wow that's a great deal! Thanks for the heads up! I'm planning on replacing the stock and forend grip with the Blackhawk stuff anyway so the wood grain wouldn't matter and I was thinking about different chokes for skeet and hunting but that 28" barrel would be nice to have for that. The one I was looking at getting here was $330 for just the 18.5". Good looking out brother!
Freaking awesome brother. Check out Doublestar they are a local company here in ky about 45 min from me they usually have some great gear reasonable for ur AR. When I finally take the plunge that's where Ill get some of my parts there lowers are awesome plus I love their logo...lol
Doublestar has some cool stuff. I might look into them on the next build. I am doing a Spike's on the rest of this build. I might go Troy Industries on the free float rail since I can get it in FDE to match my furniture.
You really need to have that SIG looked at, the 228 is a proven platform. I have thousands of rounds through all my SIGs and the only time I've had a malf is after 6 or 700 rounds in one session without cleaning or lubrication. (you didn't mention what type of problems you were having).
The only problem I have with this Sig is its failure to eject when clearing. It will eject when firing, but not when clearing the gun. Plus it shoots low/left. It does hold a mean group, I just have to aim a few inches up and to the right. And none of this would be a problem to get fixed, but I do not have the tools to do it, and am pretty much stuck out in the middle of nowhere. So I just have to deal with it.
I bought my brother a XDm .45 for his birthday this year. He LOVES it, I have a Kimber pro carry and I like the XD just has much. It's a very versatile gun. Also better for home defense. Easier to grab and fire when you've just been startled wake and it's dark and your sleepy. Less mess to clean up too.
Marine, I would recommend posting a question in the SIG Armorer subforum at www.sigforum.com. Might be a simple fix not requiring anything special. There are some extremely knowledgeable folks that hang out there.
