Thinking about getting a sig pro. What do you all think about them? Any info would be greatly appreciated. -TxAggie |

Howdy fellow Texan, I 've had my pro in the .357 sig for about a year and I really like it. Its a very accurate gun and very reliable. Its a blast to shoot. I get my ammo from "Georgia Arms" in the canned heat. Very good stuff, plinking ammo that is. For Home defence I use the Speer gold dots 125 gr. well hope this helps. |

This is a brief report that I did on a different forum... Purchased a 2340 357SIG from one of our esteemed members. Nitron, Trijicons, with 7 mags. Cleaned it up well, and waited for a non-snowy day. That day came yesterday. This is my informal first impression. sig pro 2340:  sig pro with DeltaZ folder and G2:  Ammo: Speer Lawman 125gr FMJ. Winchester Win-Clean, 125gr TMJ. S&B 125gr FMJ. Weather conditions: Partially cloudy, calm wind, 55 degrees, F. Outdoor range. (Here it is with i-shot bag):  At first I wanted to acclimate myself to this new pistol and ammo. Here's my target at 15 yards, offhand, 30 shots fired. Wincheseter 125gr TMJ:  The first thing I noticed was the huge ball of fire coming out of my muzzle! Surprisingly, the recoil was very manageable, more so than the P226 in 357SIG. Flip was well-controlled. Reminded me of the HKUSPf in 45acp, but with a tad bit more sharpness. The noise was incredible...so much so, that a couple of guys who were sighting in their blackpowder rifles got kinda miffed....even with earplugs, they were flinching after every round. Next I did a couple of 10-round strings, at 25 yards. Benched off of a sandbag using my arms as support. Nothing fancy. Here's my two best targets, the upper one at 2 inches, the bottom at 1.74", using the Speer Lawman 125gr FMJ (which was noticeably hotter):  Then I did the rest of my informal shooting at 10 yards, all off-hand, using the modified-Weaver stance. The larger target was a 30 round rapid-fire string, using the Lawman 125gr.  The smaller targets were shot at 10 yards, offhand, 10 round strings. Incredibly, there are 20 shots in each target. The left was the S&B, the middle was Lawman, and the one in the right upper corner was with Win-clean. IMPRESSIONS: I like this pistol! I like the 357SIG round! I cannot wait to try some 125gr Gold Dots, and work up some reloads. The gun is definitely fun. I was able to plink at a soda can at 80 yards, hitting with pleasing regularity. I also liked how CLEAN all my brass was after firing. No residue whatsoever with the Speer and WinClean, a bit of soot with the S&B. What I don't like: I'm a lefty. The triangular mag-release, which I left on the left side of the pistol, gave me a blister on my middle finger. The trigger-slap, so absent in the classic SIGs, was mildy noticeable in the sig pro. A longer sight radius would be most welcome. How 'bout a full-sized sig pro, anybody? Thanks for letting me share. I believe that everyone would really enjoy spending time with this 'sleeper.'

| I've had my SP2340 for over 3 yrs. I've found it to be very accurate and totally reliable. I bought a .357 barrel for it, also. The post from agony was very descriptive of my experience with the gun. As long as it fits your hand well, you won't be disappointed in the performance! |
