Sarge Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Looks like SIG got all they needed from the shooting team. I've never liked SIGS anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimH Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Ehh, no bitterness from me. I'm appreciative of the opportunity I was given. I was rocking a Sig before I was selected for the team. I'll be rocking a Sig now as well. Their decision doesn't change how I feel about the products I represented. If I didn't believe in them, I wouldn't have stayed with the team. I have no regrets. In the end, it's all business. I get it. Am I sad? Sure, we've been a family for the last 2 years. But that dynamic certainly won't change just because we're no longer wearing the same shirts.

Flatland Shooter Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Why? Are they no longer supporting the sport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few working theories ranging from "the 320 has become successful enough to sell itself" to "the 320 is possibly favored to win the DOD handgun trials".

mwx40x40 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Bummer for Lena since she has not long left S&W. Wonder if they would take her back. Will also be interesting to see who picks up Max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimH Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Max and Lena are just fine and are still with Sig Sauer. Sig decided to drop the Team Sig (gray shirts team). Max and Lena will continue with their contracted roles with Sig Sauer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejez Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 wow thats surprising. It will be interesting if everyone is like Tim and will stick with their sigs or if we see some ppl switching now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimH Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Well, I shot my Sig Max 1911 over the weekend at the MO Fall Classic. Just because Sig made a business decision, doesn't mean I'm immediately selling off all my Sig stuff. I was shooting one long before the opportunity to shoot with Sig, and I'll continue to do so even now.... Unless of course someone or a company puts something amazingly better in my hands, I don't see any reason or need to switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayK Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I'm still shooting the P320, and will continue to do so. No change for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkS_A18138 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I have heard the 320 is now going to be the gun of choice for Texas Department of Public Safety! I am happy no more damn 357 sig all over our range, I was told they are switching slowly to 9mm!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you actually *want* to be sponsored (I don't), then tim's attitude is the most sensible one to have, and because of that he will probably be sponsored again before long. If people think you only use the product because you are paid too ( or bribed with free stuff, professional shooting blouse etc...), that doesn't speak well for the product. OTOH, tim has given the impression of a person who believes sig is a great product regardless of sponsorship. I have a commemorative sig1911 that is very well made and accurate, so I would agree they make a nice 1911, even tho i paid for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejez Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 what did shooting on "Team Sig" mean? I don't know much about that type of sponsorship and what benefits these shooters even got? Did they give you all sorts of free guns and ammo or pay for your travel/expenses/match fees? Or did you just get to wear the team shirt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
actionshooter Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Tim, You have an awesome attitude! Sponsorships aren't about "what can they do for me"....too many people loose sight of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
