The Reinvention of SIG Sauer

[Talyn]

The History of SIG Sauer: From Tumultuous Past to Industry Leader
SIG Sauer has a long and convoluted history. Legal ownership, names, brands, and countries of origin have all shifted many more times than any single article can cover. This article attempts to represent the main events in this history for a better understanding of where SIG has been, and more importantly, where it is going.

The market focus for SIG Sauer has radically changed over the years, catapulting them from just ‘another’ European gun manufacturer to a clear rival of other major companies in civilian sales, law enforcement and military contracts, and customer brand loyalty.

I was at the range recently and saw a custom license plate that read “SIG Girl” on a Jeep. This got

I love LOVE LOVE Sig 220 series hammer fired guns and have had agency issues and personal ones for over 30 years
Now. Great guns.

I never really got into their striker fired (even before the recent drama) I had M&Ps and Glocks I was happy with (well the M&P anyway)

Wish they’d reintroduce the p225A1 it’s legal in all 50 states and would be a great travel gun.

It’s funny because people get on the chase for the finest this gun or the finest that gun and yet IMO the best all around pistol one can treat oneself to is the 226 Legion. If you don’t have a 226 then there’s a hole in your gun collection.

If I decided to really downsize I’d keep my 226 Legion in 9mm and my K frames and be perfectly happy!
226 is a tank and the Legion makes it a Cadillac!

Hi,

Interesting read. I wonder which SIG will be my first.


Thank you for your indulgence,

I've looked at the Sig 220/226 group for decades but they just don't work for me as far as fitting my hand.

I did get a Arex RexZero 1 a few years back which is a 220/226-pattern Slovenian handgun. It has some features that are better than the 226 but still has the fit issues of the Sigs with the DA trigger reach & grip girth. It barely fits me & is a secomdary use pistol.

Maybe I'll rent a couple next time I practice at the range.

Not a hole!

Think of the pride you could bring to west - central Minnesota brandishing your brand new 226 Legion. Might be a bit chunky for your lady hands though. Mind you @KillerFord1977 manages ok.

The meme game is strong in this one.

On a serious note here is the Homeland Security memo on incidents they have had. And while some will have a wisecrack I will say as someone that spent time at FLETC DHS has a good firearms program and for a department that has iver 100,000 gun toters when you combine all their agencies the per capita rate of mishaps is low
