Brit Special Forces

That'll be my grandads front bedroom :P has now turned into my armoury :)

 
Just to clear up, the Sig is only used by the US Seals to my knowledge, out of US forces anyway...

Aside from that it's a Swiss design and we also use them in the army. Though, I think only our higher ranking officials carry any side arm at all.

It's also used by the Columbian police.

The US use the Beretta M9, because Sig wouldn't let them set up a factory in the US, which turned the yanks off and as a result they cost too much for them to issue one to everyone.

So they went for the M9 because it's cheaper and there are US based factories.

Even though Sigs are better in every way and waayyy sexier imo lol.
