SIG status South Africa?

I understand Bernhard Agencies no longer do Sig, is it still safe to buy in terms of spares and magazines?

**JhbBoy** · 09-01-2017, 14:48

Blaser has taken the agency, if I recall correctly.

Should still be ok.

The holding company for Sig Sauer, Lüke & Ortmeier Gruppe (L&O Holding) has opened a local distributor and they will be wholesaling from what I have heard
So all is good as far as Sigs are concerned

L&O Group SA is the new agent. They are the agents for Blaser and Mauser.

So should I still consider sig as an option?

They will have to prove themselves for me.

Yeah, but let's give them the benefit of the doubt, shall we. Perhaps two weeks after their sudden appointment (November 2016) was way too soon to ask them about imports in 2017?

Benefit of the doubt is indeed charitable, but once-bitten-twice-shy and all.

It does look like they are part of the holding company that owns SIG in Germany...so let's see.

Agree. It didn't fill me with confidence that they know anything about this market segment when we contacted them after their appointment last year, but let's give them a chance.

I wonder when they're going to start contacting the dealers?
