What is stopping him from placing an order of 5,000 550 “pistols?” Has Swiss Arms fallen that far?

Sig Sauer AG has been closed because of COVID in Europe. When they opened up and it was obvious the import regs were coming from the Biden administration. He called Sig and asked what they had available and he ordered everything they had available hoping to get it here before May when they thought the new import ban stuff could hit.

A) saturating the market means someone will be sitting on a pile of invested capital
B) Swiss Arms is a skeleton crew, even pre-Covid and relies heavily on subcontractors
C) only someone like Century would swing like that at inventory and we all know what their track record is

Very nice. I wish I had picked one up when they were a bit more plentiful.
