Absolutely LOVE this gun. Have not had a chance to sight in the laser yet, but have put a couple boxes of Blazer Brass 124gr. through this gun without a single problem. I wouldn't recommend this gun for anyone without at least some experience with a larger caliber because the recoil is pretty significant (almost as bad as my 1911 .45) but it does return to the point of aim really well which makes follow up shots pretty quick even with the recoil. Takedown is the only problem I had at first but after finding a Youtube video it was actually fairly easy. The gun is very accurate and groups were very tight at 15 yds. Overall I couldn't be happier with this gun as it was everything I expected and more. If you are looking for a concealed carry 9mm I would definitely recommend this gun.

~Please understand that this is a right-out-of-the-box review~
This is a very solid, tight, mid-sized pistol. Very nice looking. Feels great in the hand with the larger mag. Not too unstable with the smaller mag either. It is quite a bit larger, and much heavier, than my TCP 738 .380 ACP. Will definitely be a Winter carry but should work with "baggier" pants and a tight belt. It fits well in front slacks pocket but has a slight profile. (IWB is not that comfortable for me).

It comes in an insulated cardboard box which is extremely lame. The integrated lazer is a bit embarrassing. It turns itself off after a few rounds are fired. The lazer sight also seems to lose calibration due to recoil. I'll need to keep my eye on that to be sure. The gun was fairly dry out of the lame box so I lubed it when installing the ILM. The takedown is somewhat tricky the first time. Good videos on Youtube helped.

On the range: Fired 30 rounds as a range test using both mags (3x 8rd mag, 1x 6rd mag). I had Luger PMC Bronze 115Grs. FMJ on hand. The first round failed to eject. I had 4 failures to feed (this was not a classic feed ramp / breech issue. The rounds never left the mag on full 8rd mag only), and the slide failed to lock back on empty twice. I didn't find these glitches too disconcerting for a new gun. A few hundred more various rounds and a feed ramp polishing should improve the dynamics well enough. I found the trigger to be consistent and smooth. Very comfortable to fire. Moderate recoil. It is accurate and the night sights are very nice. The "semi external" hammer helps to time release.

So far I'm very impressed with this pistol. I'm sure that we will become good friends after spending more time on the range. I have no regrets. SIG did a good job. A nice case and a better lazer would make it perfect.

First off I have to say this is a great ccw pistol for the price. I just got done shooting my first two hundred rounds of blazer brass 115 grain with no malfunctions at all. And the accuracy on the pistol is top notch. The quality and finish are great as well. My only complaint is the sig sauer laser, it kinda of sucks. Every time I turn the laser on and fire a round it automatically turns off. After doing a little research online I am not the only person experiencing problems with this laser. I really hope sig sauer acts fast to find a fix for this laser or comes up with a new improved design. I give the pistol 5 stars, but because the laser is so bad I am only giving it a product rating of 3 stars over all. And is always Buds price was awesome on this pistol and shipped it to me fast, I give 5 stars to Buds for their service.
