| abstract | - The SIG Pro is a series of semi-automatic pistols designed and manufactured by Swiss Arms AG (formerly SIG Arms AG and Sauer & Sohn) and distributed in United States by the SIGARMS. It was the first polymer-framed handgun from either company. It is available in several variants (SP 2009, SP 2022 and SP 2340) and chambered in .40 S&W, 9 mm Parabellum and .357 SIG. The SIG Pro series of pistols is a joint effort between two famous European arms makers; SIG Arms AG (now Swiss Arms AG) and J. P. Sauer & Sohn of Germany. As with other joint ventures between the two companies these pistols are sometimes referred to as SIG Sauer. It was originally developed as a .40 S&W caliber service pistol with a polymer frame and modular design and was first announced in 1998 as the SIG Pro SP 2340. About one year later, the 9mm version, designated the SP 2009, was introduced and entered production.
