SIG Sauer MPX Pistol to Ship in February, MPX-C Being Reworked

A semiautomatic variant of the SIG Sauer MPX submachine gun, the MPX Pistol, will begin shipping to commercial purchasers in February, according to the company’s public relations representative, Allen Forkner.

The MPX Pistol features an eight-inch barrel, aluminum handguard, and AR-style ambidextrous fire controls. All MPX-pattern firearms utilize a short-stroke gas piston system. The MPX Pistol will be available in 9x19mm, .40 S&W, and .357 SIG. Its retail price is set at $1,999.

The MPX was revealed at SHOT Show last year to much fanfare. The MPX-C, a carbine variant of the gun, featured a unique muzzle brake/baffle device that appeared to be suppressor- or SBR-ready. Forkner shared that the MPX-C is currently being redeveloped.

Select-fire variants of the MPX are available to military and law enforcement buyers.

I've been a history and gun enthusiast since I was a kid. I love to shoot just about anything, from silenced bolt-action .22s to fully automatic heavy machine guns, and I love even more when I get to write about them. My main interests are modern small arms and the military small arms of World War II and prior conflicts, with a particular focus on Russian and Finnish firearms. Reading about guns like the Mosin-Nagant rifle in books and on the internet got me interested in collecting, shooting, and writing about them, and I hope to do the same for others through my work.
