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.

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

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?
