Established in 1980, the Warrior Foundation provides support for families of American Special Operations personnel who have lost their lives in service to our country, primarily through scholarships, which guarantee that all of the children of these fallen heroes will be able to attend college. SIGARMS will be making the donation at the 2004 NRA Convention in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.

“Every SIGARMS employee is aware that our pistol is carried into battle by Navy SEALs. It is a great source of pride knowing that when it counts these elite warriors count on the to-hell-and-back reliability of the SIG SAUER P226. That is why we have committed up to $100,000 to help the families of these fallen heroes and are asking our customers to consider purchasing this very special pistol,” said Jim Pledger, SIGARMS Vice President for Law Enforcement and military sales.

The P226-9-NAVY is made to the exact specifications of the pistols supplied to Navy SEALs including special corrosion-resistant finish on internal parts, contrast sights, slides engraved with an anchor to designate them as Naval Special Warfare pistols and a certificate of authenticity. For commercial sales the pistol will come with two 10-round magazines. These limited production P226-9-Navy pistols will also carry a special unique “NSW” serial number starting with NSW0001.

SIGARMS worked closely with Warrior Foundation and Special Tactical Services, Inc. (STS), based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, to put this unique fundraising program together. As part of the promotion, SIGARMS and STS will be sponsoring a special contest to being in mid-February. No purchase will be necessary and a special contest entry form will be available from SIGARMS. Eight individuals will be randomly selected to win an all-expense-paid trip to Virginia Beach, where they will be treated to a private tour of the Naval Special Warfare training center and receive personal hands-on training in the use of their pistols from combat veteran Navy SEALs.
