^^^ Nice!

Thinking the factory M17x or M18x with the Mod x9 can would be pretty sick and I just assumed we'd see more of that setup in the future "in the wild."

Though correct me if I'm wrong, but the commercial M17x/M18x are NOT identical to what the .mil is getting? What is different exactly?

Slide is slightly different,optics cut IS different, spring is double braided, and stamping is different. Think that’s it, I have one too.

The commercial M17X / M18X use the military slide with the same optic cut and military markings, but the slide is combined with a commercial barrel and commercial M17 / M18 prefix FCU, instead of the military TF / TC prefix serial number. Of course, it also has the manual safety removed, which the military version may or may not have.

What is the difference in the commercial barrel vs the army one?

I posted a comparison of the military and commercial M18s here with photos of the two barrels. The short answer is that the military barrel is apparently pretensioned with a tighter lockup with the slide. Cosmetically, they have different markings.

Check this out for an example of extreme prices for the M18s. I think M17s are a little less popular but should still sell well. Not sure about the EE, don’t recall what I’ve seen them go for there. It’s been a while since I noticed one.

An early issued example from ~2019. Does anyone know if Safariland made/makes a non-optic Surefire bearing ALS holster for the M17? It seems like the one photographed above may be what I'm looking for, but everything I've found recently accommodates an optic. I'm aware opticless guns fit in those holsters, but, if possible, would prefer one that doesn't. Thanks.

I wonder if it’s DEVGRU as the p320 looks all black? Also, the rifle looks like a 416.  Did DEVGRU get their Noveskes first or their P320s?

I was pretty sure that dude's rifle has a RIS III on it - unless I'm mistaken, but that was one of the dead giveaways for me.

I prefer a full size frame so I've been warming up to the M17. The most recent pictured M17 isn't the same gun as before, I moved to an admin role for a bit so some of the equipment isn't as prevalent. Example, this Company is stocked full of RMRs, yet no adapter plates for the M17s.

Trijicon makes an adapter specifically for the real M17/18 along with the civilian counterpart.

Are we certain all these pictures are of military pistols? I was assured by all the Glock fanbois that the modularity of the P320 was “stupid” and “will never actually be allowed to be utilized”

It's people stuck in their bubbles and nothing new compares. Yet there was a time when Glock was the new thing and others thought they were "stupid." I find it dumb, I have had and still have a Glock, my 320, and I actually like what I see of the Echelon.

Thanks for posting the pics Jon.  I forgot to look when I took them but when they run the DPP sight, are they not running rear sights or are they using the Leupold rear sight?
