Well there's been a development in the P320 Airforce incident, it looks like a second Airman has been arrested on several charges. But can SIG breath easy at this point? We also discuss Bob Vogel's arrest and charges, Rare Breed's "interesting" actions at the recent GOALS industry event, and we get into structuring and optimizing your FFL website. All this and more on the latest episode of the Cap & Ball Saloon!

On today's episode of the Cap & Ball Saloon we'll be talking patents and highlighting Colt's new striker fired design. Does Colt want to throw it's hat into the Glock Gen 3 market with its own offering? Traditionally offering 1911 style pistols, could Colt be making a competitor to Glock or do they have the M&P 9 Metal HD in their sights instead? SIG has been in the news for all the wrong reasons, but a new patent from a former SIG employee may give the P320 a chance at being safe again. We discuss. Finally for FFL's we'll be talking Google Business Profiles and setting them up along with some tips on how to get feedback from your customers online. All this and more on today's episode of the Cap & Ball Saloon, stay tuned!

SIG has stepped in it with their response to the P320's claimed issues and the internet is not letting up. Join Anders E.T. Herzberg and Jason J. Green as they sit down to discuss the history behind this mess, what issues have been brought to light, and what SIG really should be doing to get out of this mess. Many people are pointing out SIG's failings, but what should they do to reverse course and stop the fire they started? Two digital markers with decades of experience sit down to talk about the ongoing public relations nightmare that SIG has created and give them a possible way out. I highly recommend you view the companion it has links to the resources and videos to watch for more information on the evolution of this problem. https://www.capandballseo.com/journal/reputation-management/sig-p320-issues/ I didn't expect this to be what we launch the channel with, but this issue is too large to ignore, and Cap & Ball is uniquely positioned to talk about the fall out and marketing aspects of SIG's actions to this point. Along with the experience necessary to give advice on how they should proceed from here.
