At least the German part of it.

Kind of sad to see.

We live in a highly regulated world where the winners and losers are chosen by nonelected, untouchable bureaucrats. Somethings are a accident.

Very sad.

Proof to many regulations are bad.

As per the article @ the link it sounds like those 130 skilled craftsmen now out of work should apply for a US Visa and continue to practice their profession over here. I’d love to have a SIG trained gunsmith locally. Hard enough as it is to find a good one.

Proof that over regulation will drive your industry into the ground and it will flee over seas to freer realms.

Live free or die baby! that 's the NH way.

Unfortunate I suppose, but compared to the overall size of the company it looks like a fairly modest down-sizing, and if anything will benefit American manufacturing.

If this article is true, then it’s been in the works for quite some time.

Well, guess the value of all my German SIGs just went up......

So what does this mean for Sauer firearms? They still in business?
