Honestly, the way Sig has handled this sours me on any of their guns.  Clearly, their entire lineup isn't misfiring but their damage control has sucked.  

For sure. A case study in how to not do it.

So many better guns out there.

No kidding, but I am not getting rid of my P365X.

For sure. I really like my M400 for what it is, but they have made a terrible mess of this situation.

Just ordered one of these for my younger son as a novelty gift. 
Did the same for his older brother last year. 
They are pretty unique little jewels, IMO, but not for extensive plinking.

My problem with this is, besides the gun for ants, is the website.  And who owns/hawks it.

I found that used SP5 for a decent price and went ahead and got it. Going to wait until January and sbr it

If you get the atf blessing does that mean you don’t have to do the stupid parts swaps?

Man I’m about to go on a suppressor buying spree after Jan 1. I don’t anticipate shooting anything without a can on the end. 

I plan on having a few form 1's ready to go, because why not? 2 liter bottle? Why not? 

 

I also need to learn CAD, because an integrally suppressed pen gun that shoots .22lr would be pretty sweet to print out. Would it serve a purpose? No, but it would be pretty a pretty cool project. 

 

Also, FYI, there is a forced reset mod sailing on the strange waters for your 10/22...

If I don't admit I have a gun buying addiction, then it's not a problem.

Now I have a (semi auto version of) a machine gun.  Ho.  Ho.  Ho.

You  could also put a folding brace on it amd avoid the need to deal with it.  I did that on my 416 .22 pistol.

This was the best for my gun.   It's a lot sturdier than it looks and does the job well.

These guys are really good. They somehow made my Tec-9 slightly less shitty.

I had not realized they moved from Pond Springs until a couple of weeks ago. That's where I picked up that SP5

Really? Where are they now?

Fair! It was in the most Tec-9 condition possible when I got it, see below

Anybody here have opinions about Blackjack gunsmithing or somebody else you like and have had good experience with here in Austin? Somebody gave me a Tec-9 that had been in its case in the back of a closet since 1992 that looks to be in good working order but should disassembled, cleaned, inspected and test fired by someone other than me. 

Also came with a the optional barrel extender and two Intratec 32 round magazines, one of which was full of 30 year old bullets, and had one in the chamber when it was given to me.
And that's why we ALWAYS check first, kids.

When I “liberated” this Remington Model 51 from my MIL in the early 1970s, it was in Condition 1 - and had been since her father had last loaded it maybe 30 years before.

Funny thing/Nightmare fuel about that Tec-9, since I’m going to assume that most of you are old enough to remember the issues associated with that gun.

Spoiler

The nice old gent who gave it to me in that condition has mid-stage  Parkinson’s and planned to inspect/clean the gun before giving it to me, but then got too busy. 
Things could have gotten very … exciting.
