I'd forgotten that Sig ammo is made here in Arkansas. Might be great stuff, but don't think I've ever used any of it....over 2,300 employees throughout 9 facilities in New Hampshire, Arkansas and Oregon...
Actually....No more German made Sigs . well theres still HK
They can all move to Texas.Actually....
I believe part of Sigs abandoning of Germany was over hostile treatment by the government launching never ending probes into violations of German/Euro export rules.
Top execs have had charges filed against them.
HK has had the same thing happen. HK has also seen a surge in operations and manufacturing transferred to the United States.
If the Germans are smart they might see the regulations and red tape are driving out their gun industry. But maybe that’s the goal anyway.
...and be welcomed with arms wide!They can all move to Texas.
If you ever get a chance to take a class or attend a match there, jump at the chance.Sig in NH is right by New England Dragway. Unfortunately, the Summernationals aren't coming to the Northeast, but last I saw Sigs sign was still there.

You got it!I thought Sig Sauer was originally a Swiss company that eventually combined with a German company, and they fairly recently built some plants in the US (headquartered in New Hampshire). I definitely could have that confused somehow? But now the German company has gone belly up, the Swiss part of the company is still hanging on somewhat, and, perhaps by default, it's basically an American company now? I'm corn-fused?
You’re in Hazen..? I used to live in Lonoke County, not far from there. Live further north, inside the Jim Kress WMA now. Welcome, fellow Arkie.We got the news today, that Fiocchi is coming to Little Rock and building an ammo plant!! Thanks to Governor Asa Hutchinson's hard work courting them!
