Additional Sand Viper Info
Our Taran Tactical Sand Viper collection highlights one of the flattest-shooting 2011s on the planet. Designed as an “ultimate 2-Gun/3-Gun pistol,” it pairs a large single-port compensator with an ultra-low RMR/SRO optic cut so your point of aim tracks naturally from 5 to 50 yards. The Coyote Bronze DLC finish, tuned fire-control parts, extended controls, and TTI magwell round out a race-ready package that has already notched an overall USPSA 2-Gun Nationals win. Cross-shopping the Pit Viper? Functionally they’re siblings—go Sand Viper if you want the optic-ready cut and bronze finish; go Pit Viper if you prefer iron sights and the black JW4 aesthetic. Either way you’re choosing a limited-run, hand-tuned 2011 with top-tier performance. Gunprime specializes in hard-to-find inventory and updates listings daily. When a Sand Viper hits the shelf, you can secure it quickly with smooth checkout, fast shipping to your preferred FFL, and responsive support from a team that knows premium 2011s.

Both are elite TTI 2011s; the Sand Viper adds an optic cut and wears a Coyote Bronze finish, while the Pit Viper is iron-sight black/JW4-spec. Pick based on optic preference and look.

It’s purpose-built for competition and training; with proper ammo and practice it can serve for defense, but its compensated, optic-driven setup shines on the range. (Know your local laws.)
Laws vary and some states restrict magazine capacity or features. Confirm local regulations and arrange transfer through a compliant FFL before purchasing.
Quality factory 9mm in 115–147 gr typically runs great; many shooters favor 124–147 gr for the flattest dot movement. Test your specific loads in your gun.
