There is a list of specific SKUs but it’s basically the entire P365 catalogue of the Sig Armed Professional Program (their Blue Label equivalent). The guns need to have the “W” at the front of the SKU denoting they were Sig APP guns but they can be sourced from anywhere. I’ve bought a gun from Proven Outfitters but there’s an Sig APP dealer in my city that I might contact when I decide to buy a Macro. I’m not even sure if an individual could order directly from Sig if they wanted to.

That's a fair point. Probably the better question is, are the guns the same as the ones a regular Joe picks up at a Cabelas or do they have better sourced parts and better qa/qc, etc.?
A few years back, a friend of mine invited me to the gun show and a subsequent lunch with one of the guys who worked at Altoona and I ***think*** worked on the original acquisition (could be wrong). He was a cool guy and definitely liked the company. Mr. Cohen this. Mr. Cohen that. Very respectful and formal...nothing bad to say. But when I asked him something similar to the above question he just smiled and that was that.
Per the Sig website, the SIG Professional Program (I guess they’ve changed the name) is available to the qualified individuals listed below, with approved purchaser ID:
-Active-duty military with an active-duty identification
-Retired military with retired military credentials
-Honorably discharged veterans (requires DD214 or Veteran designation on state-issued ID)
-Active reservists with military identification
-Active national guard with military identification
-Corrections officer (including parole and probation officers)
-Sworn law enforcement officers (including federal, state, and county)
-Retired law enforcement officers with “retired” credentials
-Active or retired law enforcement with official agency credentials
-Court officers with official agency credentials or official documentation
-State / County / City Coroners with official agency credentials or official documentation
-Full time first responders with current credentials or official documentation
-EMT’s, Firefighters, Volunteer Firefighters, and Paramedics.
That covers a large number of potential purchasers. As to whether the “W” SKU guns have better QC or use parts from different vendors than the normal commercial guns, I haven’t a clue.
