The Sig Sauer MCX Spear‑LT IR is a compact semi‑automatic AR‑pattern pistol built for tactical, range, and personal defense roles where a short, maneuverable platform is required. It pairs an 11.5″ cold hammer‑forged barrel with Sig’s gas‑piston operating system and a folding pistol brace for compact transport and storage. The Gen II NiR FDE (Coyote) Cerakote provides a reduced IR signature finish and corrosion resistance for field use.
