Sig Sauer picked up a pair of valuable free agents last week. Kevin Brittingham, formerly the honcho of Advanced Armament Corp., will be heading up Sig's new Sig-SD Silencer division and Lindsay Bunch, a former Army Ranger who was a member of the Army's precision weapons R&D team, will be the company's product manager for its Special Weapons Development Group.

Brittingham, the founder of Advanced Armament Corp., currently holds more than 40 patents in the firearms industry. As part of his work at AAC, Brittingham also led the development of the .300 AAC Blackout cartridge. Brittingham is a founding member of the American Silencer Association, an advocacy group dedicated to championing the use of suppressors and lifting restrictions on ownership.

With the courts finding in favor of Brittingham in his suit against his former employer in December, the non-compete clause contained in his former contract went out window, allowing him to take up employment in the firearms industry.

Bunch joins Sig Sauer after serving for more than two decades in the United States Army. With more than 10 years as an Army sniper, Bunch moved into Special Operations Command, where his skills and experience were used in research and development of many of the U.S. military's precision weapon systems in use today.

Congrats to all parties.
