Factor 4--License Rights--Ammunition was probably the actual determining factor.
Yeah, looks like they beat Glock on:
Ergos
License (price):
Ammunition
Handgun
Accessories
And manufacturing plan…which is kinda interesting. Sig had the better ammunition manufacturing plan (wonder who they partnered with?), and matched Glock on production plan for the pistol.
Glock won on “Early warfighter acceptance”…which I take to mean “reputation among troops?”
And Program management plan…I guess Glock has good project managers…or a good line of BS??
Sig's bid was over 100 million less than Glock, so that tells me they beat Glock on ammunition, pistol, and accessories (holsters, suppressors, magazines, cleaning equipment, armorer's tools, etc). With that big of a price gap, they had to beat Glock on pretty much everything. Clearly Sig wanted this one for real! Hope it works out for them.
