Anyone here into firearms?

Amazing things happen on a one-off basis in manufacturing that defy the apparent odds. Every company can make a good individual pistol every now and then on any given day, just as any of of them can make a bad one. The question is....what is the liklihood? When companies pay less attention to their quality control, when they start using MIM parts farmed out to the lowest bidder, when they start trying to save money by cutting corners in the manufacturing process...the liklihood drops. In this thread, we have at least two guys who got lucky. I'm pleased for you. I personally wouldn't buy a modern Sig because I perceive that the odds aren't good enough to risk it. I can see how your opinion would be different.
