You know, I read the Guns 'n Ammo review as well. I'd have a lot more respect for some of these gun rags if they ever came right out and said a product was ridiculous, or the quality stunk, or some other legitimate criticism.

They aren't there to give real reviews. They exist to sell advertising and Sig is a big advertiser. No biting the hand that feeds . . . .

If you read between the lines sometimes they give a gentle "hint" about problems with products that they review.

But you are right on about gun magazines [or is it gun clips?] being "shills" for their advertisers. They might as well change their name to "Kimbers 'n Ammo" or Sigs, Glocks, etc. :mrgreen:

You'd think, right? In a pistol, yes, but for a pistol caliber carbine, I want a double stack magazine with capacity.
Para USA for one! 14+1 45ACP. Giggity.
Cheers!
