Historical profile
Introduced in 1984 as the SIG/Sauer answer to urban and police precision-shooting needs, an alternative to the Mauser SP66 and H&K offerings.
Available in multiple calibers (.223 Remington, 7.62×51 mm NATO, .300 Win Mag, 7.5×55 mm Swiss), with a 4-round magazine and a hammer-fired short-action Sauer mechanism (rather than a classic bolt).
Adopted by several European police units and the Swiss Federal Police; production ended in the early 2000s.
