This recall is for ammo. With multiple recalls in recent years, it would seem that SIG is no longer the same company that, decades ago, produced the classic SIG P210 pistol
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SIG SAUER 9MM, 115gr, Elite Ball, FMJ Product Warning and Recall Notice
NEWINGTON, N.H., (August 22, 2022) – Sig Sauer has determined that portions of Lot No. JDAR0815 of SIG SAUER 9MM, 115gr, Elite Ball, FMJ (SKU E9MMB1-50), may have powder charge variations that could result in a bullet remaining in the barrel (i.e., a bullet-in-bore obstruction). Firing a subsequent bullet into a bore obstruction could cause firearm damage, rendering the firearm inoperable and subjecting the shooter and bystanders to a risk of serious personal injury.
Ammunition from this lot should be removed from use immediately and segregated from other ammunition until it can be returned to SIG SAUER.
DO NOT USE LOT NUMBER: JDAR0815
The lot number can be found on the inside flap of the individual boxes of ammunition.

I have some of the West German Sigs.
They are the same company.

Interesting. I was going to say that I doubt that SIG makes its own ammunition, but it appears that SIG DOES make its own ammo, and it's made here in the United States.
This is an interesting list. There are a number of brands on here I've never heard of.

That list IS interesting - it says that Browning is made by Winchester, but Winchester is made by Olin . . . aren't all part of the same parent company?
And I didn't realize the Herter's name was back, this time from Cabela's. I remember going through the "Herter's Sportsman's Store" back when I lived in Minnesota, and paging through the Herter's catalogs when I was young; Herter's was as enthusiastic back then about touting their products as being unquestionably the best available as Mike Lindell is about MyPillow products today. Of course, Cabela's doesn't MAKE the ammo - they subcontract it out "somwhere." And with Bass Pro Shops running things now, well, how good ANY of their stuff is today is open to question. (Aside from ammo, I used to like Cabela's brand cargo pants and cargo shorts - they're gone now. Thanks for nothing, Bass Pro. :mad: )

I wonder if all of the brands would do a recall for squib rounds? At least Sig is doing the recall and putting out the information.

I sure as hell hope that they would.

I'm pretty sure the major brands would - there's a lot that depends on their reputation. I DO remember seeing occasional recalls from the big boys over the years.
Smaller "boutique" ammo makers I'm not so sure about - I've read some less than confidence inspiring anecdotes about CorBon and Buffalo Bore. So for what is euphemistically called "serious social work" I stick to premium lines of ammo from the major brands - and still keep my fingers crossed.

They do, I tend to keep an eye out for them
I've even posted a few ammo recall notices in here.
