and brought it home. My first ever Sig. I haven't shot it yet but it it
doesn't seem to have been fired much so I think it will probably be a
keeper. It's too big for a pocket but compact enough for CC in a belt
holster.

Early Sig slides were folded but hardly considered sheet metal. A folded slide has a breech block and a machined slide does not. Folded slides stopped being produced in early 90’s. Either style is considered excellent quality and well proven by military and law enforcement.
