I’m not sold on the Indian pot metal thing, but I can believe cost cutting, bad design and poor tolerances could come into play. Most disappointing because the half dozen Sigs I’ve owned (P220 DA/SA series, a P365, and 1911 clones) have been highly reliable and well made guns. As a matter of fact, a P220 I had in .38 Super was the only Super I’ve owned that would feed all types of ammo.
Any company can screw up, it’s how they deal with it that makes a huge difference. Doubling down on arrogance is never a winning strategy, especially with the gun community which has exceptionally long memories.
It seems like the marketing executives, nowadays, are more concerned with kitsch than quality.
Too bad, they used to make fine pistols!
