Go ahead punk, make my day
| Welcome to the forum. SIG seems to fulfill / produce in batches. So if they aren't making RXs right now, it may take awhile to fill your order. The cheaper price also means SIG might not prioritize filling orders for that vendor if demand is up. So to save the $100, you wait.  |

| And SIG recently won the handgun contract w/ DOD with the 320, production might be focused there fulfilling that contract. |

| Yeah I don't get the "order it and wait" mentality for very common firearms.
Custom rifles? Sure
Hard to find weapons through a known distributor who will be getting them first? Okay.
Wait months with no reliable timeframe of an order being fulfilled for a weapon I could have in under a week from other sources? Nope, not even to save $50-100 if it's something I want.
I quantify the time I have to shoot something as valuable and just waiting for SIGs standard party line of 6-8 weeks, cough cough, maybe months... NFW. |

Does your dealer buy direct from SIG? At your price point I would say yes. So unless he places huge orders on a regular basis (much like the big box stores), Newington will get to it when they get to it. At least that's how they are with us when we place orders for a handful (or less) of firearms from them. Even when we do larger orders we still 'get in line' and accept the fact that actual delivery will be measured in months and not days and weeks, especially for popular models, as well as for guns that are out of their current production sequence.
Last year I included in an order an add-in P229SSE for a customer and was quoted by the local rep Maschmedt that it would take 4-6 weeks for that specific model to ship. Instead it took 8 months to arrive, which by that time the customer had changed his mind. If I had even an inkling that it would take so long, I could've bought it through distribution, took a hit on margin, but had a happy customer that I wouldn't have had to GIVE HIS PREPAYMENT BACK.
Thank you SIG Sauer.
Yep, that's Sig for ya  We're a Sig Master Dealer and I ordered a 320FRX in early April and another in early May, current schedule dates for both are late September. It would probably be a miracle if they make it in by then. That's just how they roll. Unless you are a heavy hitter in the market you wait. Its frustrating as hell! The calendar you and I use doesn't seem to work anything like the one they use in NH. The P320RX guns also took a MAJOR price increase a couple of months back, just because they can. Thanks again Sig   Class III FFL/SOT firearms dealer |

Money won is sweeter
than money earned
| My LGS has had one in the showcase for a couple of weeks. They kept tempting me to buy it. Almost pulled the trigger, but waiting for my Wilson EDC X9 to show up. Maybe once I pay for that. The 320RX is a really nice gun!
