NEWINGTON, N.H., (July 23, 2024) – SIG SAUER, Inc. congratulates Team SIG professional shooter Daniel Horner on a historic win at the 2024 USPSA Multi-Gun Nationals. After successfully defending his championship title, Horner remains the only competitor in USPSA history to hold the national Modified Division title and is the first competitor ever to earn a national competition title win with an MCX-SPEAR LT rifle.

“At the beginning of 2024, Daniel set his sights on the IPSC World Shoot this August. He could have easily taken his M400-DH3, that he’s won multiple championships with, given it a tune-up and started training – that was the easy button,” began Robby Johnson, Chief Marketing Officer, SIG SAUER, Inc. “However, Daniel’s plan was to use this opportunity to demonstrate to the world, on the biggest stage, the versatility of the MCX-SPEAR product line.  On his quest, Daniel has activated so many elements of SIG SAUER with the one constant being his persistence to prove the capability beyond the battlefield.”

At the 2024 USPSA Multi-Gun National Championship, Horner defended his title through eight field courses and four speed shoots using an MCX-SPEAR LT Rifle with a TANGO6T riflescope, a P320-DH3 pistol with a ROMEO-X optic, and SIG SAUER Match Elite competition ammunition.

“Winning this year felt great, and not just to put another national championship under my belt- it was the result of six months of hard work with the engineers developing the MCX platform from the ultimate battle rifle into the ultimate competition rifle. I have shot many thousands of rounds through the MCX platforms that have been selected for SOCOM while I’m teaching classes, so I was very familiar with the design and the operation but tuning it to be able to win at the highest level (including the long-range portion of the nationals) was something that hadn’t been done before. What happened at Multi-Gun Nationals is the result of a bunch of people at the absolute top of what they do coming together and making great things happen,” commented Daniel Horner, Team SIG professional shooter.

The MCX-SPEAR LT was developed for an exclusive special operations military program that has since been adopted and fielded throughout the world. Additionally, in 2022, the SIG SAUER MCX-SPEAR was selected by the U.S. Army for the Next Generation Squad Weapons (NGSW) program, bringing an entirely new level of performance, reliability, and capability to the soldiers.

The 2024 USPSA Multi-Gun Nationals was held at the Forest Lakes Sportsman’s Club in Forest Lake, Minnesota, July 19 – 21, 2024. Horner will compete next at the International Practical Shooting Competition (IPSC) beginning August 4, 2024, at Ruutikangas Shooting Center in Liminka, Finland.
