Not a Sig guy, but that looks awesome.

Great up-sell technique on the grips too!

So what makes this better than the other mini 9mm guns like the Walther PPS and the Kahrs? Apart from "ZOMG SIG"?

You can likely buy some sweet Nill grips for it in the near future?



I am also curious how "integrated" the optional laser is.

Hi,

Wow, that is a very interesting little pistol.

Very much the same size as the Kahr PM9 (0.2" longer), but for some reason quite a bit heavier (20.5 oz with mag vs 15.9 oz with mag). Could they mean 20.5 oz with a loaded mag?

Interesting for sure.

p.s. Its skinny little trigger leaves me cold!

The grip panels don't look like they could be replaced with a Crimson Trace type thing. It would have to extend up and above where the cutout for the trigger finger is.

Maybe it replaces the recoil spring guide? I've heard of setups like that before.

E: Like this. Also holy balls those are expensive.

You suck!

What do you just stay on the lookout for cool stuff like this? I've seen more cool sub-compact threads from you than anyone else on this board.

You may have just cost me some money man. That thing is seriously looking cool.

I wasn't a fan of the LCP, the LCR, or the Kahr 380 (and I resisted the Sig P238 due to not wanting to get into .380), but this thing is going to end up in a holster owned by me very soon.

Well it is about time!

I like the small compacts...

Probably nothing. But this size gun is popular and so everyone is going to make one
