🔧 Built for Precision and Control
The Sig P226 X-Short has a compact slide with unique cycling dynamics. While that shorter profile increases speed, it also makes recoil management more important. The DPM system uses a multi-spring design that stages recoil force, reducing felt impact and improving return-to-battery time.
This gives you flatter shooting, less wear on your slide and frame, and tighter control — whether you’re on the range, in a match, or carrying it for tactical use.
