Article name edit
I wonder... would this article be better named SIG Pro Series? Opinions? Thernlund (Talk | Contribs) 05:19, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
- I think the current title is fine. The article needs some serious work though... Koalorka (talk) 15:15, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
Requested move = edit
SIG Pro → SIG Sauer Pro Series — The SIG Sauer P220, SIG Sauer P226, SIG Sauer P230, SIG Sauer P238 and SIG Sauer P239 are all "SIG Sauer", not "SIG". Consistency is good. The pistol is being sold by SIG Sauer now as the SIG Sauer SP2022. Faceless Enemy (talk) 18:43, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
- moved, uncontroversial request
Note: the word "series" has been made lower case as it is not a proper noun. billinghurst sDrewth 13:43, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
SIG Pro was the original trademarked name - USPTO Trademark 76087568 - D.E. Watters (talk) 22:57, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Origin and designers edit
Can we really prove that it was designed in the US? The German patents first filed in 1997 would seem to point to the European parent company, then named SIG Arms International AG. The designers are Theobald Förster (Swiss), Rudolf Fuchs (German), Joachim Schmidt (German), Sebastian Rost (Swiss), and Marcel Rutz (Swiss.) The US patent applications followed a year later.

They certainly were not always completely manufactured in the US as that is part of the reason the German government has been pursuing legal actions against the German firm in recent years. The SP2022 sold to Colombia were first exported to the US, and then sold to the Colombians via a Foreign Military Sale (FMS) administered by the US Army (W52H09-09-D-0158.) D.E.
