SIG MCX issues in Germany?

Or maybe Sig products aren't always that great...

I'm pretty well convinced that nobody's products are always that great. Propaganda being what it is, and reality being what is it, rarely —if ever— does reality justify the hype. Come to think of it, I can't come up with a single example.

I've not had good luck with Sig USA, but thats another subject, that or the Sig USA way of doing things has become SOP in Europe.

The MCX is purely a SIG USA product. SIG GmbH (DE) doesn't really produce much anymore, AFAIK, really just some handguns (along with their custom shop), while SIG AG (CH) only produces the SG series when it comes to rifles.

Well, that explains it to me and reconfirms my inital observation.

^^^ This. People want an easy solution, a one stop shop, and too often that just isn't the case.

Everyone makes something that was crap.

HK had the G36.

SIG has lots of questionable stuff.

Glock had the unsupported .40 chambers.

Colt had the 2000 handgun.

^This.

I'll quit hating Sig when their rear sights quit falling off the pistols I'm issued. Even with the rear sights screw loctited. Not saying all their products suck, but I'm not a fan of their business practices.
