Lots of jobs posted on NSSF's website.  Seems to be more every day.  Alas, nothing for me.   :'(

I sent resumes to S&W, Sig Sauer, Ruger and Kahr....  These are all in my backyard..

Nothing, not even a "thanks but no thanks!"

With Sig your best bet is to apply in person, no matter what the ad says.
You will get an interview as soon as you finish the application.

Most of these companies will also just throw your resume away if you're not applying for a posted job opening.  Found that out the hard way, too.

Plus...there's a good chance in a year or two they'll end up laying some off.

But by then you have a year or two of experience in the industry.   8)
