I couldn't find a price for the M17 but I'm sure it'll be pricey.

I’ve got the P320RX, full size.

It’s wonderful....but did need trigger work to lighten it up from 7+ to about 5.5 lbs.

Pretty well peppered a 5” target at 15 yds. yesterday.

I would love to own a Sig-Sauer. But any gun you have to pay for with a second mortgage ain’t for me. Now a arex rex-1? Definitely a possibility.

P226 Legion here, trigger seems fine out of the box.

My guess is that a “limited edition” one of the first 5,000 will carry a price tag in $750 nose-bleed territory.

No special coatings? That’s not the same!

Oh ya!

My P220 Carry SAO trigger is about 4.4.

I just had to try the RX and love it.
Especially since I found a great IWB for it.

From of all the photos, it appears to be a slimy bakalite.

Something about it. It looks gross.

Lose that nickel plated sissy pistol and get yourself a Glock.

>>it won’t have special coatings that keep the internal parts lubricated.

There is a business opportunity for someone to replicate that on the aftermarket, I would think.

"How much is your life worth?"


My bottom line figure is the price of a Colt 1911.

Sig-Sauers are the only gun that will save your life? I carry a used S&W 6946. Torn down and inspected by me, kept in good repair with good ammo. Quality doesn’t have to be super expensive. Fer Gawds sake, it’s not like I’m carryin’ a hi-point.

Bruce’s shop did work on my early production P320. Very pleased with the 4.0 lb trigger and sights. They set it up as a production division gun. Unfortunately, although I like it, I still prefer my stainless frame 226 with Grayguns competition spring kit and trigger with overtravel stop.

Are you a sigforum member? Only ask because that’s where Bruce gets the majority of his business, and it is without a doubt the finest firearms forum on the web.

Took a couple classes from Bruce and Jerry Jones several years ago; best money I ever spent on firearms.

Since the German govt caught Sig funneling SP2022’s through the US to a South American country (can’t remember which), the krauts clamped down, so pretty much all Sig production is in the US now. I have read there is now only a fraction of the workforce at the old Eckenforde plant in Germany.
