Variable on guns.

Mine is a Walther. Walther guns are manufactured in Ulm, Germany.

Sig Sauer manufactures here, but imports components.

Beretta has a Tennessee facility for the American market. They import some of their components.

I’m not looking up everything, limiting it to solid 9mm handgun producers.

Google is also telling me the metal used for guns is a mix of imported and domestic. So yes, it looks like gun prices will go up with tariffs.

Supply may be an issue for all of the above if the American manufacturers stop importing components and metal.
