Quoted: Those with M18s or 17s, what if any upgrades did you do? Or did you keep it OEM? Thinking about changing out the curved to a flat trigger Attached File |

Quoted: I bought one of these from the Cherry Point MCX. The data sticker on the box has a date of 24 MAY 2024, so it seems to be a recent production run. How much does it cost at the MCX? I’ve never heard of AAFES carrying them - they only stock the commercial models. I keep meaning to stop by Quantico to see what they have. Proven Arms got some in a month or so ago, which seems to coincide with the manufacture date on yours. |

I probably would not have bought it at the normal $749.99 price. The civilian versions are $100 cheaper, if I recall correctly. I am pretty sure MCX LeJeune also had some when I swung through there. I'm actually not a SIG guy at all, but I thought this model was pretty cool. Especially at the reasonable "sale" price, given the no tax "benefit." Also, I noticed that Proven Arms is a NC distributor/wholesaler, so that is probably one of the reasons our exchanges were able to get some. Assuming others have not. |

AAFES was doing a 10% off for Father’s Day week + 5% off if you use a Star Card. That’s the only time I buy from the PX because it actually makes the prices very competitive. I was as tempted by the commercial M18 - normally $660, brought down to $564 with the sale, which makes it comparable to SIG’s professional program price with no tax. I’d rather hold out for another one of these military production M18s though.

AAFES uses RSR as their distributor, which is where the shopmyexchange.com inventory comes from. |

Yeah, their prices are not very good normally. I even had one of the clerks tell me they have an extra middle man that takes a cut of the percentage. That is why they claim we have a no tax benefit, but their prices are the same or more as the regular stores plus tax. I didn't know Springfield Armory had a military discount program until I bought a Garrison at the MCX. Most stores are at about $799 plus tax for a Garrison around here. At the MCX it was about $739. I finally sprung for one during one of the sales, I think it was 10% off, which brought it down to $660 something. When I plugged in the sku into Google, was when I realized I had bought one of the Front Line models. Guess what, all the Front Line models I found online were about $660 anyway. Granted, I wasn't paying tax or shipping/transfer on top of that, but that is the way it should always be. Not just during a sale. I recently looked at their price match policy. They say they will match a price for a brick and mortar store in the state, for the "out the door" price. That means they want you to include tax when you present them with a price match. What a scam. But hey, at least they had these for a decent price. The earlier poster got one a while back at an even better price, but that looked like almost two years ago. I went back to see if they had a consecutive serial number but they said they didn't. I might still pick up a second one tomorrow. It is the last day of the "sale." |

Quoted: Service connected disability qualifies? Hmmmmmmm. Good Morning, Yes service connected disability qualifies under SIG's LE/MIL Professional Program. For most of the manufactures that we carry the following hold true:

Quoted: @ProvenArmsOutfitters Are TF M17 and TC M18 expected to replenish your stock? Good Afternoon, We do have them on order with SIG and are awaiting their arrival into us. We do not have a current ETA on them, as they from production runs of SIG. Once we do have them our website will be updated for new orders to be placed at that time. If you have any questions or concerns feel free to reach out to us. |

It’s great to hear that SIG apparently plans to keep these available, even if they’re only released sporadically. I think everyone had the impression these were a one-time overrun release when they first appeared. I want to get a second M18 once they’re available again. Thanks for the response! |

Back in stock at Proven Arms! It’s been about six month since the last ones sold out, I think. SIG P320 POW M18 9MM |

They already show out of stock for me. I heard Cherry Point MCX was going to have another 10% off sale so I went and checked out the gun counter after work one day and they no longer had any on display. I'm surprised they sold out of them AFTER the sale when I bought mine, as pricey as they were at normal price. |
|
Quoted: They already show out of stock for me. Wow, sorry about that, I guess they only lasted a few hours. Might be worth checking back in case they sold quickly and are waiting for orders to catch up. Always a chance one falls through if someone can't get a transfer lined up. |

Dang, I wish I could buy one of these. I work for the DoD but it does not look like I qualify. |

I stopped by the Quantico MCX recently and also noticed that they are selling Springfield Armory pistols at their Firstline prices. The full size Echelon was $579, compared to $706 at the Army PX. Quantico had a 10% off sale going on too, so I was really tempted but don’t need another style of pistol right now. I didn’t realize there could be such a big price difference between different military exchanges. I had gone there to see if they had the military production M18s like MCXs in NC, but it doesn’t look like it. I didn’t get chance to ask the counter staff member because he was tied up with a couple sales. |

I haven't stopped by the gun counter for a while as everything was strictly retail at the MCX. |

Quoted: Didn't know this thread existed until I saw a link in another thread. https://i.postimg.cc/LXrNSzL9/Polish-20250323-145103686.jpg Nice! How do you like the grip module? |

Quoted: Nice! How do you like the grip module? @-KentuckyWindage- I didn't mind the original grip. It fit nice in my hand and was comfortable, but the Brouwer is on another level.  Nice high purchase and fits real good in the hand, really does fit and point like a 1911. I noticed a definite difference in control ability while firing high volume strings of fire with the stippling, works fantastic. Like it was glued to my hand. I'm impressed with it. |

For any of you who aren't on SIG's mailing list, they just announced that the civilian M17 and M18 are now compatible with the M17-Romeo optic. It looks like both now come with a military type slide, and the barrel shown in the photos looks like it has the cage code markings. Serial numbers in the pictures still start with M17 or M18. https://www.sigsauer.com/m17.html https://www.sigsauer.com/m18.html
