Learn More It seems that more than ever, departments are switching to SIG SAUER products. We get a lot of press releases, and these types of releases have been coming more from SIG than any other manufacturer. We're not sure if departments have all of a sudden realized they need to upgrade their firearms or maybe they've gotten more funding? Either way, units are getting rid of outdated guns. Here's the most recent statement from SIG SAUER: Newington, N.H. (December 18, 2018) – SIG SAUER, Inc. is pleased to announce the Philadelphia Police Department has adopted the SIG SAUER M400 Pro Rifle for their SWAT officers.
