Let me start by saying I'm more of a Beretta guy (booo, hiss!) but I've been curious about the 'new' P320/M17 after it got a bit more notoriety with MHS and a ton of positive things I've seen and heard about them since. I've been looking into trying out a P320/M17 and was confused on how to get the correct configuration. I see the M18 is the compact slide/frame and the 17 looks to be a full size slide with the compact frame, which is what I'm after. From what I've seen online, that configuration doesn't seem to be available, or at least I can't find it. So with that, a few questions: - Trigger pack. Do all of the SIGS have them or is there a specific/newer model (all P320?) that do? My friend's P226 doesn't and is set up with regular firing mechanism parts. How do you get the trigger pack which is what I am assuming you need for the P320/M17? - I saw in a thread here that you can just buy the compact polymer frame from SIG for like $50. So with that, do you simply buy a FDE fullsize P320, switch out the frame and trigger pack and done? - Assuming this will work, are there any other real differences between 'building' the pistol this way, and waiting for a 'real' M17 aside from FDE finish and the lock out mechanism? Thanks for the help. Ok, I'll step in here. #1. Only the Sig P320 (and it's predecessor the discontinued P250) have the modular swappable trigger pack. #2. Yes #3. Supposedly the M17's internal components are more "high end" (according to what a vender told a dealer here). No specifics as to how though. |

Putting a full side slide on a CARRY frame will get you the M17 profile, but you'll need a fire control module with a safety. Which is only currently available in compact. And black.

Thanks for the help. 1. The P320 is the pistol series with a removable serialized trigger pack. The P226 is part of the classic series of pistols and are traditionally designed pistols. 2. The game is just a simple plastic shell. You can put any of the configurations on any slide length. Change the color, stipple the frame, change the length is just a $35-50 plastic shell piece that's not a firearm. 3. You can build a similar configuration, but if you want all the features of the M17/M18 (internal coatings, safety, deltapoint pro mounting*, etc...) sounds like you'll need to wait for the civilian release. *The M series was designed to mount the Leupold Deltapoint Pro, not the SIG Romeo that's currently being offered. |

Anyone know when this will be? *snort* Lololololololol Ahem, no. No one knows. It's hard enough to get spare grip modules. |
