Y'all DO UNDERSTAND that the EU is a socialist/Muslim run conglomerate.

Y'all do understand this is a 5 1/2 year old thread?

Do love reading world views from people who have never left their borders ........

IWA is German Shot show. Every time I go there I see new evidence of decline as far as German firearms industry is concerned. On the other hand I see rapid development of Turkish industry.
In pistol matches I shoot CZ tactical sport orange and it beats sig 226 in every aspect. I see no valid reason to buy a sig. I had a p320 and sold it after one week.

Agreed on the shift from German to Turkish firearms industry.

I did a quick check on the Tactical sportOrange and sportscen's warehouse sells them for $2k. Probably can be had for little less , but I don't know that I would compare that to any sig P 226, even the legion. Both my P226 are duty guns, but I own them for the history , not the technology. .So yes , I would say your CZ is far superior. And while I don't believe the P320 is a dangerous gun, it in no way compares to your CZ. Your TSO is a great pistol.

A CZ TSO would be somewhat comparable to Sigs SAO 226/220 X5 or X6 series. Basically factory customs.

The total lack of support I received from SIG after buying a new 1000.00 handgun that was not shootable , they can close all their factories as far as I am concerned. So after spending 200.00 to correct it, it's fine, but I will never buy another SIG product. Yes, that was 2 years ago, I am still pissed. I talked face to face to SIG rep at a show who said they were working to improve their customer service. No offer from him concerning the problem I encountered. I was refered by someone on this forum on where to go to resolve my problem. I made the phone call across the country and first words spoken by the individual who answered were, Where are you calling from I don't recognize the area code. I told him, and then he asked if I was a new Sig owner, amazing.For those who buy now, I hope they have improved there customer service, I use the term loosely.

I had the same experience with Sig.
Bought a 9mm that kept stovepiping. Any ammo. Sent it in, got it back in 2 weeks.
They replaced the recoil spring which did nothing for the issue. I called, was told to rack the slide 200 times. ???? Did no good. I called again. This time I was told that I'm using the wrong ammo. I had tried every ammo possible. They said that they had fired 20 rds with no issues.
Thay said they use Federal American Eagle and that's what I had to use.
I said I didn't want a pistol that would only run on one particular type of ammo. They said " well then sell it". I did, and will never buy anything Sig again.

I had a kitten knock a two year old pair of binoculars off the desk. They broke in half at the hinge. Sig sent a prepaid box to send them back and replaced them with a brand new pair of the latest version. Can't get much better than that.

I had a SIG red dot that wore out batteries whether you turned it off or not, the dot looked more like a geian of rice and was angled from 2 o'clock to 7 o'clock. After weeks of haggling the sent me a new one it was as bad as the first. They didn't even want the first one back just wanted the serial number so no one tried to warranty it twice.

prolly something they contracted for in China or elsewhere in the Pacific rim. Made to a price point but with a storied name.
