SIG SAUER Releases the Ultra-Compact MPX Copperhead

Newington, N.H. (January 7, 2018) – SIG SAUER, Inc.is pleased to announce the newest addition to the SIG SAUER MPX series, the ultra-compact MPX Copperhead.

“The MPX Copperhead considerably reduces the length, width, and size of the MPX platform making it the most compact addition to the MPX family of firearms,” said Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales, SIG SAUER, Inc. “The Copperhead is the perfect combination of the features and performance our consumers expect from a SIG MPX in a compact package.”

The MPX Copperhead features a monolithic Elite Series Cerakote® finish upper receiver, with an integrated stock knuckle lower, and a 3.5” barrel with integrated muzzle brake. The MPX Copperhead comes equipped with the new SIG SAUER Pivoting Contour Brace (PCB) giving pistol users a brace that easily adapts to the movement of the shooters arm with a patented swivel operation for perfect placement, and can be rapidly deployed.

I feel your pain.
I have almost ordered a
Sig Rattler three times now.

If it is as heavy as the Rattler it won't recoil hardly any at all.

It's also ugly... Looks like Fischer-Price made it...

Baby's First Assault Weapon, plastic bullets sold separately...

Doesnt seem like you can even attach a rail if you want to add a suppressor. Meh, pass.

No, this is just more attempts to cash in on the "tiny rifles" craze... It's a 9mm short barreled pistol with some crap stapled to it for almost 2 grand. Pass.

What I can't understand is why almost all the marketing images of the MPX Copperhead only show the left side of the pistol?? Some other things I don't particularly care for:

• 3.5" barrel
• One-position wrist brace thingy -- not adjustable whereas the regular MPX has 3-position adjustable brace -- but it also swivels which IMO may lead to instability in your grip/aim?
  
• No way to attach a light under barrel, although I suppose you could forego an optic and put one on the top? Original MPX has a keymod handguard.
  
• Muzzle brake/flash hider looks fragile, like it could get bent easily if banged against something
• 20 round magazine -- only 3 more than a much smaller G17 -- whereas the regular MPX has a 25 round mag

Some things I do like on it though are:

• Fully closed and locked rotating bolt
• Short stroke gas piston
• 4.5 pounds

I think I'll pass as well, I'd much rather have the original MPX.
