SIG Sauer P385 family
SIG Sauer announced the P385 family in late September 2026. Reports from guns.com, The Firearm Blog and Soldier Systems, published on September 23 and 24, describe a modular, striker-fired 9mm sold in five versions: the P385-COMPACT, P385-CARRY, P385-FULL, P385-COMP and P385-MACH3D. The COMPACT has a four-inch barrel and a flush-fit 15-round magazine, giving 15 rounds plus one in the chamber. The grip is a configurable module, and the new fire control unit includes what SIG calls a trigger block. Colors are black or coyote brown, and Reports mention 10-round state-compliant versions, so check with SIG or your dealer. The reports point to fall or early winter 2026 for availability.
No official price has been released. One outlet gives a starting figure of around $599, but SIG has not confirmed that number, so treat it as a reported figure only.

Choosing a compact 9mm
Fit, grip size, sight picture and the amount of time you spend shooting each month matter more than any single spec sheet. Handle a pistol before you buy, and compare the magazine capacity, the trigger feel and the weight with your own carry setup. This is product information, not legal advice. Carry rules depend on where you live, so check the current requirements that apply to you.
When you are ready to order, we ship firearms to a local licensed dealer, who completes the Form 4473 and the background check with you.
