Pretty sure it was said early on that caniks liked the 124 grain NATO loads. Putting powder puff loads in it seems to be a bad idea. |

Selling a competition oriented model that doesn’t perform well with competition ammo would be a worse idea IMO

My concern is that somebody would try and reweld the receiver and it would come back on our license as a lost or stolen weapon that we didn't report. I take pictures of the destroyed receiver and then send a notification letter to the NFA Branch to update the Registry that the weapons are now destroyed. Pictures or proof of destruction is not required by ATF but we keep records in the event somebody were to clone a serial number of ours that has been destroyed so we can provide proof that we did our part.

| I enjoy reading several different pistol and revolver sections on a few different gun forums and there definitely seems to be widespread issues with gun manufacturers utilizing MIM parts in their firearms. You may read the exact opposite depending on your internet travels. Myself, I don’t fully trust any gun with MIM parts. |

The CEO brought us into his office to show their latest offerings and why it's so much better than the old "West German" made Sig's that I always thought were better. After seeing what the old plant looked like in West Germany as compared to how things are made in their new facility.. there is NO way that the older German stuff could be better. We saw production from beginning to end during a regular work day and the amount of quality control put into each product with so many people verifying and testing is amazing. We also had a chance to visit the Sig Sauer Academy and though I can't go into specifics, they had ELITE agencies training there. We couldn't take pictures of what they were in, how they arrived (amazing) or what weapons they were using but needless to say I was just blown away by what I saw. We will definitely start running some 320's and MCX's along side our MPX full-autos (which run like champs) and provide some insight into them. V/R Ron Well this post aged.....interestingly. |

Well in his defense the manufacturing can be modern and well done it just means the design flaws are more consistently produced

Kidding aside, he just called them like he was seeing them and its an interesting thread that I'm working through for the first time actually. I'm just getting to the part where guys are asking about the p320s and the drop issue. Interestingly the bigger issue for most at that point was the Glock Gen 4s seemingly cracking slides earlier than Gen 3s. I guess that fear never really got legs. I just feel bad for the p320 people. Can't shoot them in a lot of places and how many people want to buy them? |

Christensen Arms 1911 full size .45 acp, over 100,000 rounds. 12 years old. Titanium frame , stainless steel slide, G5 model guaranteed 1 1/2" 5 shot group. Don't make them any longer. Group size expands slowly, over time and round count. 5-6" groups. Thought I could not shoot any more. Until I bought a new Wilson Combat 1911. Happy days are here again! I can still shoot! So happy I bought 2. |
