Not saying you are not telling the truth but this comes as a shock to me.

Nuck, I don't know if it was something the dealer came up with on his own,
or if it was a short term bad decision on Sig's part. He had all of his Sig pistols
in a different showcase, and when I went over to look at them, he gave me
that line about "law enforcement only". This dealer is buddy-buddy with a lot
of deputies and such, and I hear that not everything going on there is legit.
I had only been in that store a couple of times, and have not been back since.

I did have occasion to contact Sig a few years ago concerning the clip on
my Hammerli target pistol that they import. They were nice to me and very
helpful. I may eventually get over the bad taste for Sig that one of their
dealers gave me. I know a retired detective from my area that works part
time in a gun store, and he swears by Sig Arms. I haven't had a need for
one, as most of my pistols are used for bullseye shooting, and I haven't
seen anything I'd rather carry than my Smith that would match it's power
and light weight. I may eventually get on of the little Keltecs, simply because
you don't need a holster for it.
