Nicoli Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 No, no, NO! Back..back...down...down...good...stay. Stay. Stay... LMAO Nah, my TM 551 beats ICS sigs Though if a nice ICS 550 came out I'd have one in a heartbeat Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge133 Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 It's the ###### child of a 551 that was raped by an M4!! How else are you supposed to make a weapon that means anything? Heck the M4 just goes around *fruitcage* every other weapon to make better weapons. Yeah it's a *suitcasey* thing to think about, but these things happen. Like Ligers, or Tigons. SIG 551 (556) - Better HK G36 (416) - Better AK-47 (SR-47) - Eh, works for its intention F2000 (SCAR, I know I'm pulling for this one, but compare the three. It looks like a F2000 gave birth to M4s ****** child.) - Better Khaybar/KH-2002 (QBZ-97/FAMAS) - Eh, never thought much of the FAMAS or QBZ to begin with so, better? Now that I've ###### off...roughly half this forum. Send MOAR pics of that 556! Convince me to buy a SIG finally! I can't stomach the 550 series and the P226, this is the only SIG rifle that has caught my eye. Link to post Share on other sites
HellsAngel Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Why don't you like the P22* series? Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge133 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I just don't. It's ugly, unnecessarily large, the grip is too big, the magazine release, the sights. It is much too large for the small 9mm round. Why the SEALs ever chose the P226 I'll never know, the M1911 was much better. Bigger round, just as durable and relaible, slightly heavier, less rounds. But with the .45ACP you don't need 15 rounds of ammo. Now, before this becomes a "Oh noes he hates the P226! Burn him then put his head on a spit!" type thing. Yes the P226 does have my respect, only a firearm that has truly been made well can handle what the SEALs do to them, just like the M1911. That said, I REALLY, REALLY dislike it. I prefer the 1911 and USP. I have the same dislike for the M9 as I do with the P226. It has the same problems to me. Link to post Share on other sites
Fuser Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) IIRC the SEALs had some pretty good reasons to pick the P226. The main one I remember is the corrosion resistant finish on its internal parts, which makes it very good for naval warfare. It's also a bit easier to strip than a 1911, and in tests it jammed less. Not to say that modern 1911's aren't reliable as hell, it's just that under extreme conditions, tests showed that they aren't as reliable as other pistols. It is a bit chunky, but when I fired a P228 and two Kimbers a few months back I still liked the P228 more; I guess personal preference has something to do with it. Speaking of which, I think some SEAL teams have opted to adopt the USP45, which, imo, is the most reliable and comfortable pistol of any. It's the first pistol I'd choose to own.

Sarge133 Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Just to note in my defense of "I hate the P226". Yes I have fired it, put nearly 1,500 rounds through one. Worked well enough. From there I went to a Kimber 1911 and shot 500 rounds. Then I fired another 500 with my USP.45. I found the USP to be the best pistol I've ever fired, followed closely by the 1911. I just can't get over how bulky the P226 is, everytime I look at I see numerous places I could mill it and make it much lighter and thinner. But this arguement is merely point of veiw. One person can love the P226, good for them, glad they found a pistol they like and works for them. For me it's the USP .45, I hope to get a HK45 soon to see how that stands up. Can we put this "OMG! He hates the P226" debate to rest now? I wan't to defend my position on the M4 rape fest. Much more fun, as pistols are a matter of personal preferance. Link to post Share on other sites

amateurstuntman Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 556 rules. Shorty version. Someone on the sig thread thought it was an M4 variant. Link to post Share on other sites
matt.wu Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 SIG 556 ain't half bad. Especially like that shortened version - I much prefer CQB engagements to woodland or other long range scenarios. Updated my M4's a bit: - Picked up a brand new VFC HK416 from CSI304 - TB in my Mk18 (new picture just because I was taking pictures of everything else) - Shortened my M4 w/ CA SIR to a 7.5" steel barrel and stuck a Madbull KX3 and Prom TB I <3 5.56 Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, it is indeed a Fortress stock. Love the 556 too, if I had the money, or the drive for that matter to build one, I would in a heartbeat, very nice looking replica.

Fuser Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Sturgis, I love all of your M4's, but that thing came from a dark and diseased womb into which I'd never venture. I have no problem with SiG 55*'s, but 556 is pushing it on the ###### scale Link to post Share on other sites

Chris North Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Recently bought one of those new Maruzen PPK/S with the "metal" finish. And a close up (don't mind the dog hair): The metallic finish looks nice, but I'm not sure it was worth the extra cash. Unfortunately it looks like there might be a crack in the slide, but I'm not sure. Link to post Share on other sites
