To DAK or not to DAK?
I would like to hear your opinion, thanks

    do some gun buyers have a preference as to where a Sig Sauer pistol is manufactured?

    Some prefer the older, two piece slide German manufactured SIG's, but they've been manufacturing pistols in the US for around 20 years now.

    Note though that even today US manufactured SIG's use German manufactured frames and are marked as such.

    I have a preference for 'older' SIG pistols regardless of where they're manufactured. They now use MIM'ed internal components and IMO the trigger pull on these isn't near as good. However, when it comes to reliabilty and functioning they're still good stuff.

    to Rob87T; Yes, the US. A seller suggested to potential buyers to refrain from buying a Sig made in one of the US plants (either NH or MN, I can't remember which). I guess his Sig was made in the "other" plant.

    To Txs: Thanks for the info. How would I identify an older Sig? Also, I can't figure out what MIM'ed means.

    MIM is Metal Injection Molding.

    It's my understanding that SIG began phasing in MIM components 5 years or so ago.

    I don't know of any definitive cutoff date, but my agency adopted SIG's 10 years or so ago. Over the past couple of years we've received additional lots of pistols but these have all been the newer rail framed style. These newer types are the only ones I've seen with MIM'ed parts.
