A Brief History
The 2022 started out life as the P2340 in 1999. At the time; Glock’s polymer framed striker-fired pistols were cutting into Sig’s share in the military and law enforcement world. Polymer guns were still tough, but lighter-weight and cheaper to produce. Sig’s answer was a 40 caliber pistol targeting law enforcement, using a polymer frame while retaining the aforementioned familiar operation of their older, trusted platforms. This was a conservative design but one that landed in time, as the French were looking for a new police pistol. The 2022 won the contract in 2002, the largest pistol contract since the end of World War II. 400,000 units were ordered with an expected service life of twenty years and replacement, hence the name 2022. Some military and law enforcement adoptions followed, but since then the 2022 has played a very underrated role; not just in Sig’s line up, but in the rise of budget-oriented fighting pistols
