I always wanted a German x5 tactical, and was sad when they stopped being available.
Might get another chance.
I think Sig Sauer USA lost their ability to import guns from Germany due to the guns they sold to Colombia. Cohen was briefly detained last time he was in Germany related to that. I also do think that Sig cares too much over small volume imports and they are trimming back on the classic series regardless. The MCX and P320 are the future for Sig USA.
Hopefully SPC 2022
I would have assumed that Sig USA would have had some kind exclusive deal on the imports to keep the money/control in their court. But who knows. Maybe that expired. Maybe the aforementioned shadiness mitigated such arrangements. Maybe this is all pure speculation and I have no idea what I’m talking about.
I looked at sigsauer.de...
A lot of the same stuff we have here: P238s, 1911s, Legions, 10mm P220s.
Could be that stuff is actually made in here, and shipped over there. But it looks like their P210 is definitely different from what’s made here (ie, it’s the “Legend” we got a few years ago). Wonder if they make P229s and P226s over there?
