Yeah, I have no idea what made SIG-Sauer decide to produce the 556 pistol. Making pistol knock-offs of assault rifles is the kind of thing you expect to see from sleazy, cheap clone manufacturers, but not a company of SIG-Sauer's reputation. As a SIG guy, I find it almost embarrassing, especially when I see posters on the SIG forum who bought the damn thing and claim it's so awesome. I'm not such a big fan of the 556 series in general, but the pistol was a particularly dumb idea by SIG's standards.
Speaking of which, I'm beginning to wonder what SIG-Sauer's R&D guys have been smoking lately, because in the past two years, SIG has put out a lot of ridiculous products. Like those f'ugly-ass "Platinum Elite" versions of the P220, P226, and P229. What the hell? Is SIG marketing itself to the "ghettofabulous" crowd now?
It's annoying to me that a gun manufacturer I like so much now appeals to (and
caters to) complete morons. Ugh.
