The SIG P211-GT4 targets shooters who want a serious 2011-style pistol that actually makes sense for concealed carry.
With a non-compensated slide, low-profile magwell, and balanced steel frame make it easier to conceal than SIG’s competition-focused P211s.
All without giving up the accuracy, trigger quality, or recoil control shooters expect from a premium 2011.
Configuration and Core Features
The P211-GT4 uses a 4.2-inch target-crowned bull barrel paired with a carry-length SIG-LOC PRO optic-ready slide. The slide supports SIG-LOC PRO and DeltaPoint Pro–pattern optics, making it easy to run popular pistol dots without adapters.
The pistol uses a steel frame matched to an aluminum grip module with G10 grip panels. That combination keeps weight where it matters while maintaining a solid feel in the hand. Ambidextrous controls come standard, including the thumb safety and slide catch.
SIG fits the GT4 with a low-profile, removable steel magwell. It speeds reloads without adding unnecessary bulk, especially compared to the larger magwell found on the full-size GT5. This smaller magwell and the shorter barrel are about all that distinguish the GT4 from the GT5.
Handling and Shootability
On the range, the slide cycles smoothly and feels well-balanced for a steel gun. The flat, skeletonized trigger breaks cleanly at around 3.5 pounds, with minimal creep. Recoil stays flat and controllable, even without a compensator, thanks to the weight of the steel frame and bull barrel. I had no problem getting consistent hits on a silhouette at 50 yards.
The grip angle and texture feel familiar to shooters used to 2011s or P320-based competition guns. Controls are easy to reach from either side. The trigger also felt great and broke cleanly somewhere around 3.5lbs.
Magazines, Pricing, and Availability
The SIG SAUER P211-GT4 ships with two 21-round magazines and one 17-round magazine. It is also available with 10-round options for compliant states. Black and coyote finishes will be offered, along with optic-equipped variants.
MSRP lands around $2,300, placing it slightly below the GTO. Orders open during SHOT Show, with shipping expected shortly after. Stay tuned for a full review somewhere down the road!
