SHOOTR Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Would this be a good weapon for IDPA and has anyone used one in competition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Murphy Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 One of the guys at my club swears by his- and he's got some of the classic sigs too. Local LE's up my way are starting to get them too. . Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Round_Gun_Shooter Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 I use a 2340 357SIG DAO and really like it. I look at it as a Hi Cap revovler:D Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhgtyre Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I seem to recall CDNN Investmenst cdnninvestments.com had a Sig Pro (in .40) that came with 5 of the standard capacity magazines. It might be worth a look. -ld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 A LEO friend of mine is testing one (9mm) out at the moment and I shot it a couple of times. Nice gun. Accurate and handles well though I pinched the skin of my pinky finger when inserting a new mag (it has a short grip and the grip extention on the mag). It does flip quite a bit (because of the high bore axis, I think). I'd never but one myself, but I wouldn't mind having one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Round_Gun_Shooter Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I'd never but one myself, but I wouldn't mind having one That's kind of how I felt. I won mine in a raffle at the NH IDPA Championship this year. Now that I have it, I really like it. The .37 it cost me to mail the certificate in was worth every penny.

Steve Moneypenny Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 It is an ok gun, it works and is accurate enough. But i feel it does not give one the same level of competitive advantage of many other handguns because of weight (or lack of) no mag well, and bad trigger pull... far worse than other sigs i have handled.

spd522 Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 I tested a couple DAO models for our Department back in 1999. DA trigger was long but not bad. The problem I saw with the 40 cal. (and every other plastic frame 40 cal except STI/SV) is the torque. Heavy slide, stout load, lightweight frame add up to torque twist. I shot a P226DAO in 40 cal right alongside the SigPro. No such torque problem. I shoot a P226 9mm in SSP and Production and love it but I really didn't care for the DAO P226 in 40 cal. I did prefer the SigPro to the P226 in the DAO configuration, in spite of the torque. It will work fine but there are generally better choices. But it boils down to how you like it. That is all that matters, not our opinions. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
