They fail to realise that the Browning is actually the better pistol, Sigs are plasticy, high maintenance and not suited to abuse.
RUBBISH!

Having owned both a Browning MkIII as well as a SiG Saur P226, and having shot at high levels of competition (both 'Service Pistol' as well as 'Practical Pistol'), the Sig was far more accurate, as well as far better made, and far more reliable.

A friend of mine who had only ever shot revolvers was popping in 1"-2" groups at 25m with my SiG first time out.




Now, if you had said Glocks are plasticy I might have agreed.....

Ex Ascoteer. It may be worth remembering that most of the folks here barely know one end of a pistol from the other, so may not appreciate just what a wonderful weapon the Sig is.

I find it odd that aircrew complained that they had a 'girls gun', yet still slate the weapon the SAS/SBS chose to replace the Browning with as no good!
