Vickers Guide: SIG Sauer, Volume 1 (Standard Edition)

Dating back to 1853, the Schweizerische Waggon Fabrik, or “Swiss Wagon Factory”, has grown from a small business manufacturing wagons and railroad carriages in Switzerland to one of the largest and most successful small arms producers in the world today, with a history of firearm manufacturing reaching from Switzerland to Germany and the United States.

Vickers Guide: SIG Sauer sets out to track the course of SIG Sauer from its inception to the present day, with visits to: the SIG Sauer Museum and SIG Sauer AG manufacturing facilities in Neuhausen am Rheinfall, Switzerland; SIG Sauer manufacturing facilities in New Hampshire, USA; and visits to private collections in Switzerland and the United States.

This First Volume of Vickers Guide: SIG Sauer focuses on the pistols and submachine guns produced by SIG Sauer on both sides of the Atlantic, starting with the commercial P210-series of pistols and the military P49 – arguably the finest service pistol in the world. The book continues with a discussion of the modernized P220-series and the Swiss P75 service pistol, detailing the evolution of the P220 and its growing adoption and support in the United States with special operations units, law enforcement, and the civilian market.

This Volume continues with coverage of modern developments at SIG Sauer by providing behind the scenes glimpses into the introduction of the P320 pistol and its adoption by the U.S. armed forces as the country’s newest standard service pistol – in the form of the M17 and M18. Also covered are inside looks into a number of other pistols, including the P230, P232, P239, SIG PRO-series, and the industry changing P365 line of pistols. This First Volume also delves into submachine guns – starting with the Swiss-produced Modell 1930 and continuing through the present day with focus on the MPX and its derivatives.
