IL2H, looks good,BUT. when a company that is known for very high quality (and price) comes out with a gun about 1/2 the price of their norm, all kinds of red flags go up for me (and I might very well be totaly wrong about the new sig) and the old saying if it sounds to good to be true it probably is comes to mind. if/when a company tries to compete with the less expensive brands they can come out with something cheaper, but you just know they are going to cut every corner possible just to make it cheaper, from inferior/cheaper materials to less hands on fit and finish and and overall lesser quality product.the S&W sigma pistol when it first came out after S&W changed hands is a perfect example and one I can say I owned, for all of about 3 days, what a piece of crap, couldn't fully load mag, mag would fall out on the ground after a few shots etc. bought it used as part of a larger sale of several guns from a retired LEO (and he couldn't wait to get rid of it) for 75$ and sold it 3 days later for $300 to a guy with a table at a gun show, who was asking 375$ for it the next day, only reason it sold is cuz it had S&W stamped on it. and he probably got that price for it.and for any sigma owners the newer ones are much better now.
