“Innovation is the foundation for all of the products developed by SIG SAUER, and we are truly honored to be recognized in this forum by our peers,” began Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales, SIG SAUER, Inc. “With the P365, we fused together micro-compact sizing with full-size capacity – an industry first.
