​SIG Sauer P6 9mm Pistol – Made in Germany – German Police Surplus

SIG Sauer P6 9mm Pistol – Made in Germany – German Police Surplus

Overview

The SIG Sauer P6 is a historically significant service pistol, developed as a specialized variant of the SIG Sauer P225 to meet the requirements of West German police agencies in the mid-1970s. Renowned for its reliability, accuracy, and practical size, the P6 served as a standard-issue duty pistol for decades and earned a lasting reputation as one of SIG Sauer’s most successful service designs.

This example is in good used condition, featuring a clean bore and normal signs of honest service wear consistent with a police-issued firearm. There is a slight plum patina forming on the front of the slide and the hammer.

Historical Background

Originally developed for European law enforcement trials alongside submissions from H&K and Walther, the SIG Sauer P6 quickly distinguished itself for overall performance and value. Its innovative design allowed for lower manufacturing costs without compromising durability or accuracy, enabling widespread adoption across multiple West German states.

The P6 remained in active police service from the early 1970s through the early 2000s. When surplus pistols began entering the U.S. market, American shooters and collectors quickly recognized their quality. Today, original P6 pistols are increasingly difficult to source, particularly in well-maintained condition.
