SIG Sauer’s newly unveiled P385 pistol is expected to make its international debut at the Land Forces International Land Defence Exposition 2026 with Australian defence company and distributor Aquaterro next week.
The new P385 pistol, unveiled at a SIG NEXT event in the US, is scheduled to make its appearance beside SIG Sauer’s new M8 carbine at the Land Forces Expo in Perth from 6 October to 8 October.
“The new SIG P385 will make its international debut on the Aquaterro stand (5L16-Hall 1) at Land Forces in Perth next week, along with the full suite of the latest SIG Sauer weapon systems, including the new M8 carbine,” said Aquaterro founder and managing director Graeme Bulte, speaking with Defence Connect.
“The P385 will provide a modern capability for Australia’s uniformed professionals, incorporating features and functionality ideally suited to contemporary law enforcement requirements.
“Its use of the common P320 magazine also delivers significant in-country support and logistics advantages, leveraging the established F9 (P320) platform already in service with the Australian Defence Force.
“Together with Aquaterro’s recently signed Department of Defence contract for the supply, support and service of all SIG technologies, the P385 will be backed by a dependable, long-term, Australian-based sovereign sustainment capability.”
The Australian Defence Force currently uses SIG Sauer P320 sidearms (F9), selected under LAND 159 and distributed by the Melbourne-based Aquaterro. The SIG P320 pistols were selected under LAND 159 Tranche 1 to replace Browning Hi-Power Mk III 9mm pistol in use with the ADF since the 1960s.
