handguns advice and India - Where are we ?

Hand guns and pistols and even air soft guns is something that we are not allowed to own in India. In fact getting a firearms license is not an easy thing and generally all folks who get those licenses are either very well connected politically or they in fact bribe the license officials to get one.

I got interested in firearms when one of my friends wanted to go for his handgun license for his protection. I and him searched all over the internet to find some really good information about the firearms and I got to know a lot.

Well the fact is that part from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIG_P226) there are some really good and interesting sites. I was hoping to find and Indian site from where we can buy as well as get some good feedback on various handguns. But none so far in my search. We Indians are not comfortable buying over the internet so that was given that I would find an Indian handgun site. To possibility of getting cheated is always there in India!.

Now back to what I saying regarding hand guns and rifles. The most famous brand it seems is the Sig brand with their signature series. Sig Sauer which sells the SIG brand handguns in USA is the representative of the Schweizerische Industrie Gesellschaft (SIG) which is the Swiss/German manufacturing firm.

The various handguns that they have are the SIG P210, SIG P220 and SIG P238 Series.
In fact the SIG P 226 series is also adopted by the US Military. What does the Indian police have ? I am not sure . I know that they bought AK-47 but that was long ago and they fall in a very different category. They are not handguns.
SIG P220 is known as the best .45mm double action pistol.

For hunting the SIG has the SIG SHR 970 which is called the Swiss Hunting rifle.
If you want to know all about SIG parts and how to procure them at a lower price then go to discount Sig Sauer parts.
