Rifles

SIG M400 Varminter

The SIG M400 Varminter is a new hunting rifle using the AR15/modern sporting rifle platform. Â Designed for precision, long range taking of varmints, this M400 is chambered in 5.56 and has a variety of options and features that will be appreciated by many hunters.

First off, the M400 Varminter uses a 22″ match grade, heavy barrel. Â The fluted barrel is stainless steel and has a 1:9″ twist, which is fine for stabilizing lighter weight bullets frequently used for varmints. Â While a 1:8″ twist is better for heavier bullets, it is literally fast enough to spin apart some lightweight, compressed metal bullets.

Handguns

SIG P290 Rainbow

The SIG P290 Rainbow is another in a series of multi-chromatic pistols introduced by the company over the pastÂ severalÂ years. Â While some people hate the look, there are a lot of people who really like it.

At this year’s SHOT Show, SIG Sauer showed the latest of these color changing handguns, and I have to say it looks a lot better in person that it does in photos. Â I’m not sure I would ever buy one, but they are eye-catching.

Handguns

SIG P238 Tribal

The SIG P238 Tribal is just one of the new variations of existing guns that SIG Sauer showed at the SHOT Show this year. Generally, the company will roll out several variations of their popular guns at the show, with some of them becoming permanent additions to the line, while others become limited runs. The P238 line has seen quite a few variations during the past few years.

The P238 Tribal is little different from the standard pistol in function and size. The gun is still a single-action, subcompact handgun chambered for the .380 ACP cartridge. It has a 2.7″ barrel length and weighs only 15.2 ounces (unloaded and without a magazine.)

SIG 1911 Spartan

THIS IS SPARTA…or at least a 1911 commemorating the ancient Greek nation-state. Â The SIG 1911 Spartan is a special edition, full-size 1911 with a great looking finish. Â While I am sure this gun will shoot, this is an awesome bar-b-que gun.

The finish is an oil-rubbed bronze Nitron finish, while the engraved “Molon Labe” on the slide is 24k gold inlayed. Â Controls and other accents are black. Â The grips are Hogue Spartan grips.

As one would expect, the 1911 Spartan is chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge. Â Both the hammer and the trigger are skeletonized. Â The pistol comes with a single magazine. Â Both the frame and the slide are made of stainless steel.
