It's a shame, because it is a super nice gun to actually shoot.

But at this point, given how Sig has responded (the article has a nice summary), the cover-up is bigger than the crime, almost. The trust is broken at an organizational level.

I don't feel like all manufacturers would respond like this, and it isn't the response I expect from somebody reputable.

Yeah, too bad. It’s actually quite an innovative and cool design. Shoots pretty good for a striker (still a far cry from CZs and 2011s). The ecosystem also started to develop around it (eg 1911 angle grips, high quality holsters, etc.) Sig optics and accessories also got quite good, too.
