Sig must have pictures of every 3 star in the world sucking each others dicks with all the giant contacts they've been landing lately.

I dont see the cost/benefit of changing the whole rifle. The optic seems incredible, but I dont see how changing the rifle and caliber offers much payoff.

I have a Sig P365 that my wife uses as a carry weapon and that the best feeling gun I have ever put in my hand. Everything about it is perfect. The weight. The balance. The texture of the grip.

Should have just gone to 7.62x39 a proven round and we could use the bad guys ammo in a pinch there's tons of it all over the world.

They make quality weapons. Usually when another manufacturer beats them out, “cost” is usually one of the biggest factors.

The p938 is one of the best small carry pistols on the market.

Getting closer...

In another hundred years, and several more generations of ‘upgrades’, the PTB will admit that the best round ever developed - the perfect combination of trajectory and stopping power - is the good old 130 grain .270.

Bullpup seems to be an objectively better design. Why don't they go down this route?

Maybe they were referring to the TKO formula?

They're already there. We the People paid more than top dollar every step of the way. At least 10% will come back to the Big Guy.
