Diamondback is Back!
Sig Sauer is unveiling their new Adaptive Carbine Platform at SHOT Show. It provides three advantages. It will accept virtually any pistol with a Mil Std 1913 rail without modification, it offers the increased stability of shooting a carbine and it expands the pistol’s adaptability by incorporating 1913 rails at the 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions as well as a full-length rail along the top of the weapon.
It is offered in three models:
Basic Adaptive Carbine Platform (I think the name is going to be an issue, since it’s still just a pistol at this point)
ACP – Enhanced Platform with Red Dot Sight and Sling
ACP – LE Platform with Stock
As you can see from the photo and video they have integrated a handstop into the design to help protect those wandering fingers. Additionally, the ACP LE accepts a wire stock and features a single sling attachment point on the Enhanced and LE models.
To me, the most interesting thing about the ACP is that although it is marketed by Sig Sauer, it accepts virtually any pistol with a 1913 rail, regardless of make. I’m sure you will find some that don’t fit but the point of the exercise isn’t to find some obscure gun that nobody carries so you can say, “Told you so.” Of course, the ACP with stock will make your pistol an NFA gun, so it isn’t for everybody but I could see its use as a PDW with LE and security contractors in certain situations. And for those who can own one, it looks like a lot of fun.
Be sure to check it out at booth #12240.
