That was the first and only time I’ve ever handled one. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they’re still there. |

That’s what I have on mine for comparison.

Correct. The Pro model that has the long dust cover has "LDC" in the SKU. |

Yeah, was gonna say the same thing. The Romeo 1 Pro is actually pretty nice. It’s not the most durable but has nice glass. I had one on my P320-M18 for a bit. I ended up getting rid of it because there’s no way to have a rear iron sight with it. I just prefer suppressor height irons on my RDS equipped pistols. That doesn’t leave many options for the Sig slides that don’t have a rear sight dovetail. I’ve found the best option are the FCD plates that incorporate a rear sight dovetail. I have the RMR version on my P320-M17. I believe they also make an Acro version as well. |

Yes, they carry with the safety off. That’s pretty standard. I never went through the M18 qual, but during the M9 course/qual we were taught to carry round in the chamber, hammer down, safety off. The handful of times I was armed with an M9, that was how I did it. |

Can anyone confirm if that's true anywhere? Army- when I started it was in our agency policy to carry the M9 with the safety/decocker on. Only SRT was authorized to carry with it disengaged. When we transitioned to the M17 and M18 the verbiage was removed altogether. I carry with the safety On/engaged because my thumb rides on it like a 1911 and I disengage when I "punch out and go to work" with the exception of firing with thumb pec index during our qual at close range. |

Yeah, that’s a 4.7” slide with threaded barrel, not a X-Five. It’s not a bull barrel and the X-Five slide protrudes further than that on a Carry-length rail |

Looking through this thread, I must say I don’t believe a single one of these pistols is actually from the military. I was repeatedly reliably informed that the modularity of the P320 was a marketing gimmick and that it would never be utilized by a single branch of the armed forces. J’accuse! |

The world is a wild place. I've been around enough to see that I could do 99% of my job (as well as what I would really like to do) with a gun and a mag or two in my pockets.- Some Smart Guy

The funny thing is that spoke with a guy who carried the M203 on troop trials at JFKSWS and recommended against it for general issue vs. the M79. |

I'm NOT selling anything but saw a M18 commercial w/ fde R1P for sale at my LGS when picking up another transfer. What would y'all consider an immediate buy it now price? Bc I really don't need it, but I was tempted. @sierra-def @s-1 @eaglecp I think y'all are the p320 experts. |

Bc I really don't need it, but I was tempted. @sierra-def @s-1 @eaglecp I think y'all are the p320 experts. @laxman09 I would say $800-850 would be buy it now price when you consider that Sportsmans Warehouse sells the M18 by itself for $650. And that $850 is IF you are wanting the optic it comes with. Personally prefer the RMR myself though. |

I believe SIG is going to offer the commercial M17 with the military pattern slide so that it’s compatible with the ROMEO-M17. I posted here about the report that they’re going to sell the military slides separately with and without the optic. |

I posted here about the report that they’re going to sell the military slides separately with and without the optic. I shamelessly bummed it off of what you posted. It felt right being added in here. Speaking of bumming, I started following the Danish Military page along with the Australian page to see any photos that pop up with their versions of the 320. Another Danish X Carry:

The civilian models will be available moving forward so i wouldn’t worry about them drying up or anything. LEO/ MIL pricing is in the $550 range and POWs are $650-ish. So considering it has the R1P i agree with the $800ish price. Cp |

Linked: SIG SAUER Electro-Optics ROMEO-M17 Receives NSN Designation That’s good news. Hoping to get one for myself eventually, but they’ve been out of stock for a while. I’m guessing they’re filling government orders. |
