The SIG Pro is a series of semi-automatic pistols manufactured by SIG Sauer in Exeter, New Hampshire.[1][2] It became the first polymer-frame handgun from SIG Sauer and one of the first pistols to feature a built-in universal accessory rail and interchangeable grips.[3]Template:Rp Offerings in the series are chambered in .40 S&W, .357 SIG, or 9×19mm Parabellum. Template:Asof, only the SP 2022 variant is still listed on the SIG Sauer website.[4] The SIG Pro was marketed as a lightweight[5] and compact alternative to the "legacy" SIG Sauer handguns in an increasingly competitive and budget-oriented law enforcement market.
Variants
There have been two generations of SIG Pro offerings, with five total variants.[6] The below are each hammer-fired semi-automatic pistols operating in double action / single action (DA/SA), with a decocker and without a manual safety, unless noted otherwise.
First generation
These offerings feature a proprietary SIG accessory rail.[6] It was originally developed as a .40 S&W caliber service pistol and introduced in June 1998, followed shortly by a version in .357 SIG. About a year later, a 9×19mm Parabellum variant was introduced and entered production in response to demand for the type.[3]Template:Rp
- SP 2340 – chambered in .357 SIG or .40 S&W.[7]
- SP 2009 – chambered in 9×19mm.[8]
- One model (P2009-9-BMS) features a manual safety and shortened trigger.[9]
- SPC 2009 – compact version of the SP 2009, chambered in 9×19mm.[9]
Second generation
These offerings feature a Picatinny rail, and a trigger guard that is visibly different than the first-generation variants.[6] The design was selected in 2002 as a new service pistol for French police, intended to have a 20-year service life (until 2022), hence the model number.[10]
- SP 2022 – chambered in 9×19mm, .357 SIG or .40 S&W.[11]
- Some models (such as E2022-9-BSS-MS) are available with a manual safety.[12]
- SPC 2022 – compact version of the SP 2009, chambered in 9×19mm.[13]
