What Is The Sig Sauer MPX Copperhead?

So, how did the Copperhead come to be? There are a few theories surrounding this weapon.

One is that it was custom designed from customer input looking for a lower-cost version of Sig’s MPX. And a version that had more features, but didn’t lose the MPX’s closed rotating bolt design.

Another is that the Copperhead was created specifically for the US Army and its Sub Compact Weapon program. Whether that’s entirely true or not is speculation, but the Copperhead has already received numerous government contracts since its debut at the 2019 SHOT Show in Las Vegas.

Sig Sauer MPX Copperhead Review-Our Takes

At first glance, the MPX Copperhead is a beautifully designed weapon. It really is a head-turner with its sleek, yet simple profile and custom Cerakote finish. But don’t let its simplicity fool you. The Copperhead is packed full of awesome and useful features.

SIG continues its trend of putting its customers and clients first with their MPX standard ambidextrous controls.

This may seem trivial, but using controls that are natural to your body make all the difference–especially in a high-action scenario. We wish that some of these ambi-controls were on our Sig MCX Rattler (ahem…Sig).

Although the Copperhead has been swapped to a monolithic upper, that doesn’t mean that you can’t use your fair share of attachments. The Copperhead ships with a full-length Picatinny rail (as requested by the US Army) making sure that you can utilize any sights or optics devices you choose. There’s also a three-slot Picatinny on the rear of the weapon allowing for the use of various sling or stock attachments. And that can definitely come in handy.

One of the nicest features to come with the Copperhead is the collapsable brace integrated into the receiver. The SIG PCB (Pivoting Contour Brace) allows the shooter to really get down on the sights and maneuver around to a better target.

At first, we really weren’t sure about the pivoting brace. Up until now, pistol braces were fixed (as far as the rotation goes) and we weren’t sure if the new rotating brace would be a benefit or a hindrance. According to Sig, the pivoting stock adjusts to your arm position so you can take full advantage of Sig Sauer MPX Copperhead-Pistol Gun Universitysights/optic on the Copperhead.

Sig is right. If you’ve ever used a standard pistol brace as it was intended (most people don’t), you’ve likely noticed that the pistol is canted so much that it makes aiming awkward. Sig’s new rotating brace fixes this and allows for aiming without having to fully straighten nor lock your arm.

Now, let’s talk about that barrel. The Sig Sauer MPX Copperhead comes standard with a 3 1/2 inch barrel. This is yet another tactic employed by Sig to maintain peak deployability.

But there’s one thing about it that I’m not so keen on the barrel’s flash-hider is permanent with no threads. That means no suppressor or barrel attachments.

This is my only real gripe with the MPX Copperhead. One of the main reasons for a sub-calibered “not-a-rifle” is to be able to shoot with a silencer. If you agree, then the standard Sig MPX might be for you. Or… you can swap the barrel with any other MPX barrel to get the threads you desire

Although I don’t like it, I do understand where Sig was going with this. The permanent flash hider cuts down on cost and weight while keeping the overall length small enough to fit into a backpack (which would not be possible with a silencer attached).

But how about the weapon as a whole? How does it stand up to serious use?

When it boils down to it… The Copperhead proves itself more than capable. The Copperhead is a BLAST to shoot and if you’re looking for the smallest 9mm carbine that is also professional-grade, the Sig Copperhead may be for you.

One final note, I’m a bigger guy (with an even bigger head) and the extremely small size of the Copperhead made it a little difficult to shoot well. I prefer the standard MPX, but that’s only because I’m not looking for the smallest package. If you are, the Copperhead is for you.
