    Weighs about 7lb ish. Balances well esp. the pistol version. Weight is over the magwell. The arm brace on the pistol also swings to the left and for,some reason, I could not get it to lock. It was sort of flapping around. The SIG reps were not too helpful with it. Guess they were tired. About the same weight as Piston AR. Has quad rails. The trigger was definitely stiff, heavy and gritty on the show gun. Could be the one gun but I didn't test them all. The stock is not Magpul comfortable. I was wearing a cotton shirt and when I tried quick shouldering the rifle, it would slip and ride up. May work better with webbing on. I don't know...

    Thanks very much for your detailed reply Sa. I was hoping you would say the longer barrel version balances well, not that we'll ever see it in NR anyways Doesn't sound like the greatest trigger either...sure looks awesome though...

    IIRC, the carbine has a 16" barrel which is restricted no matter how you slice it!
    The problem with SHOT is we can't get half the stuff in Canada. Almost every firearms manufacturer had a can of some sort on their line of pistols, rifles and sniper set ups! You should see the little .380 types with built in lasers everywhere! The more I looked, the sadder I got. There was a semi auto shotgun there called the SRM1216. Holds 4x4 shotshells in a manually rotated tube. Been around since 2011. Apparently some Canadian importers have tried to bring it in to no avail. The manufacturers aren't even bothering anymore

    That is a tiny gas system. Let's see how the reliability fares.

    Love the features, looks awesome!! Think I'd rather wait for the MPX (9mm) something a little different.
