The SIG P225 was, for a long time, a stable for the German Police and other law enforcement agencies. The single stack 9 mm compact frame pistol performed extremely well with superb accuracy and reliability. . German Police discontinued its use in 1996 and went out of production shortly thereafter.

AT SHOT SHOW 2015, SIG indicated they were bringing back the P225 with a significant number of upgrades driving the A1 designation. The P225 lacked a good finish, that was changed in the A1. DA trigger pull for the P225 was in the order of 12lbs., that was decreased to 10 lbs. in the A1. In SA SIG kept the 4.4lbs of the original P225.

I can’t speak highly enough on the P225 and from all indications the P225 A1 will prove itself to be a highly successful offering.
