Sig Sauer

The “Swiss” in SIG Sauer refers to Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft (Swiss Industrial Company), a firm that began in 1853—not by making guns, but by building wagons. Their pivot to firearms birthed some of the most mechanically “perfect” weapons in history, most notably the P210, often called the “Rolls Royce of Handguns” for its legendary accuracy and fitment. While the brand is now a global powerhouse with massive operations in the U.S., the Swiss branch (SIG Sauer AG, formerly Swiss Arms) remains the guardian of the brand’s precision DNA, continuing to produce the SG 550 series—the backbone of the Swiss Armed Forces.
