SIG Sauer MCX Virtus Pistol Review
SIG Sauer MCX Virtus Pistol Review
SIG Sauer’s Virtus in .300 AAC Blackout is a modular and functional pistol! This platform is designed to be mission specific by SIG, and it accomplishes it perfectly.

After running it around the range with a few hundred rounds and zero malfunctions, we were definitely impressed with the SIG Sauer Virtus. It lives up to it’s Latin name of “Power”. Check out our thoughts on the pistol.
