So much for "perfection." :roll:
You will doubtless also have noted that this procurement involved a four-month T&E ramrodded by Immigration and Customs Enforcement's National Firearms and Tactical Training Unit, and that they selected, along with the DAO, the DAK trigger. I doubt that Fernando's good chum, Todd Louis Green, was able to flim-flam ICE with smoke, mirror and vaporware… that the P239 hasn't as yet been offered in that configuration is but a mere trifling; I'm sure it will be before the year is out!Harvey said:I noticed that the Sigs were all either K-triggers or DAO. Is this a meaningful wind change, or just good PR by Sigarms?
I can understand having different size pistols for different assignments. I can even accept 9mm in the smallest model for the recoil conscious. But why .40 AND 357 SIG???DeanSpeir said:The Department Of Homeland Security is going to be toting SIG P226s, 229s and 239s in 9 X 19mm, and .40 S&W and H&Ks in 9 X 19mm, .40 S&W and ".357"

I did notice that, and I'm sure it is meaningful. OTOH, a friend of mine at the Columbus OH PD told me of their testing the .40 S&W P-226-DAK earlier this year. My friend currently works in Intelligence, and was formerly in both K-9 and SWAT. He also is an FTO, and is a 20+ year CPD veteran.You will doubtless also have noted that this procurement involved a four-month T&E ramrodded by Immigration and Customs Enforcement's National Firearms and Tactical Training Unit, and that they selected, along with the DAO, the DAK trigger.
Ahh, the two-headed monster of Premature Slide Lock & Indifferent Customer Service. Some fans of the Springfield XD-40 are enduring similar trials, even as we speak; the whole sordid story is here if you'd care to read it:We contacted SIG twice to be told it was operator error. Finally, they were able to make their guns at the factory do it when they shot enough rounds. The guns were returned and new springs installed. The same thing happened again, and SIG said the problem had been corrected - it MUST be operator error.
