Further links to SIG P220 on this website: SIG P220 of the Swiss Army (Pistol 75, P75) SIG P220 of the Swiss Customs and Border Guard (Pistol 75, P75) SIG P220, police and private versions   The pistol 75 (civilian designation SIG P220) was introduced in the Swiss Army in 1975 as the 9mm pistol 75 (9mm Pist 75) and replaced the Pistol Mod. 49 (SIG P210) (9mm pistol 1949, 9mm Pist 49, P49 or SIG P210).   The P75 was also introduced into Swiss customs (border guard): Pistole 75 und 75/95 Zoll (SIG P220)   The Pistole 75 is a semi-automatic pistol (recoil-operated) in 9mm Luger (Parabellum) caliber. The weapon has a double action trigger (cocking trigger), but can also be used with a single action trigger (pressure point trigger). It has a firing pin safety. The cocked hammer can be safely decocked using the decocking lever.   There are two Army models; the first series with a pressed slide (trough at the top of the slide, Picture) and 19 fine grooves on the slide (Picture) and the second series with a milled slide and 12 coarse grooves on the slide (Picture). The slides of the first series did not prove to be durable and there was damage after intensive use of the weapons.   The weapon is disassembled by locking the slide in the rear position and moving the disassembly lever. The slide can then be (carefully) slid forward and separated from the grip frame.   The following faults due to incorrect assembly are known: - The grip panel screws have washers which prevent the screws from obstructing the magazine. If these are missing, the magazine can no longer be inserted and removed cleanly. - The firearm may not load properly if the spring is incorrectly positioned on the spring guide rod. The spring must be pushed on so that it is pushed onto the spring guide rod with the narrow part first. Often the wider part, which is easier to push on, is pushed on.   For a few years now, new, more stable magazines have been supplied with army weapons. These are manufactured in Italy and have a stainless look.   The Pistole 75 (SIG P220) is still the standard handgun of the Swiss Army. The Pistole 03 (SIG Pro SP2009, 9mm Pistole 03 or 9mm Pist 03), which has a double-row magazine and a rail (proprietary, Picatinny only with adapter) for accessories, was partially introduced for the professional military.   According to the advertising text in the Swiss Arms price list from 2009, "around 140,000" Pistole 75 (SIG P220) were delivered to the Swiss Army. According to market observation by swisswaffen.com, the highest serial number delivered is approx. A1165697, which corresponds to 116,967 weapons delivered.   The holsters of the Pistole 75 (SIG P220) are made of leather; up to and including 1982 in green leather, from 1983 in black leather. The holsters were later modified so that they could be worn on the new combat suit.
