SIG is a German/Swiss company, not American. American cars vary in quality wildly by manufacturer, with Stellantis being the worst offender of what you describe but Chevrolet being the least bad (at the moment).
- Zigurd 1y agoBoth Sig Sauer and Glock have US manufacturing. Currently, it appears that all Sig guns are made in the US and Sig is the biggest exporter of guns. American gun culture and the gun business in America is a huge outlier internationally. I would find it hard to think of why that would be healthy.
- margalabargala 1y agoThis misses the point. The person I replied to was saying that American manufacturing was trending towards lower quality because of a shift in culture in American companies that sacrificed quality for profit. The fact that Sig guns are manufactured in the US, or the fact that they are guns as opposed to some other product, are not actually relevant to that. Since Sig is a German company, then one would expect that they would not be subject to the same drop in quality OP described. Since they are, that indicates that the problem described is present in Europe as well and is not a uniquely American phenomenon.
