The German Sig's are absolutely top-notch. My 1996 P229 has been a fantastic pistol...reliable, accurate, great trigger. Once manufacturing switched to their Exeter, NH plant, quality of Sig firearms seems to have taken a noticeable nosedive since about 2007. My experience with police departments that have tried to switch to Sig indicates that they have a lot of frustrated armorers from recurrent failures and excessively high maintenance requirements to keep the guns running. I would be very reluctant to recommend current-manufacture Sigs these days.
