SIG P716, Yep, It's A PISTOL !!!!!!! was created by jtallen83
Look what followed me home from a gun show today :woohoo: ;
Yep, it's a pistol! I've been so happy with my PM400 I decided to step it up a notch or so. I've been pestering all the local dealers for a price on the new ArmaLite pistols but couldn't even get a possible date when they would have a firm price let alone actually get one so I decided to try a piston gun.
My first impression is that I'm impressed. The fit and finish is great for an AR rifle. The Phase 5 buffer tube is different than my PM400 and a welcome addition. The spacer puts the "brace" in exactly the right position for me. Coincidentally the LOP needed to fit my arm is the same for my shoulder, not that I would ever fire the weapon from my shoulder and risk creating an instant SBR :whistle:
The ambi safety and mag release are a big plus as well.
The biggest downside I see so far is the VERY crappy trigger, designed by a lawyer for sure with what feels like 10 pound pull. It has major creep and is extremely gritty all the way through. A Geiselle trigger will be the first upgrade for sure!
Looks like the suppressor bill will be left to die in the Iowa senate this year :censored: :banghead: :censored:
but if they ever do get it passed the 4 position gas block will allow for some real quiet shooting.
With a heavy schedule this weekend I won't get a chance to wring it out till the holiday so I'll report back then on what I find. :usa:

$1786.00 at Bud's and listed as in stock, but they have more than 10 pages of Sig products, so I expect they're drop-shipped from somewhere. One of the 10A4BNMFs I ordered from them was shipped from Gun South, and I got it the next day. 
It seems odd that the trigger sucks so bad. The trigger on my P series pistols is really good.
When I decided to get my first AR-10 none of the dealers around here would admit to being able to get one, so I searched GunBroker, and that's how I found Bud's. I've been able to get everything I wanted from them except the Aug NATO. They don't seem to know that it exists!
