SIGARMS is the American incarnation of Swiss manufacturing firm Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft (SIG), a company most famous for its firearms, as SIG Arms AG. SIGARMS was set up in 1985 in order to manufacture and import SIG's firearms into the USA, although as of 2000 it has been a separate entity. The original SIG Arms AG parent company was simultaneously renamed as Swiss Arms AG.

	SIG SAUER P226 (2139 words) Pistols of the SIG 210 series are regarded by many connoisseurs as the Rolls-Royces of center-fire autoloaders, but even then their manufacturing costs were becoming so prohibitively high that the P-210s stood no chance of mass acceptance, despite their use as service arms by Switzerland and Denmark. Consequently, SIG's R&D staff turned their attentions to developing a pistol that could easily be manufactured with modern technology, yet would have the excellent accuracy and reliability of their famous 210 series. Eventually, SIG's management determined that it would be more economically realistic to have their new design manufactured by a German company, and they entered into collaboration with the fine old firm of J.P. Sauer & Son. SIG SAUER P228 (1068 words) The SIG P228 9mm remains the quintessential "fed" gun with these and other agencies to include the Army Criminal Investigative Division (CID) and Air Force Office of Special Investigations (OSI). The primary weapon for the DSS, BATF and often FBI agents is the SIG P228. Every SIG P228 I've shot is accurate enough to reach out and touch a target to 100 yards with confidence.
