About Us

"I have bought many guns over the years. But no brand surpasses, and few even match, the quality, fit, finish, and out-of -the-box accuracy of the incomparable SIGARMS products. If I could own only one handgun, it would be a SIG - probably my new stainless P226."

"Just bought a GSR 1911- a very nice 1911 - shoots like a fine custom gun! Keep up the good work y'all do in making some of the finest firearms in the world. I will be looking for more great items from SIG!!! Thanks for all y'all do - an Ole East Texan appreciates it."

"After several years of shooting and enjoying shotguns in skeet/trap shooting, I decided to get a pistol. In New York State, where I live, the permit process can take up to six months. I spent all of my waiting time researching what I was going to buy when my permit finally arrived. As an engineer, I tend to overanalyze situations, and my pistol selection process, was no exception.

I shopped gun stores across two counties, talked with every knowledgeable person I could find, purchased every magazine, and did countless Internet searches. Finally, after narrowing down my options and putting together a large matrix, which compared factors across the different models, I settled tentatively on the SIG P239.

A few days afterwards, my permit arrived and I went to visit my favorite store. Still unsure about my selection, I asked Fred, behind the counter, if I could look at a 239. 'Oh', he said, 'now that's a great choice!' And the deal was done.

Now, I attend a weekly defensive shooting competition. Everyone asks about my SIG. I had gotten very used to showing it off and explaining the various features and specs that I had memorized while shopping. At this weekly event, the range officers use many techniques to model realistic defensive situations such as moving targets, shoot/no shoot targets, etc. One of their favorites is to distract you with some idle conversation right before activating the timer that signals the start of the shooting drill. I had gotten used to the standard, "is it still snowing out there?" distraction, among others. One week, a range officer I had not me before, set me up on the shooting line. As I set up, he asked about my SIG, "Hey, is that a 9MM?" Without thinking, I started spouting off my usual round of statistics and features. Suddenly, while in mid-sentence, I heard the buzzer of the timer indicating that I had been fooled, but, at least I had the right pistol."

"I am pleased to hear the news of your support for the fallen heros of Special Operations. I am also pleased to tell you that I have P226-NAVY soon to be registered and am honored to join in your efforts to support military families as you are."

"I would just like to add my kudos regarding the SIG-P220 in .45ACP. In firing countless handguns of a dizzying array of caliber types and and nationalities, I have never experienced a more accurate, nor reliable handgun. I can actually shoot the P220 more accurately than I can most .22 rimfires. Truly a remarkable pistol, and a testimony to the obvious skill in engineering, fabrication and assembly."

"My SIG P220 pistol is by far the finest manufactured pistol I have ever had the pleasure of owning and firing. If fits my hand like a custom pistol, left or right handed. It has digested all types of ammo. I have always used tetra lube products and so far, with over 6,000 rounds through it, the anodization has not worn off the frame like it did on my other gun made by a different manufacturer after only 50 rounds. SIGARMS has made a pistol that is so comfortable and reliable that is has become the sole pistol that guards my home and family, a job that goes only to the finest firearm. My wife was so jealous of my SIG and it's comfort that I had to buy her a SIG P230, which she loves. She has even taken on the task of cleaning it herself. SIGARMS should revel in its success for creating such a pleasing and reliable line of pistols."

"As a former police offer I was permitted to carry any firearm I wished as long as I qualified with it. For the last 2 years I carried your Model P220 45 ACP and found it to be the most accurate and reliable duty weapon I ever owned. And you can quote me on that."

"I wanted to let you know that my Sig Pro 2340 is by far the best gun I have ever owned. I bought it when I decided I wanted to go through the police academy and it has outperformed my other pistols. It is a terrific and accurate gun and I always receive compliments on it from the other guys. Thanks."

"I am a retired law enforcement officer from California with eight years prior service in the Army, now working security for the Alabama State Senate. I would just like to take a moment of your time to say thanks for supporting the families of fallen heroes through the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. It is companies and people such as you that continue to make me proud to be an American. Thanks again for your patriotism and support."

"I own two SIG SAUERs, a P229 and a P232, they are the most accurate and easy to shoot pistols I have ever shot. I often leave my "other brand" pistol in the range bag and will probably end up trading it for another SIG. You have a great product, and I look forward to your next outing in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area."

"A little over a month ago, my wife and I went on a quest to find the perfect self-defense gun, one that was small and compact enough for comfortable CCW and packed the power that I desired. Having never owned a firearm prior to my quest, I had no idea what brands and models to look for. After researching the Web, gun shops, and magazines for several weeks, I came to the conclusion that a SIG would be the best bet. I found myself walking into a local sporting goods store that carries a nice selection of firearms. Looking through the glass cases, I came across a beautiful, compact model -- the SIG Sauer P239 .40 S&W. I asked the dealer to remove it from the case so I could take a look at it. What lay in my hands was truly a piece of art. I looked at some of the other SIG's under the glass and decided on the P239. I put it in layaway and after a week of torturous desire to own the gun, I paid for it in full and waited 2 days for the NICS clearance. Once the gun was in my property, I purchased a couple bricks of FMJ ammo and a box of self-defense rounds. My wife and I setup some targets on some country property owned by a friend of ours. I loaded the magazine, chambered a round, and topped off the magazine. I then fired off the first shot...UNBELIEVABLE!!! The first round was a few inches shy of orange on 25-yard pistol targets. I then fired off the remaining 7 shots at 2-second intervals and had a nice 4-inch group. I was amazed at how accurate this gun was, especially the first time shooting it. My wife's amazement mirrors mine. We are both very happy with this purchase and vow to never part with our 'first SIG.' We can't thank you enough! Thank you, SIGARMS, for such a fine firearm!"

