Out of curiosity: is SRO completely centered on Shadow 2 slide?
Reason for asking: CGW milled one of my slides for a direct SRO attachment. The optic is one mm off center. Doesn't make any difference. More so, I am not complaining: they milled the SRO pocket over the existing DPP pocket, allowing me to start divesting from DPPs, so I am grateful. I am just curious if off center is how they do it in general, or it is because they had to work with an already milled slide.
Luke Cao, now infamously rated a B class at the time of taking the fourth place at the Nationals. Walther with SRO.
One of the first ones with a "not a Glock grip angle" capitalizing on S&W inability to capture anything other than Jerry Miculek. I really think this is the main reason.
Others: reliable, accurate and affordable out of box product that shoots very well (save for the trigger and grip surface treatment, I personally have no criticism), very active marketing campaign, initial sponsorship of 25 people SIG team, continuing sponsorship of top performing shooters like Max, Mason Lane, Daniel Horner, Lena Miculek etc, Max killing it in every match (I think he may have been undefeated for 3 years), and obvious willingness to innovate to improve performance (pre-tensioned barrels, tungsten infused poly grips as the examples). As I stated many times, I don't like the company but they totally deserve their success.
