DAO.... no thanks.Got enough of them.

SIG may be calling it DAO, but according to the article, it is a Striker-Fire system. I can't think of any Striker-Fire triggers that are True DAO.

Some consider the Shield DAO too (simply because people figure a Semi-Auto is either SA, or DAO... That there's Nothing in-between).

Like everything else that's hit the market in the last few years, I'll wait to pass judgement until I've actually had a chance to shoot one myself.

Looks like a trigger similar to a LCP no thanks

It's definitely not a hammer fired gun. But even if it is I have no preference other than reliability. After that I'll look at the trigger pull/feel but still don't care if it's hammer, striker or electric impulse

Looks good...

...where do I get one?

My Shield is DAO but I like the trigger. It's not an SA but the trigger is darn good. I shot it today at 10 yards and though there is room for improvement, it and I performed well.

However, I also have a boatload of DAOs and wouldn't mind getting another hammer pistol or two. Not necessarily for carry.
 
As a 9mm Shield owner, it's always good to have more choices, though if I were getting a double-stack compact striker fire, I'd get the DA/SA Walther P99C AS, with it's unique decocker that allows a 9lbs./.6" first trigger pull and 4.5lbs/.3" followup shots.

Not at $600 it's not. I'm a Sig fan as well, but I don't see people flocking to the LGS to buy a $600 gun when there are options just as good for considerably less.

When I saw this Sig my eyes opened wide, my mouth began to water, then, I saw the price and said no thanks.

Looks like a nice gun. Sig quality will get a lot of people interested, especially if it is chambered in .45. I know I am in the minority, but I won't own another firearm without a manual safety. Hopefully a buddy buys one so I can shoot it!

And allows you to decock the striker, which also acts as a striker block for reholstering. Just a fantastic pistol (shoots well too).

"Unprecedented 10+1 capacity"

Umm, like my Glock 26? Which came out in 1994?

I believe they are referring to the fact that is a 10+1 capacity in a gun that is smaller in profile than a Shield and a Glock 43 which is a tad smaller than a Glock 26. So ya, kind of a big deal to put that much capacity in a gun this small.

I have never heard a positive review of an electric impulse trigger on a compact 9mm. ;)

Nice gun, but I expect the street price will be 50% more than the proven Shield. That will not kill the Shield. Not everyone spends all their discretionary $ on guns. Although I do.
 
It's no more a shield killer then the MP2.0 is a Glock killer. Nor the G43 a Shield killer.

This is a big deal for me as well. Also, one of the reasons I sold my Sig P320sc for a Shield 9C. I won't say I will not buy a pistol without a safety but I like the added layer of comfort carrying a gun with a safety.

I watched a video on Youtube about this Sig and they dryfired it repeatedly w/o cycling the slide, like the Smith BG .380. Does that make it a double action?

Please post Link to the video. The P365 is double action with the striker partially tensioned as the slide is cycled, then fully cocked and released by pressing the trigger. I don't think they could Dry fire it without a partial slide cycling!
 
I think I'll try one, then wait for Sig's usual 1st year of "we rushed it to market, so we need to refine it", if I like it. But, even the extra capacity will be hard pressed to beat how well and like a big gun my Walther PPS M2 shoots.

It is also very interesting Sig, didn't allow those press folks to shoot for accuracy indoors. Hmmmmmm
 
Call me very interested. I never bought a sig because most of them are hammer fired which i hate for CCW. This gun however, being lighter than the shield is interesting. Now they could ruin it and price it at $600 which would be the normal Sig thing to do. But if they can price this similar to the shield or Kahr, i would be on board. Whats not to like about this??????
