At its premier event SIG NEXT, SIG SAUER unveiled a new era of performance with the P385 pistol
NEWINGTON, N.H., Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SIG SAUER, an industry-leading manufacturer of cutting-edge firearms, electro-optics, ammunition, and advanced concepts, introduced today the all-new P385 pistol. Unveiled at the premier SIG NEXT event, the SIG SAUER P385 delivers a dramatically reduced felt recoil for a softer, flatter, and faster shooting experience and provides maximum modularity with its innovative new fire control unit (FCU).
"SIG NEXT brings together many of our top partners at one of our premier events of the year," said Robby Johnson, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, SIG SAUER. "It's an opportunity to not only showcase our latest innovation in firearms and electro-optics but also our latest technologies in R&D, Engineering, and Advanced Manufacturing and provide a behind-the-scenes look into SIG SAUER."
SIG SAUER P385
Built with performance at its core, the P385 features the new SIG Recoil Dampening System, a low bore axis, and a precision cut carbon steel barrel for extreme accuracy. As a result, muzzle rise is reduced by 20 percent or more, depending on the specific P385 model. Along with its new FCU, the P385 includes a new SIG SAUER Trigger Block for a smooth, clean trigger press and pairs with the new MAGSTRAP grip module for easy customization both in grip length and hand size.
"The all-new SIG SAUER P385 was developed from the ground-up," said Eric McKenzie, Director of Commercial Product Management, SIG SAUER. "We're driven to innovate, and the P385 delivers a new era of performance, accuracy, and innovation with several new features."
Available in black and coyote brown, all models of the new striker fired pistol are SIG-LOC optic-ready, feature fully ambidextrous controls, and have an optional manual thumb safety. The P385 will be available in stores this fall and early winter with the lineup including the P385-MACH3D, P385-COMP, P385-FULL, P385-CARRY, and P385-COMPACT.
SIG NEXT
SIG NEXT is an innovation showcase and immersive brand experience. More than a product launch, SIG NEXT is an invitation-only event that includes the SIG SAUER Manufacturing Experience and Tour, product presentations, and hands-on range time at the SIG SAUER Academy shooting the latest products. Attendees include top customers and media partners.
During SIG NEXT, SIG SAUER unveiled an expansion to its successful P211, which now includes the P211-FULL and P211-CARRY. The two new P211 pistols feature a polymer grip module and aluminum frame and are built off the highly sought after SIG SAUER P211-GTO, GT5, and GT4 that initially launched last year at SIG NEXT.
Expanding the SIG SAUER optics lineup, SIG SAUER introduced the XRAY5, a category-defining 1x24MM optic that sets a new standard for durability, clarity, and intelligence. The Advanced Red Dot Sight is built on a solid-state architecture with a 225-dot rigid matrix with no moving parts to wear or drift and automatically responds to variable lighting conditions. Shooters can digitally zero in seconds with the XRAY5 mobile app, and the XRAY5 stores multiple profiles.
