Development of the SIG P220, aka the Swiss P75 Army Pistol
This video explores the developmental history of the SIG P220, also known as the Swiss P75 Army Pistol. The P220 was developed in the 1960s by SIG as a more cost-effective alternative to the expensive SIG 210 (P49) for the Swiss military. It features design departures from the P49, including a folded sheet metal slide and an alloy frame instead of all-milled construction. The video showcases early prototypes, a first production Army P75, a late production model with simplified features, and a Z-series border patrol variant with a unique magazine release shield, offering a comprehensive look at its evolution.
