The Sig Sauer M400 Tread pistol delivers reliable performance in a compact 11.5-inch barrel configuration, engineered for tactical applications and sporting use. This 5.56 NATO platform combines proven direct impingement operation with modern manufacturing standards. Built on Sig Sauer's established AR-15 pattern design, it offers familiar controls with enhanced reliability features.
What Makes This Different
The M400 Tread features a chrome-lined barrel with a hard coat anodized finish that resists corrosion better than standard phosphate coatings. The free-floating M-LOK handguard provides multiple attachment points while maintaining barrel harmonics. Unlike entry-level AR pistols, this model includes a flat-top upper receiver machined to military specifications with proper headspace tolerances.
Key Features
- 11.5-inch chrome-lined barrel with 1:7 twist rate for stabilizing heavy bullets
- Free-floating M-LOK handguard with full-length Picatinny top rail
- Optic-ready flat-top receiver accepts standard scope mounts and red dots
- 30-round Magpul PMAG included with textured polymer grip
- Single-stage trigger with 6-7 pound pull weight
- Hard coat anodized finish rated for 500+ hours salt spray resistance
- Standard AR-15 magazine compatibility and mil-spec buffer tube
Field testing shows consistent 2-3 MOA accuracy with quality ammunition, suitable for close-quarters applications and medium-range precision work. The 11.5-inch barrel length balances velocity retention with maneuverability in confined spaces. Gas system timing accommodates both 55-grain and 77-grain projectiles without adjustment. The M-LOK mounting system supports accessories like lights, grips, and bipods without additional rail sections.
