SWISS ARMY'S TIMELESS PISTOL

摘要

SIG is a very old company. The Schweizerische Industrie-Gesellschaft began as a wagon maker in 1853, expanded into railcar manufacturing and in 1860, along with the formal adoption of the SIG acronym, entered the arms manufacturing business with a handsome contract from the Swiss Federal Ministry of Defense to build 30,000 Prelaz-Burnand muzzleloading rifles. Thus SIG began a history of arms making that has lasted for over 150 years, but the Swiss manufacturer didn't become famous for producing handguns for almost another century.
