This is a good question..... I have been trying to do the same.

So it has been over a month since I got my sig and I thought I would chime in again. I have fired probably 2000 rounds with the new sig and it is properly "broke in" now. No problems feeding and the gun is definitely reliable. And, It is more accurate than the walther ever dreamed of being. Sound suppression with my can is almost as good as the walther was. My biggest plus for the sig is the way it handles. It feels good to me and is fast to shoot. I have been learning double taps with this gun and am getting shots off in quick succession at about 2"-3" apart while standing 15yrds from the target. With the walther, I was lucky to get a 2" pattern at 15 yards taking my time to shoot. So, this is my opinion based on my personal experiences with both guns. I would not even consider going back to the walther. Aaron

I had one in 9mm. I had a lot of issues with it jamming. I probably didn't give it time to break in as I purchased it new and didn't put that many rounds down range before I traded it off. If you are going to buy one new, plan on dumping some ammo through it to break it in and it should function better. I had to put about 1000rnds through my sig mosquito before it was pretty reliable.... the millennium might have been the same... just more expensive to shoot so I never did it. I lucked into a good deal on a Kahr P-9 and carried it instead. just my $0.02 aaron

Last season I was presented with this same dilemma. This was on the last day of rifle season and the only chance I had to hunt for the year. I took the mother at about 150 yards and the young one took off.... stopped, looked back and took off again. She stopped again to look back at momma and I didn't have the heart to let it live its life with those horrible memories. With a clean shot, I took her to. I spent the rest of the day filling the freezer. Karl's story is very tough. I don't think I could have cleaned the mother and let the little one watch. It is normally a difficult decision, but easy if you are hungry. Aaron

Thanks for setting the record straight for me and any others that may have been wondering. Aaron

I am not trying to turn this into a gun show. But, how will gun trading be viewed at this event? Would it be out of line to carry a rifle with a price tag on it? Would it be alright to meet up with other TGO members to complete pending sales in the parking area? Thanks, Aaron

I am still forming my opinion but I like the sig as of now. For what it is worth, I just purchased a real nice sig package from a TGO member last week. I sold my Walther P22 to make the deal happen. I purchased a used Walther a couple years ago and was pretty happy with it but hadn't really shot it too much. The gun was pretty picky on ammo and had a tendency to jam. That all changed after my first NFA aquisition. With the addition of a can, the gun functioned flawlessly. And was more appealing to shoot. After now shooting it a good bit, it became less appealing as the accuracy became an apparent issue. I wondered if it was me or the gun and I puchased the factory laser. The laser proved to me that it was not my inability to command the firearm. I did some tests and found that it likes wildcat ammo for best group as well as penetration. This gun has the thinnest barrel I have every seen and I feel this has a good bit to do with it's accuracy. The gun is ok for plinking cans but it feels like a toy to me and that is where it stops. It is very light and without a doubt good for women and children to plink with. I handled the Sig 22 and even put a few rounds through one a while back. I was wanting one to try out and put through the test. I was in agony while being out of town for a week while a good deal was listed on TGO. I claimed it upon my return. The gun was new and I was expectiong a break in period. After making my purchase I put 350rnds through it bufore the sun went down. It definately had plenty of failures with the slide not engaging the last 1/4" being the most common. I tried several brands of ammo for reliability and I have no opinion on that yet. The accuracy was good and I think an improvement over the walther. The gun feels better and the extra weight in the sig results in faster fallow up shots with less recoil. It didn't come with a thread adaptor so I have not tried it suppressed. I am hoping for better functionality with the addition of the can like I experienced with the walther, but I will not bank on that. I expect it to just take rounds down range to break it in. I will post an update after I have some more experience with this sig. Assumeing that the raliability on the new sig improves and that the suppression level is on par, I can not imagine that I will ever regret my decision to switch from the walther to the sig. I would be considering the Ruger mk very heavily in this decision. Very reliable and easily the most accurate choice for plinking. Just my $0.02 Aaron
