Thanks Henry for this informative vid. I am a happy owner of the Sig P365XL pistol and a Sig Sauer & Sohn 357 mag single action revolver. The revolver is an excellent pistol, well made, heavy, and accurate. I'll be buying a P365, the short, original one as it's more compact for carry. Not to say I'm unhappy with the P365XL, it is an excellent pistol too. I am covetous of the Sig P310 but don't have the coin to afford one yet.

Cogent analysis, Thank you.

The Germans were never going to let the German SIG/Sauer succeed without smothering them in red tape and export difficulties. SIG (Swiss) had done most of the work with producing the SG550 for the Swiss army and so was due to massively scale down. SIG (Swiss) was like a company building high-end German cars, built up to a standard and not down to a price. That wouldn't fly in the US with $300 polymer pistols and $500 AR-15s. SIG/Sauer Inc was more like Toyota or Honda. Now they build pretty good products for a reasonable price (I own a number of both sides). And with Swiss and German export controls, they both had no chance to run it all from Europe. Another factor was the US import bans, which stopped the import of the SG 550.
