Sig Sauer is the largest member of the German entrepreneur-owned arms group, J.P. Germany's Sauer & Sohn and Blaser, and Switzerland's Swiss Arms. SIG stands for Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft or Swiss Industrial.
Only in firearms chambered for it. SIG comes to mind, but, there are others.
History and good reputation.
As a company, SIG Sauer does not have a population. If you are referring to the number of employees, there are over 2,300 employees worldwide. If you mean the number of firearms produced or sold, SIG Sauer is one of the largest gun manufacturers in the world, but specific population figures are not publicly available.
Start with the yellow pages under firearms.
Unlike other firearms makers, there are hardly any books that timeline SIG model introduction. The only book I know of was done in 2004 by Gun Digest and Mas Ayoob.. The ST has been around at least since then. Best bet is to call SIG

If you mean what does the acronym "SIG" stand for, it means "Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft," which is German for "Swiss Industrial Company."
It depends on what you mean. There is no requirement to register firearms in the U.S.
SIGforum's logo is "Quality Firearms, Quality Discussion." Here you can discuss with other gun enthusiasts about interests, safety, products, weapons legislature, or anything else you may have on your mind. This site is not associated with SIGARMS but gives you the opportunity to discuss SIG's and other pistols.

It depends on what you mean. In the U.S. most police agencies issue standard firearms to officers. In other words, if a local agency issues Sig 229 pistols to its officers, it the exact same Sig 229 that any person can go into a gunshop and purchase. There are some exceptions though. Some special duty officers such as SWAT team members, may have machine guns. A regular citizen cannot buy a new machine gun, but can buy machine guns manufactured before a certain date, but it's a long process.
SIG on the watch means "Hourly Time Signal".
