Greetings SIG fans,

I've stumbled across a genuine SIG P75 for sale here in Australia.

Do many of the genuine SIG P75s make it out of Switzerland for sale elsewhere?

This is pretty damn unusual to find one here - your US gun shops are probably overflowing with them !

No, they are rare in the States.

Those holsters haven't been so easy to find here either, at least on their own.

I had no idea that any pistol like this would be available in Australia. Secure it if you can.

I had never heard of a P75. Looks similar to a P225.

The grips probably fooled you. The trigger guard is all P226.

Wait! I thought a P75 was a 9mm P220, no?

And yeah, I'd snatch that up if it was me...

Scratch that, all 9mm P220!

I like the pic in the OP of the gun without that tapering and humps at the top of the slide.

Congrats Lenny-looks like it has a lanyard ring too...cheers!

I'm opposite..the contours give the pistol character.

First I've ever heard of one before. Pretty cool.

Just to catch everyone up, the P75 was developed in 9mm for the Swiss army. The retail version was identified as the P220. The frame in the OPs photo is a standard P220 frame.
I’ve always been partial to the early P220s and the P75s remain a grail gun. Great to see one pop up down under!

It will cost me about USD$1000.

Is it worth it?

If you are one of the few collectors of Swiss Army pistols in Australia, probably.
If you want a shooter and like the idea of a 9mm P220 but can get the commercial version for less, buy the commercial version. It´s the same gun but with different markings.

+1. The 9mm P75 (P220) predated the more familiar .45 auto version. Other available calibers in those early years included 7.65mm (.30 Luger), 9mm Steyr and .38 Super.

Have to say yes. The gun and its holster are in fine condition. Curious if by chance they were marked P75? Also, welcome backies lenny.. . We usually only see you maybe at Christmas.

lenny P-75 not at all common in USA. $1,000 is an excellent price, in USA P-75 sell for $1500+. Buy.

Hi - yes I am one of the few collectors of Swiss pistols in Australia - maybe even the only one foolish enough to do so !

I have a minty 06/24 Parabellum, mint P49 from the first KTA, 6 other P210s - unfired 210-4, unfired 210-6, unfired 210-5, 2 x 210-2, another 210-5, a P226 X5, and a P226R Nitron .22. There's also the 5 x SIG-Hammerli P240s - 2 x 38 ( 1 unfired), 2 x 32 (1 unfired) 1, x .22, and a few P240 conversion units. Also an engraved Hammerli 208, unfired, and a Hammerli 232 Olympic Rapid Fire pistol It's been awhile since I posted a SIG family picture but will do so in the next weeks or so.

Hi David, thanks for the welcome back, but I've never left ! Usually trawl through SIGForum posts every other week or so, and always leave feeling inadequate after seeing the latest additions to Bac1023 collection !

I've decided I'm going to, even though it's not the best time for another firearms purchase. In the last 2 weeks I have bought - the new 2021 Colt Anaconda 44 Mag, a Chiappa Spencer Carbine 45 Long Colt, a Uberti 1860 Yellowboy 38 Special, a Uberti SAA with 7.5 in barrel.45 Long Colt, a pristine 1917 made Colt Officers Match Target in .32 and a Cimarron Wyatt Earp edition 10 inch barrel .45 Long Colt.

As you can see, I've been busy !
