My Sig is Here!

[Boats]

Normally I have to pick up my 15 y/o daughter after school, but yesterday my wife was in Chicago, and my girl was spending the night with a friend so I was free!

After work took the Sig on down to the range. This is a 30' backstop and it's dark. My old eyes have trouble at this range.

I brought along a box of PMC range ammo, two boxes of Winchester range ammo, and 100 rounds of hand loads, 50 Berry's 200gr plated HP, and 50 Sierra 230gr JHP.

Started with PMC, loaded a single round, and bang. Loaded two rounds and bang. Loaded five rounds in the mag and all was fine.

As I said, my eyes are a bit rough these days and it's dark in there, but the Sig appears to shoot a couple inches low.

Further firing of PMC results in one FTF.

The Winchester rounds all went bang.

All my hand loads went bang. This was my first time shooting Berry's bullets, and for target rounds, I can find no fault without a lot more shooting.

Observations:

• The Sig is a pleasure to hold and to fire. I did not shoot my Citadel CS Officer's Model yesterday, but I think the perceived recoil is a bit heavier in the Sig Commander sized pistol. I have no explanation. They are both steel throughout and the Sig weighs more.
  
• The Sig shoots a little low. In the picture below, the first couple of rounds are the low ones. Once I started compensating a bit, the results were pretty good.
  
• Interesting about the PMC ammo. My friend at the LGS says everybody loves them and he's heard no complaints, except mine. My Citadel also doesn't like them - even worse. I think my daughter and I had 5 FTF in two boxes of the stuff. It was good at the time since I was able to teach her how to deal with a FTF and a misfire. She's 15 and has been shooting my P7M8 for several years. That pistol never has a problem.
  
• The Sig came with highly polished feed ramps on the frame and barrel.
  
• It's really very tight. And it's a beautiful weapon.
  
• I have no experience with sights. If this thing keeps shooting low, what would you suggest, suck it up and deal with it or somehow get it fixed?

After I get a couple thousand rounds through it I'll report back. If it keeps shooting like this, I suspect I'll say it's priced like a production, but feels like a low end custom. I got it for $950, with a discount for being military, but Bud's sells them for about $850 shipped to you FFL. I like supporting local businesses and am willing to pay a bit more to do so.

I put the wrong date on the target below. Guess it's not just my eyes getting old.
