P320 9mm Sizes - AR15.COM

Site Notices

Posted: 1/23/2015 12:39:06 AM EDT

I'm thinking about getting a 9mm P320 Carry. Their website lists the same specs for Carry and Compact except the grip height and mag capacity. Carry is 5.5" height with 17 round capacity and Compact is 5.3" height with 15 round capacity. Does .2" really make up for two rounds? It looks like most sights are mixing compact and carry as the same thing and listing as 15 round for either. Is one of them new on the Sig site and most websites are just mixing it up or am I missing something? I want to get the Carry and change the grip frame for a subcompact (available for the p250 which from what I am reading will work with the P320)

SIG recently changed their P320 nomenclature, it's now:
Fullsize = fullsize frame, fullsize slide
Carry = fullsize frame, compact slide (used to be compact frame, compact slide)
Compact = compact frame, compact slide
Subcompact = subcompact frame, subcompact slide.

Sounds like a number of sites are confused about the current names. If you go w/the Compact, you can use its 15rd mags w/a subcompact frame by using X-Grip adapters.

Interesting. Thanks for clarifying that Tomac. Sounds like there may be some folks buying/ordering online that may not get what exactly they expected though.

Thanks for the clarification. So the carry is a full size frame? According to their site, the frame looks smaller than full size, actually it appears to be the same as the compact except that the grip is .2" longer and holds 2 more rounds.

I would surmise the front of the Carry frame has been bobbed to fit the compact slide but still retain the fullsize height & 17rd mag (when I had my P250's, my fav hybrid was a bobbed compact frame w/a subcompact slide).

Makes sense. I think I want to go with the Carry and get the subcompact P250 frame for concealment.

I'm having a hard time finding anywhere that has the carry even. All the sites (that I can think of) lists 15 round capacity regardless of whether they call it the carry or compact. They all seem to use both terms interchangeably. Is the carry even released or available?

Found this link on model numbers for the P320, very helpful.

Unless I'm missing it, they don't list specific model numbers for each configuration for the P320. If I'm wrong, show us where....

As far as i can tell, the 320 is only on the evolution site. It took me three tries to get how cool the page is for the 320. But! for detailed info it sucks. Can't tell if different grip panels come with the gun and the sig store doesn't have them either. Not ready to buy right now anyway as I would like to hold the different grip sizes.

Here you go.

Sig Sauer P320 Product Page

ETA: Click the model you want (Full-size or Carry) and then click the "Specification" tab. Model numbers are in the first field.

That's outdated information, sig has changed the lineup and now includes full size, carry, compact, and subcompact. I don't believe that page is even on the sig site anymore unless you open it through a Google search. When you click on the P320 model through the sig site homepage, it brings you to the evolution site with the most current lineup.

So what's the best Glock 19 sized alternative? The Carry or compact?

Is the P320 set up like Glocks in the sense that you can buy just 17 round mags and they will fit all 4 models?

I don't have much useful to add other than do not hesitate to buy this fucking gun. I have about a dozen handguns and have had a couple dozen others pass through my possession over the years and I am in love with the 320 compact. I cannot say enough good about it, great trigger, I shoot it accurately as hell. Seriously a fan boy here of it