"I had the opportunity to try out one of your fine firearms at my local range over the weekend. It was a SIG SAUER P226 in 40 S&W. Wow! Right now I have two pistols from other companies but your firearm kicks serious butt. P226 is probably the next pistol I purchase."

"I was going over basic marksmanship and safe gun handling with two young men soon to be sent to basic training in the armed forces (two of my six sons). One is now at Marine Basic Training (Parris Island, SC) and the other will soon be in Navy Basic Training (Chicago, IL). I was making them shoot at 25 meters to 'get the hang' of the AR-15 rifle - shooting from a kneeling position - but their groups were a little large for that distance (two inches). Regrettably (for them) they complained that nobody could do better with a rifle from the kneeling position under the circumstances.

I insisted that, with a good weapon out-of-the-box, shooting properly becomes a matter of training, practice, and mental discipline. Well, they remained quite skeptical.

I was carrying my "buddy", a SIG P239 in 9mm loaded with standard factory 115-grain ammo (Winchester 155 grain Silver Tip Hollow-Points) in a strong-side holster. Coming up to the firing line. I raised the gun, steadied my lower abdomen against a table (while standing and holding the SIG in an isosceles stance), and fired off nine rounds, in nine seconds, at their target (25 meters). I pulled the target up to our shooting table and showed them the evidence: a two-inch perfectly centered group clustered around the x-ring.

Their jaws dropped and the shooting ceased momentarily at the range while bystanders inquired regarding the 'gunsmithing' my weapon had undergone.

None, I replied.

'But 9mm's won't stop a felon with one shot like a 45 can,' they replied.

I pulled my P220 out of the range bag, inserted a magazine full of factory 230 grain hardball, and fired a three-inch group into a target at 10 meters as fast as I could pull the trigger.

'How many people have you seen who've actually been shot?' I inquired.

There was no answer.

'I have seen more DOA's with 9 mm and 38 specials than all other round combined,' I said, 'Accuracy and tactics counts more than caliber,' I stated rather sarcastically.

Everybody left me alone.

My sons stood by looking at me quietly. 'Get the best gun you can afford, practice every week, and place your bullets where they will be most effective", I said.

With 9mm factory ammo (in bulk) little more costly than .22 ammo there is no excuse if you don't shoot often (I shoot 300 round a week, every week, and never shoot without first drawing my weapon from a holster).

My son's determination thus invigorated by seeing an "old fart" (I am 45) out-gun them with a SIG, they went on to clean my clock with the rifle (while I nearly beat them with my SIG).

SIG's need only two modifications once purchased: a magazine full of good factory ammo and a VERY light coating of oil on their internal working mechanism.

Thanks, SIG!

"I recently bought a SIG SAUER P220 and there's no question it's the best .45 I've ever had! Thanks so much for building a great gun."

"I would like to commend SIGARMS for their attention to the Foundation with their production and sales of the P226 Navy. I was privileged to be able to purchase one of them. It is most thoughtful of SIGARMS to remember those families of fallen service members."

"I just purchased a SIG SAUER P226 9mm pistol for home protection and target shooting and I absolutely love my new pistol. It is so easy to handle and shoot and very easy to disassemble and reassemble. It is such a high quality gun and I am so happy with my purchase and I wanted to let someone at SIGARMS know! Thanks!"

"Ever since I was a young boy, I always remember the times I went shooting with my stepfather. We always shot revolvers...he never owned a semi automatic pistol. I can recall being nearly frightened by the sound and recoil of the .44magnum.

Well, 15 years have passed, and within those 15, I have not fired a single firearm. That is, until I purchased a SIG Sauer P-226 (.40S&W), recommended by my brother-in-law (Sheriff and Texas State Prison Guard). The P-226 was my first ever semi-auto pistol EVER!

I went to a local firing range the day I got it...after cleaning it for nearly 3 hours, that is. I would catch myself wiping it, in awe, and double, or even triple checking the barrel and slide lubrication. After fondling my new work of art, I proceeded into the firing range. Now remember, this was my first time EVER to fire a semi-automatic.

My first shot was just off bulls-eye...

I was shocked...I could not believe how smooth and accurate it felt while cycling rounds. The way the grip and frame felt within my hands...I was a changed man! I could not get over how accurate it was straight out of the box!!! Complete and utter satisfaction would be putting it mildly... In my opinion, there is no other brand. I felt the quality and craftsmanship the moment I pulled the trigger. I cannot thank you enough SIGARMS. You have changed my life. Thank You!"

"As a 30 year cop, I thought you may be interested in this short story. A couple of weeks ago I was loading my motorcyle for a day's ride, and did probably the stupidest thing of my life - I left my Sig Pro 2340 on the back seat behind the backrest. To make a long story short about 15 miles down Interstate 540 around Raleigh, NC it came off at 75 mph. Other than a few scrapes of the finish and couple of rough spots on the sight the pistol works perfectly. Me and all my gun friends are really impressed."
