The .223\/5.56 chambered pistol comes standard with fully ambidextrous controls, including an ambi safety selector, changing handle, magazine release button, and bolt release. This is unusual for a factory AR-15 (especially the ambi bolt release), and it could set a new standard for high-end AR\u2019s moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ambidextrous controls allow lefty shooters to work with the Switchblade out of the box, and competition shooters will have an edge on stages that require both right- and left-handed shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"709\" title=\"First Shots with Sig\u2019s New Large-Format Pistol, the Switchblade (PA Range Day 2021)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/sig-3-1024x709.jpg\" alt=\"First Shots with Sig\u2019s New Large-Format Pistol, the Switchblade (PA Range Day 2021)\" class=\"wp-image-150775\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/sig-3-1024x709.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/sig-3-400x277.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/sig-3-150x104.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/sig-3-768x531.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/sig-3-1536x1063.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/sig-3.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><em>All controls are fully ambidextrous out of the box.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We didn\u2019t have a chance to shoot the Switchblade in competition, but we did get to field test an SBR-ed Switchblade fitted with Sig\u2019s new SLX suppressor (be looking for coverage of the SLX next week!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That setup is sweet. Along with the fully ambi controls, the Switchblade comes standard with a 2-stage Matchlite Duo flat-faced trigger and a nicely textured pistol grip. The trigger\u2019s crisp 5-pound break let us keep shots on target, and the grip\u2019s more vertical presentation was perfect for a shorter length of pull. After just a short time shooting the Switchblade, it\u2019s easy to see how it would be ideal for competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Switchblade ships with a Magpul BSL brace, so if you don\u2019t want to register it as an SBR, you can still shoot the pistol one-handed. The simple, blade-style brace is designed to rest on the inside of the shooter\u2019s forearm, which removes the potential problems from straps and fins of other brace designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Switchblade also comes with all the features and finishes you\u2019d expect from a $1,400 rifle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"441\" title=\"First Shots with Sig\u2019s New Large-Format Pistol, the Switchblade (PA Range Day 2021)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/M400-SWITCHBLADE-HERO-LEFT-1024x441.jpeg\" alt=\"First Shots with Sig\u2019s New Large-Format Pistol, the Switchblade (PA Range Day 2021)\" class=\"wp-image-150777\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/M400-SWITCHBLADE-HERO-LEFT-1024x441.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/M400-SWITCHBLADE-HERO-LEFT-400x172.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/M400-SWITCHBLADE-HERO-LEFT-150x65.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/M400-SWITCHBLADE-HERO-LEFT-768x330.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/M400-SWITCHBLADE-HERO-LEFT-1536x661.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/M400-SWITCHBLADE-HERO-LEFT.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The receivers and handguard are Cerakote Titanium finished for added durability and an attractive silver-gray look. The barrel is cold hammer forged from stainless steel, measures 11.5 inches, and uses a tapered profile. The handguard comes with M-Lok slots on three sides and a full-length picatinny rail on the top. The model we tested was outfitted with a Sig SLX suppressor, but the standard pistol ships with a three-pronged flash hider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Could you build a competition AR-15 and save a little cheddar? Maybe. But Sig\u2019s new large-format pistol is ready to go out of the box, and it\u2019s practically begging to be registered as a short-barreled rifle. Our only regret is that we didn\u2019t have as much time to shoot it as we wanted at this year\u2019s Primary Arms Range Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a
