Didn't they just discontinue these a couple of years ago?
I love Sig's pistols but man this is such a Sig move. Equinox motif needs to be left in 2005 where it belongs (along with short sleeve button up silk shirts with flames on them).
Focus on meeting demand of current pistols. Consolidate the lines down to the cream of the crop and forget these stupid one-off designs that go in and out of style every 5 years.
