[QUOTE="Buck Buster, post: 1362215, member: 99718"] In 1853 a Swiss wagon factory entered the competition to develop a state of the art rifle with the hopes the Swiss army would adopt it. In 1864 the award went to the Swiss wagon factory for its Prelaz - Burnand rifle with an order for 30,000 rifles they changed the name of the company to Schweizerische Industrie - Gesellschaft known worldwide as SIG. Fast forward to 1949 the SIG P49 was developed for the Swiss army and became a legend on the battlefield as well as the competition field. That same year the P220 made its appearance as the new pistol for the army , soon followed by the compact P230 for the Swiss police. These pistols offered new features and levels of reliability never before seen in the industry. In 1970 they expanded to include J.P. Sauer & Son of West Germany, known for their hunting rifles. In 1980 SIG set their sights on America, 1985 marked the date of Sigarms, Inc. In 2001 Sigarms, Inc continued to expand its role in the firearms market. On October 1, 2007 they changed their name to Sig Sauer. In response to world demand for their products Sig invested 18 million dollars in state of the art manufacturing facilities and equipment. In 2014 Sig Sauer moved to its new production facility to Newington NH... It would appear that Sig can make a very good product at their first try. I think making things happen for 164 years might have a little to do with it they have been around a long time. Good luck hunting and be safe. [/QUOTE]
