Overview

The SIG Sauer P228 is a compact version of the P226, chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum. It was developed as a smaller carry alternative for military and law enforcement users who needed a more concealable sidearm. The P228 features a reduced slide length and a shorter grip frame compared to the P226. It retains the same double-action/single-action trigger system and decocking lever. The pistol became the standard sidearm of the United States military under the designation M11.
