Michigan State Police Upgrades Their Standard Firearms
SIG SAUER, Inc. has exciting news regarding the transition of the Michigan State Police to advanced firearms. The agency has officially adopted the SIG SAUER P320/M18 pistol equipped with a SIG ROMEO-M17 optic and the FOXTROT2R light as their primary handgun, along with the SIG SAUER P365 as their secondary weapon.
Commitment to Excellence in Firearm Selection
Tom Jankiewicz, Executive Vice President of Law Enforcement Sales for SIG SAUER, expressed immense pride in the agency's decision. "We are honored to see Michigan State Police choose SIG SAUER as their primary and secondary sidearm," he stated. He further emphasized that their rigorous testing process was essential in selecting the most suitable pistols.
The Versatile SIG M18 as Primary Sidearm
The SIG M18 pistol, which gained recognition as part of the Modular Handgun System Program initiated by the U.S. Army, is also a trusted variant utilized by the United States Marines Corps. With this selection, the P320/M18 will now serve as the primary sidearm, providing unmatched reliability and performance for the officers.
The SIG ROMEO-M17 red dot optic is not only military-grade but also carries an NSN number, attesting to its durability. Designed to withstand the demands faced by professional users, this optic is a vital addition to the firearm system. Moreover, the FOXTROT2R weapon-mounted white light enhances tactical capabilities, forming an exceptional handgun solution for the dedicated officers of the Michigan State Police.
The P365 as a Trusty Backup
Complementing the P320/M18 is the SIG P365, regarded as a high-capacity micro-compact handgun. This model offers significant advantages, such as enhanced capacity, concealability, and operational capability over other compact firearms available today. Its ergonomic design mirrors the performance of a full-sized pistol while maintaining easy concealment, making it an ideal secondary firearm for the officers.
