That won't last. The logistics of ammo alone will kill that. Never mind the development and fielding of TA-50 and such. (Working on the R&D side of the Army really opens your eyes to considerations like this).Originally Posted by jbrimlow
I'm hearing mixed reviews. Basically it's big, heavy, recoil, plus the weight of ammo and reloads...
Heard some strong arguments against from the field.
But...but...OVERMATCH!
"When the phone rang, Parker was in the garage, killing a man."
So it seems SIG might be taking over the role of H&K from previous generations with all the military designs they are getting approved for big contracts. It looks like an interesting design from bottom to top, the ammunition especially seems great but I can't help but wonder about quality. Maybe they work just fine but that's a HUGE roll of the dice considering their track record of beta testing. Maybe the fact that it's for a military contract eliminates that possibility a fair amount?
More like "always/only releases prototypes to civilians for fun"
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.

As someone who has a Gen 1.5 MCX (the one that came out right before the bolt carrier “upgrade”) and Rattler, I’d wait a year or two to let the bugs settle out and go with the Gen2 Spear…

I like my rifles like my women - short, light, fast, brown, and suppressed.
After buying a Sig 551A1 and getting burned on it...then watching it happen again with MCX Gen 1, and MPX Gen 1...
Watching parts disappear for the folded slide Sigs which had 20+ years of adoption and use behind them, virtually overnight...and seeing that continue to play out with guns they had in production for a few years (or more) then dropped (225A1, 239, 220 Compact, 245, etc)
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, I think I'm gonna wait a few more years before jumping on this particular bandwagon. But that's just me. And believe me, I'd love a Spear in 308 or 277 Sig or whatever it's called..
I still just want a SURG upper...
