Here is a direct quote from a Sig Sauer employee during my last conversation that I ever had with the company in reference to Sig Sauer P211 GTO combat handgun testing.
Quote, people almost lost their jobs over this man. I thought we had a good working relationship where you'd show 95% of the truth and the gun's performance, but hold back that last 5% to give us some grace and in turn save face for the company. End quote.
the Sig P211 GTO Combat sent directly from sig saar experienced 50 malfunctions across two separate pistols in under 48 hours during testing. The optic flew off the gun and struck me directly in the face. That optic was mounted by a sig saar armorer. This all occurred on camera. The P211 handgun line, in my personal opinion, is an even larger fail than the now infamous SIG P320 uncommanded discharge epidemic.
