That is an important detail before we talk about overall size. With a 5.5 inch barrel, the Rattler is capable of firing in any mode from it\u2019s folded stock configuration, with an overall length of just 16 inches. 16 inches is small enough to fit inside most briefcases, and absolutely microscopic for something that fires rifle rounds.<\/p>\n<p>The action is the same piston driven success that drives the other MCX models, which our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/sig-sauer-mcx-virtus-long-term-endurance-test-part-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"small-teeth-big-bite-the-sig-mcx-rattler-shot-show-2018\" title=\"SIG's New SBR \u2014The MCX Rattler! - SHOT Show 2018\">testing has shown<\/a> to be incredibly reliable. The grip and stock options on the Rattler are unique, a reflection of its intended use. The pistol grip looks abnormal, due to a cut designed to reduce snagging on bags or straps. It still fills the hand nicely though, and I was very surprised by how comfortable it was to shoot.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_85419\" style=\"width: 808px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/gastatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/SIGRattler.png\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"small-teeth-big-bite-the-sig-mcx-rattler-shot-show-2018\" title=\"SIG's New SBR \u2014The MCX Rattler! - SHOT Show 2018\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-85419\" title=\"SIG's New SBR \u2014The MCX Rattler! - SHOT Show 2018\" class=\"size-full wp-image-85419\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/SIGRattler.png\" alt=\"SIG's New SBR \u2014The MCX Rattler! - SHOT Show 2018\" width=\"798\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/SIGRattler.png 798w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/SIGRattler-150x94.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/SIGRattler-400x250.png 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/SIGRattler-768x480.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 798px) 100vw, 798px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-85419\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Prices of the pistol and SBR version.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/meet-sig-rattler-mcx\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"small-teeth-big-bite-the-sig-mcx-rattler-shot-show-2018\" title=\"SIG's New SBR \u2014The MCX Rattler! - SHOT Show 2018\">Meet the Shortest Rifle Ever Produced, the SIG MCX Rattler<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"SIG's New SBR \u2014The MCX Rattler! - SHOT Show 2018\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-85706\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-23-at-4.14.45-PM-1024x617.png\" alt=\"SIG's New SBR \u2014The MCX Rattler! - SHOT Show 2018\" width=\"1024\" height=\"617\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-23-at-4.14.45-PM-1024x617.png 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-23-at-4.14.45-PM-150x90.png 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-23-at-4.14.45-PM-400x241.png 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-23-at-4.14.45-PM-768x462.png 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Screen-Shot-2018-01-23-at-4.14.45-PM.png 1840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>Though we got to play with the rifle version, a pistol with brace is available for us mere mortals that don\u2019t want to pay the tax stamp for an SBR.
