Sig P211

When I reviewed the Sig 1911-X Emperor Scorpion I was very impressed with the fit, finish, quality, and shooting experience of the gun as well as the modernization and tuning done to what is already a century-old design. With all that Sig does, the question of course arose as to when Sig would release a double stack design. At Sig NEXT 2025 (See 2024 NEXT coverage HERE) which I was unable to attend, the P211 was announced.

This biggest thing setting the P211 apart from other double stack 1911s is the use of the Sig P320 magazine. This means magazines will cost less and be more available than the standard "2011" magazine, and unlike the Glock-magazine models won't have an awkward grip angle conversion. Additionally, though I have yet to touch a P211, I imagine this also will make for a smaller grip cricumferance than a typical double stack 1911 as P320 magazines were designed for 9mm from the beginning and so are smaller, requiring less stock to fit than "2011" magazines.

In keeping with the finest traditions of Sig's website no MSRP is listed yet, nor is a projected availability date. What we do have are some specifications and a couple of photos for now. With luck GBGuns will have a full review for you once the P211 is available. Images and specifications courtesy of Sig.

At its core, the P211-GTO is built for speed and precision. Its innovative compensator design uses some of the most advanced manufacturing techniques in the industry, capable of delivering unprecedented reductions in recoil, and the P211 has been engineered to use the reliable P320 magazine, made with unmatched precision and quality.

“Engineered to deliver unmatched speed and flawless reliability, the SIG SAUER P211-GTO elevates the shooting experience.” said Robby Johnson, Chief Marketing Officer. “It sets a new benchmark for shooters who demand nothing short of exceptional.
