I recieved my SIG GSR that I won in a raffle to the range yesterday. I field stripped it and lubed it with GunButter before my range session, and found the pistol to be very well built, and it exhibited tight tolerances.
I ran 150 rounds through it using the supplied Novak magazine and a Chip McCormick mag that I had put a Wolff spring in. I also used UMC ammo and PMC. The gun fed, shot, and extracted flawlessly. It is dead-on accurate.
I did have a problem with the rear site coming loose which I was warned about in another forum, but forgot about until it shifted on me about 3 mags into my session. A quick adjustment and an allen wrench borrowed from the in-house armorer took care of business in short order. A dab of locktite when it got home completed the fix. The story I got about the sight was that SIG purposely leaves them loose at the factory so you can adjust it yourself. Sounds kind of hokey to me, and if it is in fact true, a little reminder in the operations manual would be a nice touch.
I am at heart a Kimber man, owning 2 of them that have been trouble free.
I must admit that this SIG impressed me very much. I like the looks of my Kimbers better over the SIG, but so far the SIG will run side by side with them in function and accuracy all day long. It will be interesting to see what shakes out over time. An all day tactical pistol course may be in order.
If you were considering a GSR, I can recommend the pistol with confidence based on my experience so far.
