#Canebrake

As Editor In Chief of The Firearm Blog – the best gun resource in the universe* – I’ve had to transition from an operational role to more of an administrative role when it comes to reviews. And because we have such a talented staff with a wide breadth of knowledge and experience, my new position is just as fulfilling. However, I don’t get as much time behind the barrel as I once did, and I am forced to stick to my passions. For me, those are silencers and ultra compact weapon platforms. Combining those two loves is the SIG Sauer MCX rifle and pistol platform – a system I believe is in many ways superior to the widely regarded AR-15.

During the initial review of the SIG Rattler Canebrake, I ended up liking the firearm more than I initially thought I would.  As I mentioned at the conclusion of the original review, I liked it enough that I decided to buy it, and then take things a step further.  

Multiple variants of SIG’s widely successful MCX Rattler were brought to this year’s SHOT Show.  SIG seems keen to show off the versatility of the Ratter platform. Of the new Rattlers, one particular variant caught my eye, the Rattler Canebrake.  Featuring a new oversized rail with a faux suppressor tucked underneath, the Canebrake looks like a proper “SD” style firearm.  SIG even took it a step further, making the weight and size of the faux suppressor roughly the same as their SRD762 suppressor.  All of this is done perfectly to make the rattler both suppressor and end-user friendly.

Arriving in the mail for review today was SIG Sauer MCX Rattler Canebrake.  Thanks to SIG’s fantastic customer service team, I was able to get this gun promptly and I can’t thank them enough.  Now, let’s take a closer look at the newest addition to the MCX lineup.

The SIG MCX family keeps growing, and the MCX Rattler Canebrake is the newest addition.

In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the new SIG Sauer products that were displayed at the company’s booth during the SHOT Show 2019 exhibition. Probably the coolest firearm in their booth was the new .338 Norma Magnum medium machine gun placed inside a glass display case right in the middle of the company’s booth. But let’s come down to earth and talk about the firearms that we can actually own. Here is a photo report of new SIG Sauer firearms seen at SHOT Show.
