27 Oct 2025

To commemorate the 250th Anniversary of the United States Marines, SIG SAUER proudly collaborated with Tactical Gear Distributors’ support to create a truly special tribute—the limited-edition 250th Anniversary Pistol.

Inspired by a shared commitment to excellence, craftsmanship, and service, the concept for this commemorative firearm was born from a desire to honor the Marines remarkable legacy and the men and women who have served throughout its history. Working closely with our distributor partner Tactical Gear Distributors, SIG SAUER developed a premium collector’s package that embodies tradition, precision, and pride.

Only 250 exclusive pistol packages have been produced, each featuring a beautifully finished pistol, a custom challenge coin, a high-polish wood presentation case, and a personalized certificate of authenticity—making it a true collector’s piece.

SIG SAUER is honored to support the release of this historic package and will join our partner Tactical Gear Distributors at special in-store events celebrating the 250th Anniversary of the Marines. Together, we are proud to commemorate this milestone and pay tribute to those who defend our nation. www.sigsauer.com
