SIG-Sauer pistol

The SIG-Sauer pistol is an imported European pistol chambered in 14mm, though models chambered for different calibers are also available.

SIG-Sauer 14mm pistol


A large framed semi-automatic pistol, the SIG-Sauer 14mm handgun is unique in more than just looks. Unlike the tilting barrel system used by the vast majority of pistols, it relies on a fixed barrel without a slide. A weight underneath the front of the barrel absorbs the recoil, actuating a bolt which extends backwards above the shooter's hand, before being forced back by a recoil spring, feeding another round into the chamber. The 14mm pistol was imported to the U.S. from Europe in limited quantitites, making them a rare, but powerful weapon. As the availability of 14mm Euro ammunition decreased, existing and new units were converted to fire 12.7mm ammunition.

SIG-Sauer 12.7mm pistol


 The 12.7mm pistol is the same as the standard 14mm pistol, except rechambered to accept 12.7mm ammunition. The decrease in caliber also allows the magazine to hold one more round, for a total of seven.
