SIG Sauer P211 GT4 & GT5—The Sports Cars of SAO Pistols?
In a world where shooters can’t get enough of 2011-style pistols, SIG introduced the P211-GT4 and GT5 this past SHOT.
They are the latest additions to the company’s lineage of hammer-fired pistols.
According to SIG Sauer: “The P211’s precision machining and reliability incorporate the timeless appeal and superior performance of SIG’s first double-stack 1911 pistol. The GT4 and GT5 variants deliver even more options for the serious pistol competitor, elite operator, or shooting enthusiast.”
The GT5 is the full-size frame, engineered to excel in both the heat of competition and in the gritty real world as a duty or self-defense applications. Its full-length slide and 5-inch bull barrel impart excellent recoil characteristics and expand the P211’s use in the shooting sports.
The GT4 combines the capacity and performance of a double-stack SAO pistol with the practicality of a 4-inch slide and low-profile magwell, making it the ideal choice for discreet concealed carry.
Each is similar to the 2011 platform in that they deliver a similar grip angle and SAO trigger experience, and allow for the integration of the Series 80 safety and P320 magazines, trading legacy parts-compatibility for modern reliability.
