And start importing surplus ammo again. It is a new dawn.

I haven't shot one, but read this - Convertible Calibers: Convert to 9mm, .357SIG, or .40S&W - interesting.

Hell, just release all the ammo that is sitting in bonded warehouses at the ports that the ATF won't approve, and prices should come down.

I think it comes in .45 too.

Nice plum for the folks @ SIG.

It closely resembles the FN. They come in both hammer fire and striker fire. Mine is a .40 hammer fire pistol.

No. It was reported in Military.com. I saw it in Army Times.

O.K. regarding these Sig pistols. Just talked to my friend who follows this stuff. His words not mine now. "Tim Trump just announced if it is not an American made company with few exceptions our military is not buying it."
Now he added that Sig has a production company in the U.S. so we will see if that passes the "made in America" test with the Donald?

Americans are building them. I'm sure it will pass the "Made in America" test.

Phuque the folks at SIG. U.S. Army's cost-per-copy is going to be $207.00. And the basturds are still making money on them. How much do they cost you?

I'm sure if you agree to buy 280,000 of them they will cut you a deal. Same with Beretta, Colt, S&W, etc.

I just took SOG up on their offer of $279.99 for used Beretta 92 pistols. After I blast, then parkerize them and give them a repaint with Gun Kote and a bake...
