1811 grip module it feels/shoots like a 1911A1 for me.  I have been using it for a few years.  I might have 9 thousand rounds through my issued M-17.  However, when the M-17 came out I thought the trigger was too light for general issue to troops.  The trigger feels too light, like a national match 1911A1.

I put in IMSI sear spring (standard weight), heavy weight firing pin spring and extra power reset spring in mine ... very good trigger now ... not too light, not too heavy ... still not as good as a ZEV Glock trigger but its dang close. I think I will throw in a GrayGuns setup soon.

Old slide with new slide. Still need to take it to the range. The only two issued items will be the FCU and X300 if I end up keeping the comp’d slide. 😅

Oh yeah.  I love mine.  Enough that whenever I get the coin, I'll swap my P320-M18's slide for one with a Romeo M17.  I've had a Holosun 507 on my M17 for years, and going from it to the Romeo M17 was as big of a jump as from going from irons to the Holosun.

I hope that more .mil folks are able to get their hands on them, and it's not just limited to sneaky squirrel types.

No circus, only clowns.

While it is still a small sample size I haven't heard of or read of any issue pertaining to the M17 unintentionally discharging within Group. From what I've heard, it's the same for the folks at Range 37.

The only thing I haven't decided on yet is the trigger - will keep it stock for now, but not sure if I'll go the straight or skeletonized version - I'm sure they're both great.

I think the stock trigger sucks.  Get a trigger job or do it yourself and you'll be shocked a SIG can break like a 1911.

Is it a pain in the ass to remove and install one of SIGs flat triggers?
