Check out Sig Sauer’s P226 X5 Black and White pistol. Chambered in 9mm, the Black and White is very similar to existing Equinox models but it features the custom wood grips, 5″ barrel, Custom Shop production, and is SAO.
See this model’s specs and pricing in our store.
There have been a lot of great new additions to Sig Sauer’s line for 2012 and with all the cool new guns, it is no surprise that some magazines have been overlooked.
The two new high capacity magazines are:
With the introduction of the new pistol Adaptive Carbine Platform, higher capacity magazines are going to be heavily demanded.
I’ve got some poor quality photos of the new Sig SP2022 20rd magazine at the bottom of this post but I have nothing for the P226 mag.
We have no idea when these magazines will be available (or what the selling price will be) but we’ll post more info as it becomes available.
Check out Sig’s SIG716 Patrol in Flat Dark Earth as well as Olive Drab below.
We posted detailed photos and a short video of the SIG716 in black a few weeks ago. Photos below come from Sig Sauer.

Sig Sauer has been rolling out quite a few new models for 2012 and they all seem to be huge hits!
The 1911 Desert (1911-45-DESERT) is very simiar to the 1911 XO but in a tan finish.
This new 1911 has a custom two tone desert tan finish on the frame and slide, FDE ERGO XT grips, and low profile sights.
MSRP on the Desert is $1,070.
Below is Sig Sauer’s SIG516 AK, chambered in 7.62×39.
Part number is R516-16B-P-RUS
Sig Sauer has introduced two 516 pistols – a 10″ and a 7.5″.
The barrels on both pistols have a 1 in 7″ twist. The 10″ version weighs 6lb and the 7.5″ version weighs 5.5lb. Overall length on the 10″ model is 25.5″ and the 7.5″ model is 23″.
The part number for the 7.5″ model is P516-7B and the 10″ is P516-10B.

Sig Sauer slipped a few surprises in the bag for SHOT Show this year. We have already known for over a month about the majority of new models but today we found out that Sig is releasing 4 1911’s chambered in .357 Sig.
The four models being released are below. The part numbers are NOT confirmed yet but speculated below.
Later today I’ll try to post photos and additional details here. Part numbers will also be confirmed / updated. Availability and ship dates have not been confirmed – to date we have yet to see a .40 or 9mm 1911 even though they were released last year at SHOT Show. Hopefully we don’t have to wait a full year+ for these!
Update 1-18-2012 – the Tacops and Stainless (Carry) are both Traditional models. That info was not initially provided to me. Info above fixed.
As SHOT Show gets started, we’re trying to publish as much about new models as we can. We’ll be posting photos from the floor of SHOT and we’re trying to preempt those with some of the content we have available.
Sig Sauer has updated the very popular M400 line of rifles with a number of new models.
The M400 line of rifles all have a direct impingement gas system, ambidextrous mag release, and quick-detachable ambi-sling mounts. The Enhanced models all feature Magpul MOE stocks, PMAG magazines, Magpul MOE grip, and Magpul hand guards.
See a larger copy of these models below:
One of Sig Sauer’s newest 1911’s, introduced for 2012, is the 1911 Max – named after Max Michel.
The 1911 Max has a flat solid trigger, fiber optic front sight and adjustable target rear sights, custom Hogue G-10 grips with Max Logo and Dawson ICE Magwell, and a natural stainless slide and frame.
The pistol has a Koenig Speed Hammer, and will be offered in a .45 ACP 8rd model as well as a .40 S&W 9rd model.
The 1911 Max part number is 1911-45-MAXM – MSRP is $1,713.

Official Sig Sauer Press Release:
EXETER, NH (January 2012) —SIG SAUER Team Captain Max Michel, Jr., has brought his winning ways and experience to work with SIG engineers in the development of the 1911 Max, a race-inspired pistol built to his unique specifications.
Built by the SIG SAUER Custom Shop, the 1911 Max is a single-stack, 5′′ all-steel pistol with all the custom features that a world-class shooter requires.
“We’re proud to be associated with a competitor of Max’s skill and character,” Bud Fini, Vice President of Marketing. “He also brings years of elite-level match experience, which is incorporated in this pistol.”
A Nitron-finished stainless slide features forward cocking serrations, on top of a natural stainless frame with 26LPI checkering on the front strap. Max’s “MM” logo is laser-engraved on the slide and machined into the Hogue® custom G-10 “Chainlink” grips, which offer a very aggressive, non-slip surface to the shooter.
“I’m pretty particular about what goes into my guns,” Michel said. “In my world, a broken part or a malfunction could end my shot at a world title. I wouldn’t put my name on a gun unless I was certain it would measure up to my standards.”
Built to Michel’s specifications, the 1911 Max has a host of custom features, including SIG SAUER flat trigger, external extractor, a Dawson® Ice Magwell®, a Koenig® Speed Hammer® and EGW® sear and firing pin. Fiber optic front and adjustable rear sights also provide high-speed visibility. The 1911 Max will be available in .45ACP and .40S&W.
Below is information on Sig Sauer’s various new short barrel rifles (SBR). Short barrel rifles are NFA restricted and must transferred through a class 3 dealer. These rifles are not legal in all states.
The photos below come from Sig Sauer. Some are watermarked to prevent hot-linking.
Two models of the 551-A1 SBR will be available – the Classic (R551A1- and SWAT. I do not yet have photos of the SWAT but should soon. The classic is below.
Below is Sig Sauer’s press release for the new SBR program:
SIG SAUER® Launches Factory Short-Barreled Rifle Program
Manufacturer-tuned SBRs offer increased reliability, function
EXETER, NH (January 2012) — To meet the increasing interest in short-barreled rifles, SIG SAUER has introduced a line of factory-built SBRs for the consumer market.
“Interest in short-barreled rifles has never been greater,” said Jeff Creamer, SIG SAUER Director of Product Management. “What used to be primarily a military or law enforcement configuration is now being sought by the consumer market.”
As barrel and gas system length is reduced, reliable function can be compromised. Purchasing a factory- built SBR designed from the ground up and fine-tuned to be a short-barreled system greatly increases reliability and function.
SIG SAUER has previously offered complete short-barreled upper receivers for their SIG516® rifles, but this is the first time complete rifles are to be offered in SBR configurations.
Preferred by entry teams and CQB specialists for greater maneuverability in tight places, SBRs deliver significant ballistic performance over pistol-caliber weapons. With the growth of the suppressor market, SBRs have also seen increased interest from those who want a suppressed rifle without introducing additional length.
The Factory SBR Program will offer shortened variants of all SIG SAUER semi-automatic rifles, from the .22LR SIG522TM to the 7.62 NATO SIG716®. Each platform will have a SBR-tuned gas system to ensure maximum performance and reliability.
SBRs are available in Classic, Patrol and SWAT configurations, giving the user a wide variety of options. All NFA rules do apply; so please see your Class III firearms dealer for ordering information.
