Sig's quality control is such that I would be personally very wary. Sig used to be right at the top of the game and considered world class. That was prior to Ron Cohen taking helm as CEO. He then began to do to Sig what he did to Kimber when he was there. Essentially the quality control went right out the window. Kimber, when they first started caught the rest of the big manufacturers with their pants down and forced them to completely change the way they sent products out.
Kimber was shipping a product out that was ready to go into a holster, ready to go to work. Colt, S. Armory, etc, had to catch up, as they were still sending products out that you had to buy, then send to a gunsmith for a bunch of work to equal what the upstart Kimber was making right out of the chute.
Then enter Ron Cohen. He ran Kimber into the ground. He completely destroyed their reputation, cutting quality control, final inspections, etc, replacing them with never ending variations and tons of advertisements. Problem was he cut corners everywhere and the guns began to fail left and right, all for the sake of the bottom line. Now a lot of people who are knowledgeable in the 1911 world don't trust the Kimber brand other than to use the frame slide and barrel as a basis for a custom build.
After he ran Kimber into the ground, he went to Sig USA and began to do the same thing. Before long, a company that was once known for stellar/typical German firearm manufacturing and performance began to suffer due to the fact that Cohen cut out quality control and final inspections (dejavu). But Hey you could get a Sig in rainbow colors now. Too bad it would not run..
The punchline is, be very careful when considering a purchase of a new Sig.
NOW you tell me and I just bought a 365XL last month (but so far so good)
