Overview & Design Highlights

• Hybrid 2011‑style/Double-stack configuration
  The P211‑GTO draws inspiration from 2011-style pistols (a modern 1911 platform), featuring a stainless steel frame with a full-length dust cover and machined accessory rail, coupled with an aluminum alloy grip module outfitted with removable G10 grip panels—delivering high-capacity capability in a traditional 1911 aesthetics package.An Official Journal Of The NRAGunBroker.com

• Innovative Mach3D compensator
  Equipped with a 3D‑printed Mach3D compensator atop a 4.4‑inch bull barrel, this design reduces muzzle rise and felt recoil by approximately 30%, enabling faster follow-up shots and smoother handling.An Official Journal Of The NRAAn NRA Shooting Sports JournalFrag Out! Magazine

• Straight-pull flat skeletonized trigger

• High-capacity, widely compatible magazines
  The P211‑GTO uses SIG’s P320-style magazines—each pistol includes one 23-round magazine and two 21-round steel magazines by default. Capacity-restricted variants (e.g., 10-round) are also available.An Official Journal Of The NRAAn NRA Shooting Sports Journal

• Robust safety and optic-ready features
  Safety systems include a grip safety, ambidextrous thumb safeties, and an internal firing pin block, supporting safe cocked-and-locked operation. The slide is cut for optics using SIG‑LOC PRO footprint, and models with a factory‑installed Romeo‑X optic also feature SIG XRAY3 sights.An Official Journal Of The NRAAn NRA Shooting Sports Journal
