In 1988 SIG introduced the P228. The P228 was SIG’s answer to a shorter more compact P220/P226 model pistol. This pistol was revolutionary for its time and was a big leap forward for SIG. In many ways it is the successor to the P225 pistol since it gave the user a compact option with a larger magazine capacity.

When the United Stated military adopted SIG’s P228 it was designated the M11. The USA still has some M11s in service and the P228 is still in service for many military and police forces throughout the world. At one point the FBI was even using the P228 pistol.  Of those who are replacing the M11 SIG has now pushed to replace these units with the M18 variant of the P320. The P228 was only produced in 9x19mm and can use 15 & 20 round P226 magazines. The P228 was eventually phased out on the civilian market due to the 9mm variant of the P229 which was seen as an upgrade to the 228 because the slide would be milled from stainless steel versus the 228’s more traditional folded carbon steel slide. The P229 also had two more caliber options which were popular at the time (.40 S&W and .357 SIG)
