Damn shame. I wonder if the Walther group could snag the euro 210 rights and tooling. | |||

So no longer made anywhere in Switzerland or in Germany? They don't have another plant elsewhere? | |||

Yes, the United States. | |||

Yes and this could be a great part of Sig US if all 130 employees are relocated here. Seal them off from the main company to let them create and build fine weapons. | |||

Just devastating news...never saw something like this coming. ________________________________________________________________________________________ | |||

This is terrible news for we Sig enthusiasts, but I feel very sad for the 130 employees. What a kick in the junk!

Darn. Sad news indeed. I feel badly for the employees. No more Mastershop. _________________________ 2nd Amendment Defender The Second Amendment is not about hunting or sport shooting. | |||

Odd, given that they had revamped their web appearance not too long ago and even released some new Classic P-Series models. What strikes me as noise though is the complaint that they had no chance of getting any Bundeswehr orders, they never had any in the past either... Still a shame though | |||

I'm saddened, both for the skilled craftsman who will lose their livlihood, as well as the loss of an iconic and historic firearms manufacturer. This really be the end of an era. I'm also saddened because I had dreams of one day being able to import a few specific SIG Sauer models not available in the U.S. I'm hoping a 'reverse Berlin Airlift' plan can be put into motion and some entrepreneurial philanthropists will start importing/ rescuing German SIGs into the U.S. at a mad pace, before the deadline.

Just now had a WhatsApp text exchange with my colleague in Germany. He said that in addition to illegally selling arms to Colombia, they also sold arms to Iran and pocketed the money. Managers were sentenced. In his words, they did a lot of bad things. | |||

Very sad news. I have a couple X5s from Eckernforde. | |||

Damn and here I was anticipating a bit of a resurgence since it seemed they finally put the Colombia mess behind them. It’ll be interesting to see where one will be able to find spares once the doors are closed. ------------ SP2022 - 9mm | |||

I have never heard anything about Iran sales and unless you can give us a cite I highly doubt it is true. The deal with the Colombia Government was done at the request of the US military. It wasn't a rogue operation. | |||
|
Don't Panic |
I wonder what fraction of the German operations are affected by this? Is this all of their German production, one site out of many, or? | |||
|
Gracie Allen is my personal savior! |
If this completely shuts down operations in Germany, can SIG US (assuming it has the funds and inclination) open up a satellite operation of its own there? As others have pointed out, there's a lot of good resources collected there. | |||
