The 5" job appeals to me.

School is in session. Pay attention, and take notes Spuhr AB. He's the world's best gunsmith.

The Story Behind Spuhr – How It All Started
Hi, I’m Håkan Spuhr. When I was 10 years old, I decided I wanted to become a gunsmith.
To get there, I first went through technical trade school and then spent 8 years working as a tool- and diemaker. After that, I transitioned fully into gunsmithing.
One of my specialties back then was welding on SIG P210 frames – a very precise and demanding job. The arrow in the photo points to where the frame was cracked and welded. I welded hundreds of these over the years.
This particular P210 (shown here) is the very first one I welded, back in 1991. It also got a welded-up beavertail for a better high grip.
I left full-time gunsmithing in 2004, but I still take on the occasional project for myself or for people who matter to me – always old-school, hands-on work with almost no CNC involved. It’s the total opposite of what we do at Spuhr AB today, where everything is precision CNC-machined.
If you enjoy this kind of classic gunsmith content – vintage repairs, custom work, and no-frills craftsmanship – follow me here at on X, or check out my YouTube channel (spuhr_ex_gunsmith).

Two groups of shooters: folks who have not trained at SIG SAUER Academy and Experience Center yet, and the rest of us who always come home again.

This weeks Instructor Spotlight: Jimmy Suazo, Instructor Program Manager

Before joining SIG SAUER, Jimmy served as a Federal Officer with the U.S. Coast Guard. His diverse experience across military, law enforcement, and private industry allows him to connect with a wide range of students. “I love sharing information I’ve learned throughout my career with people who are passionate about the same things!”

⚡ Why Consistent Training Matters:
“Skills fade! Even the best athletes show rust after not training. Train with a plan and specific intent.”

His approach blends patience, a welcoming environment, and a lighthearted tone, all while emphasizing safety and learning. “Everyone starts somewhere. It can be an intimidating sport or hobby, so I keep things lighthearted while driving safety and growth.”

🎯 Takeaway for Students:
“I hope every student learns something and has fun doing it.”

What he loves most about being an instructor is that he gets to teach people that are eager to grow themselves as shooters. "I also love working with our amazing team with diverse backgrounds. Whether it's Special Operations, SWAT or Police Officers we have so much and common and share the same passion."

💪 Motto: “No one cares. Work harder.”

We are proud to have Jimmy sharing his knowledge and inspiring shooters every day at SIG SAUER Academy!
