SIG SAUER is now shipping the updated P225 pistol. Called the P225-A1, the new handgun looks like the original, but has been upgraded with a short reset trigger and takes advantage of modern manufacturing techniques.

The pistol is a single stack 9mm handgun that holds 8 rounds in the magazine. With an empty magazine, the gun weighs a little more than 30 ounces.

Unlike the original P225, the new -A1 model has a fully machined slide. The slide is Nitron finished while the frame is hard coat anodized. Grips are two piece G10 panels – not the one piece design found on some modern SIG pistols – and have a SIG emblem in the center.

The suggested retail price is $1,122. If you want the factory night sights, the MSRP bumps up to $1,236.
