SIG SAUER is expanding their ammunition manufacturing capabilities in Arkansas.<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re an experienced shooter, by this juncture you\u2019re painfully aware of how brutal\u00a0the ammo supply<\/a>\u00a0has been over the last year and change. Supply has been down, costs have gone up, numerous price increases have been announced, and there\u2019s been precious little end in sight for months. Starting in early 2020, the industry saw something of a perfect storm of pressure factors squeezing the supply chain and skyrocketing demand. The cascading effects of Covid-related logistical issues, civil unrest, panic buying\/hoarding, vast throngs of new first-time gun buyers in record-breaking numbers, and political\/governmental concerns wreaked havoc on the balance of supply and demand for virtually every type and size of cartridges and shells, other than a scattering of more niche calibers like\u00a0SIG\u2019s 300 H\u2019AMR offerings. TFB has covered the ammo shortage and related matters, like new gun owners, and a sampling of some of those articles from the past year are listed for you below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SIG makes a plethora of different ammo types and calibers, like the 9mm and .300 Win Mag variants shown here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thankfully, lately we\u2019ve started to see things level off a bit as demand has begun relenting slightly, and some manufacturers are making a bit of headway in catching up their production. One of these ammo makers is\u00a0SIG SAUER<\/a>, which produces dozens of their own in-house brand ammo varieties in an array of calibers, purposed for competition, hunting, defense, training, and more. Jacksonville, Arkansas is the home of SIG\u2019s ammo production, a suburb of Little Rock in the middle of the state. Recently, a local newspaper, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, published an article detailing SIG\u2019s plans to expand their ammo plant\u2019s manufacturing capabilities. That article can be found\u00a0here<\/a>. Some of the details behind SIG\u2019s \u201cV-Crown\u201d defensive handgun ammunition.Find SIG Sauer Ammunition<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to (hopefully) bolstering the supply of ammunition to customers, this planned expansion will create some jobs as well. At the time of this writing, the \u201cCareers\u201d section of SIG\u2019s website lists twenty-two current job openings at their Arkansas facility<\/a>, with more expected to come as the ammo manufacturing growth initiative progresses. Many of these are directly related to ammo production, with titles like \u201cBrass Manufacturing Technician\u201d, \u201cBullet Manufacturing Technician\u201d, and \u201cAmmo Operator\u201d. The site also lists 161 openings for SIG\u2019s home base locations in New Hampshire, as well as thirteen in Oregon, which is where manufacturing for their Electro-Optics division is based. Hopefully, other companies follow suit, and we may start to see more ammo at lower prices on our store shelves soon. See you at the range!<\/p>\n\n\n\n SIG SAUER is expanding their ammunition manufacturing capabilities in Arkansas.<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re an experienced shooter, by this juncture you\u2019re painfully aware of how brutal\u00a0the ammo supply<\/a>\u00a0has been over the last year and change.
