“ By giving traditional values a technological edge, SIGARMS redefines firearms excellence every day. The name alone speaks volumes. For military and law enforcement professionals, including the U.S. Navy SEALS and Federal agents, it means having a distinct advantage. To the hunter, it means a thrilling moment of truth replayed, recounted, and repeated for many, many years. For the private citizen seeking the security of a strong defense, it means an unparalleled measure of attention to safety. And for the target shooter, it simply means winning. The key to SIGARMS' superiority is that we concentrate on function. By thinking carefully about what a firearm is intended to do, the nature of the person using it, and the circumstances in which it must operate, we establish a clear set of functional objectives. We then engineer a firearm to exceed the demands of its intended task. There is an old saying that "form follows function." Nowhere is that better illustrated than in the awesome array of SIGARMS pistols, sporting arms and tactical weapons - firearms that distinguish themselves in every arena throughout the world. And while a SIGARMS firearm may not be the least expensive, it will reward you many times over with its quality and its performance, regardless of the circumstances. "

" George Washington ordered the creation of Springfield Armory in 1777 to store revolutionary ammunition and gun carriages. In 1794, the Armory began the manufacture of muskets for a young country. For the next 150 years, Springfield Armory functioned as a supplier for every major American conflict as well as a "think tank" for new firearms concepts. In 1968, citing budgetary concerns, the U.S. Government closed the Armory. The walls of the Springfield Armory would house historians, paying homage to the past rather than those with an eye to the future...until 1974, when a passionate family by the name of Reese would rescue not only the name "Springfield Armory," but the philosophy that drove it for centuries. With reverence for the legacy of the Armory, the Reese family resurrected the most historically significant designs produced by the Armory - the M1 Garand, the 1911, the M14. And fueled by the same obsession for improved manufacturing techniques and cutting edge design that inspired the likes of John C. Garand, they've continued to develop products that are loyal to Springfield's heritage while ensuring the Armory's place in the progression of American firearms."
