With that done the SIG was back to full and reliable operation. The only other stoppages three in all were all traced to the ammo, which happens with all 22 semi-autos and is unavoidable. Given the diverse and sometimes filthy ammo I fed it I reckon a round reliability figure is pretty good! So what about accuracy? The trigger is pleasing with none of the heavy, military feel of some basic AR15s. The controls on the are practical, though I would say the port side safety lever is a bit short and you need to shift your firing hand grip to operate it with your thumb.
I found it quicker and easier to use the starboard paddle instead! The handle has a lot to get hold of and in the case of a short bolt not fully closed it allows you to shut it easily. The Black Dog mag offers an extended follower which automatically catches the bolt after the last round. The clips do however rattle a bit in the mag well, certainly when compared to an AR, but they feed well. The butt folds up on to the right of the action and in this condition the rifle can still fire, which is doubtless where the ambi controls come into play as the starboard side safety and mag catch are covered.
The locking system works well, however the butt needs to be at full extension so it can engage. Firing in this manner is a waste of time, but the ability to shorten the package for storage or carriage is useful. Overall this is an excellent rifle that shoots and works well and gives perhaps a slightly more practical and visual alternative to the current crop of AR15 rimfires. Neil is getting a good reputation for 22 semis of this type and retailing the SIGs so if you want to look at one give him a bell.
Ignore the mag prices in the article above if you reside in the UK. If you want a really good 25 round mag rather than the garbage that Black Dog make, contact Lantac UK or have a look at their website.
Have a look on the internet for BDM magazine feed issues and you'll see what I mean. Expect to pay around 25 pounds a mag from Lantac and get yourself a quality product made in UK. No connection to Lantac other than being a very happy customer. Your cash I got to finally shoot the tac version of this fine little gun last weekend, and apart from being a hoot to shoot, it was very accurate at 50m.
However, we found that this particular example was very ammunition brand sensitive - it lived every type of standard - even sub-sonics, but failed to function after one shot with any high velocity type, such as CCI Mini-mags or Fiocchi High Velocity.

I had a buddy with one when i lived in seattle pre We shot the piss out of it. He went through 3 versions. I asked him a few years back if it was still running when i heard sig ended production.

The SIG is an accurate and easy to use firearm that carries substantial appeal for experienced as well as new shooters.
I have no doubts that this rifle will outlast me. While I am somewhat disappointed in how the replacement of the flawed parts has played out, this is not an issue for new rifles today and I will not let it affect my decision to highly recommend this rifle.
