NEWINGTON, N.H., (February 23, 2024) – Beginning Friday, February 23, 2024 through Monday, February 26, 2024, SIG SAUER is celebrating the iconic SIG P226 with an exclusive, limited time 40th Anniversary promotion. When you purchase a SIG P226 during the promotion, you receive a $226 credit at the SIG SAUER webstore (sigsauer.com).
“With millions upon millions of rounds of proven performance, the SIG P226 has rightfully earned a legacy of accuracy and reliability,” said Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, SIG SAUER, inc. “With 2024 being the 40th Anniversary year of the iconic SIG P226, we are offering this exclusive promotion to coincide with P226 Day in celebration of the rich military and law enforcement history of the pistol.”
SIG SAUER developed the P226 to compete in the U.S. Military’s XM9 service pistol trials. Even though it was not ultimately selected, the performance and capability of the P226 captured the attention of the elite U.S. Navy SEALs. They would officially adopt the P226 in 1989 to become the MK25, and it would serve throughout the Global War on Terrorism as their official service pistol. The selection by the SEALs marks the beginning of a rich history between SIG SAUER and the U.S. military and the P226 became the cornerstone of several future successful partnerships to include the M17, M18, and the Next Generation Squad Weapons (NGSW) program. Today the legendary P226 has seen decades of refinements and is highly regarded for its enduring quality, superior reliability and accuracy amongst law enforcement professionals, military units, collectors, and shooting enthusiasts.
