SIG Sauer P385: Models, Specifications, and Availability
The SIG Sauer P385 is a new 9mm striker-fired pistol family announced on September 22, 2026. It is a separate platform from the P365. This guide compares the five announced models and explains which specifications still need clarification. We have not independently tested these pistols.
P385 release date and availability
As of October 16, 2026, SIG lists all five P385 models as coming soon. Its launch announcement projects retail availability in fall and early winter; that is a release window, not confirmation of dealer inventory. Check the official P385 lineup for changes.
SIG P385 models compared
| Model | Configuration | Barrel information |
|---|---|---|
| P385-Compact | Compact grip | Description says 4 inches; specification table conflicts |
| P385-Carry | Carry configuration | 4 inches |
| P385-Full | Full-size configuration | 4.7 inches |
| P385-Comp | Integrated slide compensator | 4 inches |
| P385-MACH3D | MACH3D configuration | Description and specification table conflict |
Specification caution: The Compact and MACH3D product pages contain conflicting measurements. We have left disputed dimensions and weights out rather than treating either set of numbers as final.
P385-Carry
The Carry page consistently lists a 4-inch barrel. For the base 385CA-9-BXR3 configuration, SIG lists 7.22 inches in overall length, 5.64 inches in height, 1.32 inches in width, and 28.94 ounces with a magazine. Official P385-Carry specifications.
P385-Compact
The Compact is the compact-grip member of the lineup. SIG’s description lists a 4-inch barrel, but its specification table lists a different length and other inconsistent measurements. Confirm final specifications before relying on size comparisons. Official P385-Compact specifications.
P385-Full
The Full has a listed 4.7-inch barrel and 7.92-inch overall length. The base 385F-9-BXR3 configuration is listed at 5.64 inches tall, 1.32 inches wide, and 29.6 ounces with a magazine. Official P385-Full specifications.
P385-Comp
The Comp combines a listed 4-inch barrel with an integrated slide compensator. SIG lists the base 385F-9-COMP configuration at 7.9 inches long, 5.64 inches tall, 1.32 inches wide, and 29.12 ounces with a magazine. Those are manufacturer measurements. Official P385-Comp specifications.
P385-MACH3D
The MACH3D is a separately named P385 configuration. Its product description and specification table disagree on barrel length, and other table entries appear inconsistent. We are withholding exact dimensions and weight until SIG clarifies the page. Official P385-MACH3D specifications.
What is new about the P385?
SIG describes a new fire-control unit, its Striker Release Disconnect System (SRDS), Trigger Block, and Magstrap grip system. The lineup also includes ambidextrous controls and SIG-LOC PRO optic mounting. These are announced features; manufacturer performance claims should not be read as results from our own testing.
P385 vs. P365: separate pistol families
The P385 is not a new P365 variant. SIG describes limited parts compatibility and specifically says the P385 does not fit P320 or P365 holsters. Do not assume accessories transfer between platforms. For the smaller P365 family and its variants, see our P365 models comparison.
What still needs independent verification?
Final specifications for the conflicting product pages, actual retail availability, and hands-on reliability and comfort remain open questions. This is an announcement-based comparison, not a range review or a purchase recommendation. We will distinguish confirmed specifications from unresolved details as the launch develops.
