    When I bought my Toyota in Canada, the warranty was honored at a Toyota dealer in the US.

    In two of the cases, the distributor billed the original manufacturer directly according to their terms. I might be mistaken, but I doubt MD Charlton just takes on the liability of every Sig in Canada without the ability to charge the manufacturer for factory defects.

    How long does a customer wait for a repair if there are only six authorized repairmen in the entire country, including one who does custom work?

    It is kind of scary that Taurus has a better warranty.

    You moved countries - if you'd bought your Toyota in the US as a Canadian living in Canada, you'd be SOL

    Actually not.

    I have investigated this a lot ... there is a perception put out there promoted by the Canadian Auto Dealers that they will not honour US purchased vehicle warranties ... which is nothing more than a false statement to scare you away from shopping south of the line ... in reality most of the major auto manufacturers warranties are valid across North America regardless of where you purchased the vehicle ... don't fall for that one.

    Ok I respect that ,

    when you talk about grey area, are we talking about a physical store in Canada

    or other distributor bringing Sig from Germany (I wouldn't name anyone )

    Secondly, the information presented was intended to provide a service to the buying public with regards to Sig product. We are offering warranty coverage for all the product that was grey-marketed into the country. If you have purchased previously, you are covered. Please register for your coverage. If you wish to pursue the grey-market product in the future, go a head; just know you are buying from an unauthorized dealer with no coverage.

    We are not attempting to "screw' guns owners in Canada. Our intention is to support actual dealers that support the industry.

    Please continue with useful, constructive conservation.

    We are the Sig Germany approved importer. The 'grade 1 and 2' Sig German 226's are refurbished parts guns from a distributor in Europe. No warranty, unless your dealer sends the pistols back to the distributor that brought them in.

    Just registered my two (don't buy ONE, buy TWO!) SIG pistols. Thanks for clearing all this up, especially from several years ago with numerous distributors!

    Cheers and keep helping them noobies out there!

    Hello MDC, I registered my SIG items as you suggested. What is the next step to get one of them serviced ? I sent a request in regard through your "contact us" link.
