I believe it has the proof marks marks on it that Daniel is referring to in the quote below. That's why I asked the question.Īlthough it really doesn't matter to me it would be nice to know where it was made. I have a 228 that I believe was made in Germany but doesn't say it anywhere on it. something like 'without using Made in Germany as an indicator' Cause Nick nailed the answer!Īctually, quite a few German made SigSAUERS have 'Made in W Germany' on them.īut I think there are some Sigs that were made in Germany that don't say so on the pistol. XDrox, you should've worded your last sentence better. SigSAUER early on realized they'd sell more pistols here if they incoporated the American style magazine release.Īnother example is the P08 Luger, no heel release there.

Where the magazine release is located just tells you when it was made, it's not an indication of place of origin. Sig-Arms is the IMPORTER, if they have serial numbers on the frame only, that indicates it's either made in America or assembled here.Įuropean standards for firearms requires that pistols made there have the serial numbers on slide, barrel AND frame. And SIGARMS had just moved to EXETER then. 20 years ago, they were just importing them. Wrong SIGSAUER USA only started making pistols domestically with the introduction of the machined slided models (way less that 20 years ago). US made.Īll German pistols do not have Mag buttons for release. On the other side it states Sig-Arms Inc. On my slide it has 2 marking on both sides. I have SIG 220 I bought the same time and it is with conventional mag button. If it was bought 20 years ago that is US made.
