    SIG Sauer Files Bankruptcy in Germany

    Link to original article in German:

    Sig Sauer schließt seinen deutschen Standort. An dem Rückzug ist jedoch nicht nur die Pandemie schuld. Schon zuvor kann der Waffenhersteller keine großen Aufträge für sich gewinnen. Als Grund sieht er seine internationale Ausrichtung.

    That's very sad.I'm surprised no one offered to buy the company. No more German made Sigs

      Not surprising, considering how horrendously they have treated and been completely untruthful with their civilian consumer base for quite some time.

          I can hear the wailing and gnashing of teeth among the Sig fan club people even now.

              All the Cops love their SIGs. Another large group of guns dropped off the Roster List.

                    Everything I've read so far pertains to Germany. I haven't found anything yet about the US plant. I did read that their parts will continue to be available but who knows for how long.

                        But isn't that where all the coveted German Sigs are made?

                            Hk is close to the same fate. German laws and policies are what drive them out of business

                              You wouldn't expect it, but all the coveted German Sigs are made in Germany.
