    I'm curious about the issues with certain pistols. Is it the norm to ditch the gun and pick up something completely different or diagnose the issues with the gun and fix the mechanical problems?

    I used a P-01 back when they first came out. It worked okay for about the first 500rds, and then it developed trigger slap problems(actually painful), it broke a take down pin, and it developed feeding and extraction problems. Went to classic Sigs and haven't had any problems with the 9mm and .40 guns.

    Sounds expensive, especially once ancillary equipment is purchased.

    H&K USP9C V7 LEM has a better trigger than the P2000 V2 LEM (slightly less takeup and a shorter reset).
    It's biggest negatives are a proprietary rail, somewhat blocky grip and even fewer sight and holster options than the P2000.

    DA/SA I'd go Beretta 92 compact or Sig P229 with a SRT.
    H&K's DA/SA triggers are dog shit.

    Seriously, though, the P229s I've had reason to handle recently had HORRIBLE, gritty, hitchy, nasty DA triggers. The SRT SA is nice, but the recent DA has been poop on a stick, IMHO.

    I wouldn't know.
    I shoot H&K's so I've never experienced any "issues".

    My M11A1 had a really nice trigger out of the box.

    That's good to hear. I keep hoping Sig turns around its manufacturing and starts producing the quality of pistols they did when I fell in love with them back in the late 80s, early 90s.

    Sig's biggest issue is a lack of consistency.
    They're too busy perfecting the new rainbow finish to worry about little things like poor quality MIM extractors.
