Essentially a compact version of the P226, the P228 has a even better grip
shape, and is just as reliable and accurate as its larger brother. In 1994 the
P228 did what its larger brother failed to do, namely, it was adopted by the US
army. It is issued to officers and soldiers with small hands, most notably
female soldiers who have some trouble with the rather larger grip of the Beretta
M92. As with all SIG guns there is a decocking lever on the left side of the
frame.
The P228 is only available in 9 mm, and has a thirteen round
magazine.
