What makes the SIG SAUER pistols the weapons of choice for elite units around the world, and the smart choice for anyone? A hard-earned reputation for getting everything right – design, materials, precision manufacturing, ergonomics, function, safety, accuracy, reliability, durability, maintenance, accessories and options. In the U. S., the SIG Sauer success story began in 1985, when the newly formed SIGARMS began to distribute the P220 semi-automatic. Anyone familiar with firearms knew instantly that this was the pistol to reckon with. This SIG SAUER pistol led the semi-auto revolution, and the qualities that made that happen are still here – and then some – in the current SIG Sauer Classic line of pistols. When the time came for a new generation of SIG Sauer pistols, we didn’t set a deadline, we set a goal. The goal was to incorporate the most advanced firearms technologies and at the same time provide true value. While other manufacturers have gone to plastic frames to cut costs, SIGARMS has refused to cut corners. This is what makes the sig pro™ pistol a unique and compelling option. The sig pro is right on the mark for those looking for an exceptional value in a high performance polymer frame pistol.
