Swiss-German gunmaker SIG Sauer is offering $200 in factory-cash-back for any “Klunker” handgun offered in trade for a new P220, P226, P229, 1911 or 556 pistol or carbine. The offer is good from Sept. 7 to Nov. 30, 2009. “Kash for Klunkers” is the loudest signal that the Insider has yet seen from a major handgun manufacturer to show that the “gun bubble” of buying-mania is over. SIG produced 111,653 handguns in 2007, according to the latest data available from ATF. According to a SIG promotional flyer, a “Klunker” refers to a handgun from any manufacturer that is, “…operational and free from cracks in frame or other components. Klunker must be a semi-auto pistol of 9 mm or larger or a revolver of .38 caliber or larger.” The $200 credit is only applicable to guns bought from “dealer inventory” which indicates that the pipeline from the manufacturer to the end-user has become clogged. A recent visit to the Tony Scottsdale Gun Club in Scottsdale, Ariz. by one of the Insider’s contacts revealed “…ammo stacked to the rafters.” “Dude, they’ve got SCARs in stock,” my contact told the Insider.
