The SIG Pro is a series of
Variants
There have been two generations of SIG Pro offerings, with five total variants.
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]
