Plenty of other domestic brands to buy, Savage or Mossberg or Henry or whatever.

These are bolt action deer-getters, not Pantsir S1's. And outside of a handful of countries, no one is buying Pantsirs except Algeria (and maybe Iraq, which means half of them are going to end up as NATO playthings).

I wouldn't disagree, overall, but it may not be that clear-cut. I heard Sig Sauer is closing a German factory and the US plant will be exporting US-made Sigs. Reminds me of the Accord I used to have, made in Ohio. Are these wins for foreign companies? I tend to think of them as domestic wins with foreign owners getting a slice off the top.

For Sigs I suppose the market still exists in the US where it wouldn't in Europe.

You can’t legally buy new Russian-made gun in U.S. due to sanctions.

Are they? What makes you say that? I would have assumed the CAATSA would make it very difficult to secure big budget sells.

It's not very effective against places with low US economy exposure.

Economics dont happen in a vacuum
