The icon used a real Sig bottom end .
So it would never be legal here .

Simples ................... Sig does not sell frames

The Icon Sig frame originally had a slide and barrel on it .

Therefore it cant be converted .

Sadly the owner died in a (motorbike IIRC) crash and no one has followed on his work.

lollol
Seems Blackrifle are already ahead of the game listing it on their website? wonder if they have any more details.

The UK market could certainly do with some variation.
The GSG "Firefly" should be with us around the end of this month. We'll post a review and proper pics as soon as they are available.
