The new Sig P385, P211 Carry, and XRay5
The new Sig P385, P211 Carry, and XRay5

Begining in 2024 Sig realized there was less competition for attention, better control of attendance, and a deeper story to be told by launching new products at their own invite-only event where attendees get quality time with new products rather than a simple walk-by at a show booth. GBGuns attended NEXT in 2024 and it was an impressive event including factory tours, range time, and well-curated presentations.


For NEXT 2026 21 new products have been announced so far. Below is an introduction to some that I find particularly interesting. You can explore them all yourself HERE. As we've come to expect from Sig, MSRPs are not listed for firearm.

Sig P385 FULL

The Sig P385 Platform is a new modular fire control unit that does not appear to be the rumored "365 size that accepts 320 magazines". From what I've read it looks to possibly be an evolution of or possible replacement for the P320 family of handguns. At launch there are five P385 models listed: Compact, Carry, Comp, Full, and Mach-3D. As you'll see in the feature list, the P385 offers features previously not seen on P320s or P365s.

Copy from the product page:

"The P385-FULL brings the performance, accuracy, and innovation of the P385 platform into a full-size configuration built for maximum control and adaptability. Featuring the SIG Recoil Dampening System (SRDS) and an extremely low bore axis, the P385-FULL delivers a softer, flatter shooting experience with greater control.


At the center of the P385 is an all-new modular Fire Control Unit, developed specifically for the P385 platform and featuring a patented Trigger Block design. The innovative MagStrap grip system provides fast, easy customization of grip circumference and length, while ReActive grip texture delivers enhanced traction and confident control under pressure.


A 4.7" precision barrel, Nitron SIG-LOC PRO optic-ready slide, aggressive slide serrations, and fully ambidextrous controls complete a full-size platform engineered for range, personal defense, and duty use.


KEY FEATURES:


  • Nitron SIG-LOC PRO optic-ready slide with aggressive serrations and 4.7" precision barrel for extreme accuracy

  • All-new Modular Fire Control Unit with patented Trigger Block Design providing smooth and consistent trigger feel with crisp breaks and a tactile reset

  • SIG Recoil Dampening System (SRDS) integrated into the grip module reduces shock transferred to the shooter

  • Modular polymer grip module with the SIG SAUER reactive grip texture, including interchangeable “MagStraps,” allowing the user to modify grip circumference (S, M, L) and length from 17rd to 15rd flush

  • Laser-cut ReActive grip texturing delivers superior ergonomics and maximum contact and control

  • Fully ambidextrous controls

  • Compatible with SIG SAUER P320 magazines

  • Available with or without manual safety

  • Available in Coyote Brown

  • (1) 17rd and (1) 21rd or (2) 10rd steel magazines

  • Performance

  • Built with performance at its core, the P385 Full combines the SIG Recoil Dampening System, extremely low bore axis, and full-size configuration to deliver exceptional recoil control and a softer, flatter shooting experience.

Sig P211 Carry

Another highlight is a model of the P211 that I think we all expected, and Anna and I described when we reviewed the P211 GT4 RXSL. The P211 GT4 is a wonderful pistol, but 42oz is a bit heavy for carry. The new P211 Carry is the same gun, but with an aluminum frame instead of steel, and polymer grips instead of aluminum; dropping the total weight to 33.1oz w/ magazine. That puts the P211 Carry more in line with other double stack 1911s.

Copy from Product Page:

Introducing the P211-CARRY—engineered to deliver uncompromising performance in a lightweight, carry-ready configuration. Built on the proven P211 platform, the carry model features lightweight polymer grips paired with a durable aluminum frame, reducing overall weight while maintaining the accuracy, reliability, and shootability expected from SIG SAUER.


Designed for everyday carry, duty use, and demanding conditions, the P211-CARRY brings the performance of the P211 platform into a lighter, more mobile configuration without sacrificing the capability shooters depend on.


Key Features:

  • Lightweight polymer grip module with aluminum frame

  • Reduced weight for everyday carry applications

  • Built on the proven P211 platform with no performance sacrifice

  • Engineered for demanding conditions and extended use


THE P211 ADVANTAGE

The P211-CARRY is built to deliver the same extreme accuracy, reliability, and performance as the P211 platform in a lighter, more compact design. With zero compromises, it is engineered for everyday carry, extended wear, and consistent performance in the most demanding environments.


Sig XRAY5 Compact

The Sig XRAY 5 is an interesting new pistol optic with completely new technology. No moving parts, and multiple zero profiles that are controlled through a mobile application. This is true innovation and I'm curious to see if there's a market for it. We've proven multiple times on the channel that point of impact for handguns varies with ammunition just like it does with a rifle, but within handgun ranges does it really matter? The XRAY5 may be aimed at those who like to use chassis systems with their handguns for longer shots, assuming they've developed a load that retains effectiveness at distance.

Copy from product page:


The XRAY5™ Advanced Red Dot Sight redefines what shooters should expect from a pistol optic. Built on an innovative solid-state architecture featuring a rigid 225-dot matrix with no moving parts to wear or drift, the XRAY5 delivers unmatched durability and repeatable precision under the harshest conditions.

The patented Zero Distortion Optic (ZDO™) system delivers the industry’s clearest pistol optic sight picture to date, while intuitive Digital Zero technology allows shooters to establish, save, and instantly recall multiple zero profiles through the XRAY5 App. Combined with LightFight™ adaptive illumination, intelligent Round Counter functionality, and a fully enclosed optical system, the XRAY5 introduces an entirely new level of capability without compromising reliability.

Designed, developed, tested, and assembled in the USA, the XRAY5 is more than an evolution of the pistol optic; it is a new foundation for what a red dot sight can be.

Precision Built. Precision Kept.

Key Features:

  • Ruggedized Solid-State Construction with no moving parts

  • Patented Zero Distortion Optic (ZDO™) System

  • Digitally Zero with simple app-guided setup

  • Store and instantly recall multiple zero profiles

  • LightFight™ adaptive reticle illumination

  • Round Counter with reset function

  • Fully enclosed, argon-purged optical system

  • 7075 Aluminum housing with Grade 5 Titanium lens shield

  • Side-loading CR2032 battery with 10,000-hour runtime

  • MOTAC™ Motion Activated Illumination

  • Designed, developed, tested, and assembled in the USA

  • Fully backed by SIG SAUER’s Infinite Guarantee™

  • MSRP: $499.99

so, to follow in the footsteps of Joseph: Sig just announced.the P385 with a new Fire Control Unit, which accepts P320 mags, so, instead, if the FCU could drop into a P320 frame, Sig could call it the P355 Bastard... (320 + 385 = 705 / 2 = 355, rounded up)

You're lucky I've been doing some math lately (working on a project regarding ported pistols and how much pressure they have at which point on the barrel by caliber).

Somehow, I have a feeling that a lot of even SIG fanboys are going to "wait and see" on the P385, even though it appears to have a 'trigger safety' hinge on the trigger. And it would be wonderful if the P385 FCG could be a drop-in replacement for a P320, but I doubt it...
