I’ve had similar results with my SIGS. I have a P220 in .38 Super that is the only gun in that caliber I’ve owned that has never malfunctioned and eats all ammo.

I have a Sig AR-10 (716 iTread) with a 1:25 scope on it. What a wonderful weapon it is. Absolutely outstanding quality.

Germany was able to re-industrialize rebuild their infrastructure basically on our tab. The US kept the bear at bay, allowing them to use their resources to make Germany a commercial success. They have al2ays been surrounded by countries / entities that they could never fully trust as their history of paranoia and conflict shows. The US made it a better deal to play on the world stage of commerce, thus holding those tensions at bay. That’s about to change.

The women’s market must be lucrative if these companies are going to such lengths.

What they don’t realize if that men watch these ads too.

It’s easy not to objectify women. …you just don’t do it. But screaming about it is just going piss off the men because you have to “degrade” them to make your point that way. That’s not a winning proposition.

No H&K products in my stable. Always found them unattractive. S&W, Sig, Ruger, Glock have the lion's share at my place.

How is it a company named after male genitalia has room to talk about objectifying women?

No, it isn’t pronounced “Coke,” or “Kotch” (at least not to the native German-speaker), they just say that to avoid offending American sensibilities.

Their guns are all heavier and blockier than needed. For all their hype, there are far better choices.

LOL, women aren’t customers. They never buy their own beer... they drink beer dudes buy them.

Burquas for all of them are in order. Nothing says “Respect women” like a burqa.

Found a "Stacked & Packed" pic just for you. Enjoy!

Packed, yes; stacked, you need an ocean full of imagination to determine this. lol
Maybe these “babes” will qualify for next year’s SI Swimsuit edition? Looking forward to it.

Some women have power tools and they should be allowed to use them to advance their goals (not porn, though, for other reasons).

Seriously, how is modeling any different than the NBA or NFL?

No one comes close to objectifying women as they objectify themselves and each other. No one.

Another company owned by and run by Euroweenies and globalist feebs. They didn’t need to step into this woke marketing mess, but they choose to go there. Bad PR and promotional move. They already had poor retail marketing presence in the US. This sort of boneheaded move will ensure their market penetration remains marginal at best. If they really believe in the values they espouse, no one is stopping them from simply practicing what they preach and not utilizing any sexist imagery. No reason to hang a light on it simply to make your marketing team feel good about themselves. Oh, and hire a new agency that really wants to help you sell products, not preach to others about moral outlooks.

I blame Snap On tools for caving 2 decades ago to this nonsense.
