SIG SAUER Commercial Pistols Now Shipping with Single Magazine
Critical industry shortage of magazines!!
EXETER, NH – -(AmmoLand.com)- SIG SAUER, the leading manufacturer of military, law enforcement, government agency, and commercial firearms, has announced effective March 20, 2009, that all commercial pistols with a standard configuration of two magazines will now ship with a single magazine.
This change in configuration is a result of the critical shortage of magazines throughout the industry. SIG SAUER’s decision to ship commercial pistols with one magazine will allow existing and new orders to be processed without interruption.
Without this change in policy, magazine availability would severely hinder SIG SAUER’s ability to meet market demand and ship product in a timely manner. Distributor and dealer single magazine pistol shipments commence immediately.

This decision by them also made me decide to buy the FNP-9 instead. Despite this supposed magazine shortage FN manages to give you 3 magazines. At $800+ for a pistol it's outrageous to only come with one magazine.
