SIG Pro

Semi-automatic pistol

The SIG Pro is a series of semi-automatic pistols developed and manufactured by SIG Sauer in Exeter, New Hampshire. 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.[8]: 78  Offerings in the series are chambered in .40 S&W, .357 SIG, or 9×19mm Parabellum. As of March 2020, only the SP 2022 variant is still listed on the SIG Sauer website.[9] The SIG Pro was marketed as a lightweight[10] 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.[11] 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.[11] 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.[8]: 78 

  • SP 2340 – chambered in .357 SIG or .40 S&W.[12]
  • SP 2009 – chambered in 9×19 mm.[13]
    • One model (P2009-9-BMS) features a manual safety and shortened trigger.[14]
  • SPC 2009 – compact version of the SP 2009, chambered in 9×19 mm.[14]

Second generation

These offerings feature a Picatinny rail, and a trigger guard that is visibly different than the first generation variants.[11] 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.[15]

  • SP 2022 – chambered in 9×19 mm, .357 SIG or .40 S&W.[16]
    • Some models (such as E2022-9-BSS-MS) are available with a manual safety.[17]
  • SPC 2022 – compact version of the SP 2009, chambered in 9×19 mm.[18]
