    US Army purchase of various SIG weapons...

    Do any .gov agencies currently use the SP 2022?

    "The contemplated effort will be a Firm Fixed Priced (FFP) Purchase Order to be completed once the kits are delivered 14 days after award. Sig Sauer was the only company identified through market research that could provide the necessary various Sig Sauer Systems (firearms), namely the SP2022, MPX, and the MCX along with silencers and associated accessories to include magazines and spare parts which met the Government’s requirements for a Commercial off the Shelf (COTS). The acquisition of production items from sources other than Sig Sauer will not meet schedule requirements."

    From what Ive read elsewhere this is likely "military aid" to another nation.

    No dude is going to get shot in the chest at 300 yards and look down and say "What is that, a 3 MOA group?"

    The number of people flipping out (on other forums/comment sections) over this is ridiculous.
    AQ planned for years and sent their A team to carry out the attacks, and on Flight 93 they were thwarted by a pick-up team made up of United Frequent Fliers. Many people look at 9/11 and wonder how we can stop an enemy like that. I look at FL93 and wonder, "How can we lose?". -- FromMyColdDeadHand

    Seems like it would be free publicity for SIG.

    They could also be wanting to field test these for a larger contract. Noticed they cancelled the subgun contract a few days ago. Maybe they decided to give the MPX a serious look. Not to mention the SP2022 from all accounts is a very solid design. While I'm not a fan of SIG USA's business practices, they are attempting to design some more modern weaponry.

    Pretty sure my SP2022 is actually made in Germany. And it has been "old Sig" reliable.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
