German SIG plant closing...

I had a late '80's/early '90's German P226 and it was totally different, quality wise, from a new one I had the chance to shoot a few months back. That, combined with 2 friend's horrible CS experiences with them, has me out of the market for a new one.
 
I sent my kimber gold combat back to the factory 3 times. Had no satisfaction from remington on a 700. Browning, same thing. I bought a Tikka, no problems. Bought a couple more kimbers, no problem. Buying Today is a crap shoot in the firearms market. My most recent buy is a kimber Micro 9 in 9mm. Handy to conceal & carry, looks good, hard to shoot well. I have to practice a lot. It had a 8 lbs trigger pull. I bought a $50 trigger kit, 20 lbs recoil spring, $50 aggressive hand grips. Installed skate board tape of the front back strap. Their 'checkering' was for amusement only. It's ok for now.
I got a Walther Creed in 9mm. This has to be the most underrated pistol ever. Low recoil, crazy accurate & light weight. And for $320! And Not one problem.
My biggest aggravation is the time and $$ spent on returning to factory. I spent $$ on a trigger job on my browning bar, only to have it replaced by their factory nazis. Shipping $$. The lack of customer service is brutal. Don't get me started on gunsmiths when they 'estimate' how long they will take to get you work done. You might as well 'lone' a hooker $1000, because she will 'promise you' to pay you back next week!

I was born there and still have family there what that FREAK has done to that country makes me sick.
For me. Germany was the canary in the coal mine. The immigrants that have just walked in and have taken o0ver w/o a shot fired is sickening. The only country that has their house in order is Hungary, and the EU hates them for it. I wish the best for your family.
