This German-produced Mastershop pistol features the X-Short 4.4-inch barrel configuration, delivering fast slide cycling while maintaining the full-size P226 grip for maximum magazine capacity. The stainless steel frame and slide wear a uniform matte silver/grey finish that resists glare and complements the black checkered synthetic grips.
Trijicon tritium/fiber-optic sights provide a bright orange-ring front blade and a fully adjustable rear notch, giving clear sight pictures in daylight or low light. Rear slide serrations offer solid purchase for press checks and manipulations.
The double-action/single-action trigger is tuned at the Mastershop for a smooth DA pull and a crisp SA break, aided by a spur-type hammer. An integral five-slot Picatinny rail on the dust cover supports lights or lasers without aftermarket adapters.
German CIP “N” and federal “DE” proof marks, along with the SIG SAUER INC. NEWINGTON-NH-USA importer stamp, confirm its export status. Holden-marked frame and matched serial numbers on slide, barrel, and frame underscore its authenticity and desirability among collectors, especially given the limited quantities imported to the United States.
