Sig Sauer firearms are one of the most recognized weapons platform in the world. Because of the wide spread use and interest in SIG firearms, ATAC TV Firearms Channel began review and testing of some of their "flagship" products to produce instructional videos for the benefit of our viewers. The original SIG Company was created in 1853 and started building muskets for the Switzerland's Federal Ministry of Defense out of a Swiss Wagon Factory. Today, Sig Sauer produces a vast array of firearms marketed through out the world, and is one of the largest firearms manufacturing entities on the globe. According to SIG Sauer, at least one-third of the United States Law Enforcement or Police use their firearms.
In 1985, SIG created an American branch and moved to Exeter, New Hampshire with new facilities to handle an initial large investment of manufacturing equipment. SIG Sauer has recently tripled its work force and invested huge sums of money in new state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and equipment to keep up with production orders. SIG continues to be recognized as the fastest growing firearms maker in the United States and is capturing a large portion of the firearms sales in this country.
