SIG Sauer
SIG Sauer traces its roots to 1853 in Switzerland as the Swiss Industrial Company (SIG), later partnering with German manufacturer J.P. Sauer & Sohn. Now headquartered in New Hampshire, SIG became a household name after the U.S. Army selected their P320 as the M17/M18 service pistol in 2017. California roster options include the P226 and P229 — long the standard-issue sidearm for the Navy SEALs and numerous law enforcement agencies — plus the SP2022 and 1911 variants. Many of SIG's newer designs like the P365 haven't made it onto the CA roster due to microstamping requirements.
