Patreon Submitted Interview Questions For JDI/SAN Imports:

#1. dapadan
When will the 551 from last year be at FFL? When are the mags coming? When are the other accessories coming? Will he still support SIG products with parts and such if firearms/mags can't be imported in future? If not, where do we go? Please say thanks for all that he has done for the community. And thank you Mischa and Jay.

1. Just seems like SIG Switzerland moves at a snail's pace to get product made and shipped. Are they just, small, not busy, etc. They seem nothing like SIG USA, which is good and bad?
2. Any plans for product improvement to the 55x platform, perhaps a heat shielded forend or Mlok factory (not add-on) handguards?

#3. Greg Bell
Any chance you might bring in HK MR 308 pistols? How about ARX 200?
Or maybe HK243 pistols?

#4. Michael Martinez
1. If you had to do the SIG AG import business all over again, what is one thing you would have done differently?
2. Are there any SIG AG firearms that way over-performed or under-performed sales expectations?
3. What's your personal favorite SG55x?
Thank you for all your hard work, Dave! I really appreciate everything you've done for the SG55x enthusiast here in the US.

#5. Wolfy
What is Sig’s greatest strength, and what is their biggest weakness?

#6. Matthew & Mauser
THe future import of Swiss semi autos seems risky at best due to politics. As the ATF continues to drag its feet with the 751 in 6.5 creedmoor do you see any possibility of future semi auto pistols coming into the US, or is the risk to high for business?
if semi autos are banned from import, are there any plans to import something in its place? Just a suggestion here.... but one could open an import business in Mexico, I hear there are a lot of people coming over the border that are willing to carry stuff....

Saw this article from TFB in 2014, says San Sig had 34 employees and laid off half of them at that time. Is this a basically empty building, with a few people assembling left-over parts from the "Old Days"? https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2...

Any update on importing FAMAE firearms from Chile? Also thank you for bringing in awesome Swiss firearms!
