SIGM400,TREAD V2,5.56,RIFLE,11.5IN,30RD

Last year, SIG Sauer introduced the TREAD version of their M400 AR-15, and anyone paying attention to industry trends could have predicted their next move. SIG has now introduced a pistol version of the TREAD.

In a flat sales market, the one segment of ARs that continues to do well is AR pistols. Their increased utility pertains to the law enforcement (LE) side as well. Before we dive into the reasons why your department should look at AR pistols instead of rifles, let’s look at the specs of the TREAD pistol.

SIG sells all sorts of ARs. Their most expensive model is the MCX Virtus, which is a piston-driven gun that has all sorts of bells and whistles. It is also expensive and rather heavy. They also have their M400 direct gas-impingement AR. These rifles offer a few upgrades over standard Mil-Spec rifles but have been priced somewhat higher than basic “economy” AR-15s.
