SIG Sauer P226X Compact 9mm Pistol, Optic-Ready 3.8-inch

The SIG Sauer P226X Compact 9mm Pistol (SIG Sauer part no. 226XCA-9-RXSL) shortens the X-Series platform down to a 3.8-inch barrel, giving shooters the same optic-ready, competition-derived features of the full-size P226X in a more concealable package. Chambered in 9mm and holding 18 rounds, this compact X-Series carries a serrated slide cut for direct red dot mounting along with SIG’s proven DA/SA trigger. It strikes a balance between the shootability of a full-size pistol and the discretion of a compact carry gun.
