“The SIG Sauer M400 Pro is becoming the choice of police departments across the country for their special tactical operations,” Tom Jankiewicz, Executive Vice President, Law Enforcement Sales, SIG Sauer, Inc., explained. “It is designed to exceed military standards with features that are most requested by law enforcement agencies, is engineered to be the most accurate and reliable rifle in its class, and can be quickly and easily deployed in extraordinary enforcement situations.”
The SIG Sauer M400 Pro is an assault rifle (AR)-platform rifle with a direct impingement gas operating system. The M400 features a full-length free-float M-LOK hand guard, enhanced SIG trigger 6 position telescoping stock, and a rotating lock bolt.
