Why did the Navy Seals choose the SIG P226?
But why do Navy Seals use a Sig P226? We’re getting to that. The P226 has a shorter barrel than the M9 and for warriors who sometimes fight in close quarters, that matters. The P226 slide is made of stainless steel for increased strength which prevents mishaps and failures like the ones that happened during M9 testing.

Does SIG Sauer make a shotgun?
SA-3 was made by Sauer! I have hunted all my life with Sauers and I saved up to buy an SA-3 brand new when they came out! I cannot recommend this shotgun, it has a nasty habit of double firing! I sent it back to Sig Arms and they sent it back saying there was nothing wrong with it. I own Sauers and Sigs and this gun is a disapointment!
