FALLing Prices.... It's SIG SAUER SEASON!!!

[Blessed]

There are 100's of SIG models and variations... stocking all of them is simply not practical or possible. Unlike most dealers who offer only a small number of SIG models we make just about all of them available to our customers. We have a constant stream of SIG's arriving and shipping... many of the guns we order get "sold" before they ever get here... other's are never ordered for our "inventory" but instead are only ordered from SIG when we get a specific order from the customer.

It is unfortunate that the models you are interested in are not ones we stock (or have simply sold-out before you got there)... but that's not a problem, you can still buy the gun, you just have to wait for delivery.

As for "how it can be on sale"... that's pretty simple. A gun doesn't have to be "in-stock" in order to be "on sale". If the price of a "custom order" gun was $1,000 yesterday and it's on sale for $800 today then you just saved $200 on the gun if you place an order for it. What's the problem?

If the complaint is that we don't have the gun you want in stock then all I can do is say I'm sorry. I wish we could stock every model and every variation and keep them all in stock all the time... but that's just never going to happen... and I don't know any dealer in Canada that does that.

Even SIG doesn't have every gun in stock all the time... in fact they have almost nothing "in-stock" at any time! When we order guns from them it is rare that they have most of the guns we order in stock... in fact 90% of the time 90% of the order is back-ordered and in many cases can take 3 to 5 months for SIG to manufacture and ship some of our order.

We could just have a "sale price" on the in-stock models (and we often do just that)... but in this case we thought we'd make it an even better deal by offering all of the models (in-stock or not) at the reduced prices so everyone could save some money.

Where's the problem in that?

OK . . Sounds good. Like I said I wasn't trying to be a smart a$$ - didn't mean to offend. I was not trying to suggest complaint that you were at fault for not stocking the Sigs I was interested in - only that as luck usually has it - the ones I liked are not.
Moreover, I was curious regarding items on sale that are special order because I am used to seeing markdowns as clear out of in-stock items or over-stock items unless there is a manufactures rebate involved which is not what your ad implied. Special order items I am used to seeing as full price which is why I asked . . . again no offense intended.

Once again, I must agree with this post!! lol. Thank you for taking the time for such a detailed, sensible response.

Agreed, where is the problem with that? Cheers to you guys, you've always treated me right as a customer and your web site is number one on my 'cruising for a new gun' list. I just forwarded some links to your sigs to a friend who has been looking for a while ... could be the sale that pushes her to buy. Oh and I'm just really trying to convince myself that I don't need just one more .

Not sure why they aren't on the website... give Derek a call or email Scott to confirm that you can place a custom order for one.

Model #220BRS-45-TAS-SUP
Regluar Price: $1,473.00
Sale Price: $1,289.00

But check with them to see if there's a reason that they aren't being shown on our website or if it's just an oversight.

So if I pay in full for a Sig pistol that is "accepting advanced orders", even though I will have to wait - do I still get it at that discounted price ? - that right ?

Are the mags 20 (pinned to 10) that come with the Tac-ops in .40 S&W Mecgar ones or USA Sig?

(thinking about the P226R Tactical Operations with the 4x 10 (pinned 20) mags...)

Also... IF while waiting for it to come in, another discount comes up - can I apply that too for having to wait so long ?

I just put down a deposit for the P226R MK25. Not too bad for $999. Also got a holster coming for it from Raven Concealment.

If you place an advance order then you don't "pay in full" now, you pay 25% at time of order and balance when the gun is here and ready to transfer to your name. The price will be the current sale pricing at time of order.

If you order the SIG-226R-9-TACOPS it is shown as coming with four (4) 10 round magazines... if you order the SIG-E26R-9-TACOPS then it is shown as coming with four (4) 20 'Pinned' to 10 round super capacity magazines . The difference is in the model number... note one is a "226" and the other is an "E26"... this is how SIG (in the US) differentiates between "high capacity" magazines and "10 round" magazine guns.

Having said that, SIG doesn't always have both versions... so we might get one version shipped to us and the other version could be weeks (or months) longer to get shipped... it all depends on what gun models SIG is manufacturing and shipping at any given time.

As for which "make" of mag that SIG ships, that is totally out of our control and it varies from shipment to shipment. We've even seen where the same shipment will have different magazines. SIG uses several different sources to supply them enough magazines to meet their demands... it was just a few years ago that magazines were in such short supply that SIG unilaterally started shipping 1 mag with every gun just to be able to continue their gun shipments (magazines were that hard to source for a while). Thankfully this is no longer the case (limiting number of magazines per gun) but we simply don't have the ability to tell you what source of magazine will come with the gun... all we can tell you is that it comes from SIG (we don't switch magazines or outsource magazines) and what you get is what they shipped to us... of course high capacity magazines do get "capped" by us but it's the same mag that SIG shipped with the gun.

Our guns come directly from SIG USA... they are not purchased through a US or Canadian distributor who then sells them to a dealer. What you buy from Questar is what SIG shipped Questar from the factory... simple as that.

Hi Mark,

I've sent an email last week but still no reply from Scott. I'm thinking about a German P220 X-six in .45, would it be on special since it's not on your website?
