Sig is pretty much bankrupt everywhere except in the USA. Sig USA is pretty much Sig. Sure, the corporation is still based in Germany and largely German-owned, but one step at a time, right?
SIG SAUER Closes Operations In Germany; Continues Business As Usual - Soldier Systems Daily
You may have seen reports that SIG SAUER has closed its German factory, with some even going as far as to say that they are going out of business. While it is indeed true that they are closing their operation in Eckernförde, Germany, SIG continues to do quite well at their international...soldiersystems.net
Probably an aid package for them.
I don't buy firearms made by companies that hate me.The whole 'buy American, just because it's American" thing is dumb anyways. Just because it's made in America by Americans doesn't mean it's the best. When it comes to the military, we should be purchasing the best available at the best price, because it's the best, regardless of who designed and makes it. If that company then wants to build a factory here and hire workers then fine, as long as the quality remains at the highest standard possible. I follow that mantra as well. I don't care who makes it or where, as long as it is the best possible product that can be produced. It's why I carry HK
As an aside, does anyone know of a purely American manufacturer that even makes pistols that meet the standards and requirements listed for the new service pistol?

The problem is that if the parts are made by your enemy ( ie China), they can cut you off. Same with medicines. We need to be able to make our own.The whole 'buy American, just because it's American" thing is dumb anyways. Just because it's made in America by Americans doesn't mean it's the best.
