Not even sure if we’re still playing, but I’m going to say retirement.

Being awarded a CUT by Para.

Sig Product Evolution

H&K-Guy

A passport? Drivers license?

We are all headed to judgment day before God
Having faith and living your life according to the gospel brings you closer to God
Many have passed on to Heaven
Some will still not reach the kingdom of Heaven

The quest for the perfect Sig

Rounds through a magazine.
An FFL dealer.
Gun being shipped.

Is it about flying in an airplane to another country? American Airlines.

Let's try another avenue. I remember sometimes you'll throw a clue that doesn't have as much to do with the puzzle as we think.

What on EARTH are you talking about?

THESE THREE THREADS? They are all connected by a SPACE.

Manned space flight? The atmosphere?

Wherever your journey may lead, you will not reach your destination except through me (atmosphere).
The more you work at it, the closer you get (as rocketry advanced, the closer to leaving earth orbit they got).
Many have gone through (the atmosphere), but the rest have yet to succeed.
But sadly, some will fail completely along the way (many failed space missions... Apollo 1, Challenger, Columbia, etc.)

A stretch I know, but what the heck.

School, college, graduation.

We all start with a gun we learned to shoot. Trying different ones to find one that really fits and checks all the boxes.
Eventually, (if you’re smart), you buy a Sig and join SigForum to learn more.
You proceed through your journey with SF friends over the years until you become a long time member complete with CUT.

Experience

Respect. Specifically the respect of Para and one's fellow SF members.

Money for retirement.

A plan.

A goal without a plan is a dream.

Growing a beard like santa!

Years of shooting for a smooth trigger pull, trigger job.

Knowledge, experience, and learning from others that graciously share their own for the benefit of others.

Sigs through Germany to the importer.
