Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft was established in 1853 to manufacture small arms for the Swiss Army.
The Sig P-220 was chambered for the 9x19mm, the.38 Super, and the.45 ACP rounds.
The next 9mm SIG pistol was the P-226 and it came in answer to the request by the American military for a high capacity 9x19mm pistol to replace the aging 1911 pistols in U.S. inventory.

 SiGARMS P226 Pistol
Schweizerische Industrie-Gesellschaft (SIG) began making pistols at its factory in Neuhausen, Switzerland, starting in 1919 with the Chylewski “Einhand.” That was followed by a series of military pistols based on the designs of Charles Petter that culminated in the Model 210 of 1949.
SIG teamed with Saco Defense, then-maker of the M60 machine gun, to offer a pistol that was about the same size and weight as the U.S. M1911A1, but that offered a 15-round magazine capacity.
SIG partisans are prone to credit the Beretta victory in the pistol trials to political pressure, and cite the later adoption of the SIG P228 as the U.S. M11 compact military service pistol as proof.

When the SIG Sauer pistol is decocked the hammer does not drop to full rest position against the firing pin but instead falls to a safe, intermediate position.
Both the SIG Sauer P226 and the eventual "winner", the Beretta 92 passed each standard and test requirement during the evaluation, clearly surpassing the performance of the pistols proposed by Colt, Ruger, Heckler and Koch and Glock.

 TM SIG 552 AEG review
SIG 55x series: I'll start this review off with a little bit of SIG history as the 55x series is not very well known here in the U.S. The SIG 552 is based on the Sturmgewehr 550 rifle designed by Schweizerische Industrie-Gesellschaft as a 5.56mm replacement for the aging Stgw57.
SIG refined the weapon, renamed it, and started producing the 600,000 rifles ordered by the Swiss Army to be manufactured over 15 years.
The SIG 551 carbine is adopted by many law enforcement teams, but special forces groups all over want an even smaller SIG around the size of a submachine gun but with extreme reliability and a 5.56mm round.

The Civil Guard headquarters contacted the Swiss firm of Schweizerische Industrie-Gesellschaft of Neuhausen am Rheinfalls in the spring of 1923 to investigate the possibility of a production contract with the renown arms firm in regard to the manufacture of new barrels for their Finnish rifles.
After the initial order with SIG had been placed, the Civil Guard continued to run testing with the barrel specifications of the Mosin Nagant in an effort to improve upon the original m/1891 design.

In 1949 the nomenclature used by SIG for this pistol changed to "P210", and the first variation of the pistol is known as the "P210-1".

 Arms control orphans | thebulletin.org
Although they have been overshadowed by the firepower, range, and technological dazzle of intercontinental missiles, jet fighters, and combat tanks, small arms are the weapons of choice in many of today's conflicts--internal struggles rather than wars between sovereign nations.
These weapons belong to a well-established class manufactured by a mature industry, but there is little information about the numbers of small arms and light weapons being produced, transferred, or stockpiled.
The first rifle was invented almost 500 years ago, and although the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries have witnessed important inventions and breakthroughs, the industry is mature.

 Historic Firearm of the Month, February 2001
A contract for 4,000 was let to SIG in 1908, with a unit cost of 160 Swiss Francs - four times as much as a comparable Mauser bolt action rifle.
As noted by SIG, the rifle's proper function was entirely dependent on the quality of the ammunition.
It transpired that the functioning of the self-charging rifle is so dependent on the quality of the ammunition, which plays a similar role in the self- charging weapon to that of the fuel in a combustion engine.
