Sig Sauer rumors confirmed

Turns out Sig is revamping their whole lineup this year. Coming from both Erhardt and my Sig rep, this is pretty reliable.

  • Everything’s going to have a rail except the P239.
  • Production will cease completely on the P225, P210, Trailside and even the P228. There’s a nickel-slide GOM available, and that’s the last of them.
  • Next year will introduce a single-action P220R and the P240, which is a P245 slide on a P220 frame (think Commander P220)
  • All new GSRs will be the Revolution platform, as Sig has moved all manufacture to in-house facilities.

Very sad news to see so many classic (in the truest sense) models go, and I’m no fan of light-rails. All they do is accelerate holster-wear, and whatever gets swept by the light, gets swept by the muzzle, which I find unacceptable. But hey, I guess that’s what people want.

The details surrounding the GSRs are the most interesting, though.
