Design and Key Features

The SIG SAUER M400 TREAD V2 upgrades the platform with an enhanced handguard that offers increased M-LOK slots for accessory mounting and improved barrel cooling. The minimalist approach keeps weight low while delivering more real estate for lights, lasers, and grips. The mid-length gas system paired with a 16-inch, lightweight profile barrel delivers a smoother recoil impulse and better gas timing than carbine-length systems on similar barreled rifles.

Barrel, Twist Rate, and Trigger

The 16-inch barrel with a 1:8 twist rate provides broad compatibility with a wide range of 5.56 loads — from lighter training rounds to heavier match bullets — making it a versatile choice for shooters focused on both accuracy and terminal performance. The SIG Matchlite 2-stage trigger enhances shot control and follow-up precision, giving shooters a predictable break and quick reset for practical drills.

Included Package and Practical Value

The TACPAC package includes a Romeo MSR II red dot sight and a foregrip, along with a Savior Equipment Specialist series rifle case and three 30-round Magpul PMAG magazines. That out-of-the-box readiness is ideal for someone who wants a functional kit without hunting for components. At a listed price of $1,206.99, this configuration represents a competitive value for a factory package that includes optics, magazines, and a protective case. View product details and pricing.

Tactical Applications and Handling

For defensive use, training, or general-purpose range work, the M400 TREAD V2’s mid-length system reduces felt recoil and cyclic harshness, improving controllability during rapid strings. The expanded M-LOK handguard allows users to tailor the platform to mission-specific configurations without excess bulk. Sig Sauer’s reputation for dependable manufacturing and component quality makes this model a logical choice for users wanting a reputable brand foundation.
