NEWINGTON, N.H., (June 15, 2026) \u2013\u00a0In celebration of the United States Army\u2019s 250th anniversary, SIG SAUER, an industry-leading manufacturer of cutting-edge firearms, optics, and ammunition, presented the Secretary of the Army and the Sergeant Major of the Army with commemorative SIG SAUER M17 pistols.<\/p>\n

The attendees at the June 10 ceremony, held at the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., included:<\/p>\n

Secretary of the Army Daniel P. Driscoll<\/p>\n

Sergeant Major of the Army Michael R. Weimer<\/p>\n

SIG SAUER SVP and Chief Government Affairs Officer Bobby Cox<\/p>\n

SIG SAUER Defense Strategies Group Director of Strategic Accounts Phil Aufiero<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is one of our highest honors to design, build, and deliver our products for the United States Army,\u201d said Bobby Cox of SIG SAUER and a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel. \u201cFor more than 250 years, the United States Army has defended our nation and land. It is important to come together and take a moment to show our gratitude to the servicemen and women who wear the uniform and protect us, and that was the focus of the ceremony at the Pentagon.\u201d<\/p>\n

June 14 is the anniversary of the Army\u2019s creation, with last year marking the historic 250th milestone. The United States Army 250th Anniversary Commemorative Edition of the SIG SAUER M17, the official sidearm of America\u2019s armed forces, was designed and manufactured with a strictly limited small batch production, making it a rare and highly collectible tribute to U.S. military service. The commemorative pistol is chambered in 9mm and features a 4.7-inch barrel within a full-size frame, delivering exceptional balance, shootability, and reliability whether it is displayed as a collector\u2019s piece or fired on the range. A similar model is carried at the Tomb of the Unknown Solider at Arlington National Cemetery.<\/p>\n

A distinguishing feature is its high polish DLC-coated stainless steel slide with high polish gold controls and a mirror-like finish. The slide assembly, which denotes \u201cEst. 1775\u201d in remembrance of the Army\u2019s creation, adheres to the Modular Handgun System specifications and incorporates a single-screw removable rear night sight plate, providing seamless compatibility with modern optics.<\/p>\n
