Sig P211 5000 Round Update - From Failure to Redemption?

#SIGP211 #USPSA #2011

Five months. 5,000 rounds. One catastrophic plastic recoil plug failure. Here's where my SIG P211 stands today — and why it's become my favorite handgun.

In this video, I cover the original failure, the aftermarket fix from Aquilla Arsenal, SIG's SHOT Show announcement that all new P211s now ship with metal plugs, and their customer service response to early adopters. Plus spring weight testing, the comp delete for Limited Optics flexibility, and how this gun stacks up after serious use.

No sponsorship. No BS. Just honest data from a competitive shooter.
