I've been wanting one
Going to be picking a full size up in the next month or two. |

320's been selling great around here, long before the Army deal...I really like the platform, have a 320C and will be buying more
|

They have been sold out most places I stop at .The 2 I have shoot very well ,com, and now a full size both are 9mm and have all the updates I made sure they were late build date guns .

I had one and didn't care for it. Sig dropped the ball on the 250, after I bought one of those too, and never offered anything for it like they said they would-frames and mag. production was almost non-existent and prices were insane. I had the compact medium grip module. I liked the angle but thought the grip width was a little much for a 9mm pistol,so I had to buy another frame module- another $50.00 added to the price of the gun. The original trigger was bad with trigger slap,so I had to buy another trigger upgrade-another $50.00. I then wanted to use the new frame I bought but now had to buy another slide stop/bracket because the older one would not fit with the new grip module-another -$35.00. When I bought the extra grip module in the carry-small size they didn't have any other color available other than fde,so I had to settle with that color.
The only I really liked and didn't like at the same time was the trigger pull. It is very short and in the heat of the moment, I could see it being a problem for me as well as some others. With all of the headaches and trial by dollar, I would never buy another again. Good luck getting parts and magazines in the next few months. I am sure Sig will cater to the government contract and we will be left out in the cold again. |

Hate to break it to you but it is a real Sig. Are you supposed to sound more tier 1 buy declaring you will never touch a P320 or Glock? I never get why someone would be so dogmatic and draw a line in the sand and declare you would never cross it. More power to you but you should expand your horizons the P22x series do not do anything better than Glock or P320 and vise versa. The P320 is not a Glock and a Glock is not a P320. You remind me of a person who will not try a certain food only because it is a certain color. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Glocks have just never done anything for me--the trigger, the feel, the ergonomics so naturally all their lesser clones to come out over the years: XD MP VP9 P320 ETC Also do nothing for me. |

I also prefer a striker fired pistol w/o external manual safety for carry though too but that is a different conversation altogether. |

P7 is very similar to a Glock I carried one off and on for years. The trigger is nice but the reset sucks and I am not sure how you are dropping a P7 in a pocket as it is the same size as a G19. Seems to me you like DA/SA pistols which is why you probably do not like striker fired pistols. The CZ P07 is a pretty slick pistol same with the CZ P01 and 75 PCR. |

I have pocket carried it easily going back to the first one I bought in '08. I wear carpenter's jeans,do they have bigger pockets than most? I am 6'2". The trigger reset is "meh" on the P7 but I like its compact size for a 9mm and I always shot it very well from day 1. I do need to get a CZ. I've definitely looked at them a bunch over the years but never did pull the trigger on one. I have seen several glowing reviews now that have piqued my interest. |

I bought a full size .45 in 2015 and I am STILL having a hell of a time finding a small grip frame. Looks like that will continue to be the case.

I picked up my Desantis leather ,holster in black today open top and it fits the 320 full size perfect ,its molded right for the gun .

Beretta prices drop? 92s are stupid cheap for anow all metal handgun. I bought my M9 brand new for $490 View Quote I wish I could find an M9 for that price around here, I'd buy it today. I had thought about getting a 320 last year to see how it compared to my Glock 19, but I went down that road already with the VP9. I ended up going back to my G19. |

I called the local distributor yesterday. You know? The ones that were pushing for PDs to trade in their Glocks for them last week. They only had four of any configuration. They don't know when they'll get any more.

I wanted to get a late build full size 320 already had the compact 9mm , and was going to trade a mint MP 40 L/E with night sights and 3 mags most did not want the 40 gun one place wanted to give 185 for it .

I might get one down the road. It depends on if I go to a unit that is issued them before I retire. Same reason I bought my 92. Get one so I can practice with before qualification/deployment. View Quote I'm planning to do the same thing - pick one up to train with, since we rarely get to shoot pistols at work, outside qualification. I did the same thing with the M9 about a decade ago. However, I'm going to wait for Sig to inevitably release their "Military Model" that matches the features (e.g. manual safety) that the Army will be fielding. I don't necessarily want a manual safety, but I want my training pistol to match the one I'll carry at work. If they field them before I retire... |

http://i.imgur.com/ozmHtoE.jpg I'm quite happy with Glock. Won't be getting a Sig P320 anytime soon. .380 Auto, 9x19mm, .40 S&W, 10mm Auto, and .45 ACP don't need anything else. View Quote Good for you and who cares. |

I dont think you will see the Army model for a long time , and with some L/E going with the 320 they may get hard to get in some places .

You cant beat a Glock and they have less parts and spring to lose . I have Gen 4 9mm 17 and its been great also never a problem .

A customer had a 320 with a safety the other day . I handled it and if I had to have a safety on a striker then this is what I'd want. Felt great.

It shouldn't change anything, but it will. Sig had a hard time selling that model before, but now everybody will have one. You know, what the military uses. View Quote Meh, I never owned a Beretta. Won't ever own one of these either. It's funny how big Army chose these but SOF guys from all branches still choose Glock. |

Went to gander mountain today and got the last P320 full size they had and the wife got the last Carry model they had.

I'm curious if there is a report available on which makes/models were tested and why the 320 was chosen over everything else. I've never fired one but have handled and dry fired one. Seemed to have a good trigger (for a striker fired gun), okay ergonomics, fair balance, but also felt like a BIG gun (tall slide). Without having shot the gun I can't really judge too much but just from handling I wouldn't have thought, "This is it! This one is going to win the Army trials!"
It will be interesting to see what military members think of the pistol 10, 20 years down the road. You seldom (note I didn't say NEVER) find a serviceman/veteran who will openly praise the M9. I also find it interesting that looking at the previous trials that the Beretta was chosen over the Sig P226 because the tests at the time lead them to believe the Beretta was a better pistol; I feel like the overall consensus now (perhaps with some descent) is that a P226 was and is a better firearm. |

ALL of SIG Sauer is US based - so, "SIG in the USA" is all there is. |

Much better reliability in harsh conditions. |

False, they performed practically even, bit Beretta had a better accessory package. View Quote This is the info I can find too. Sig and Beretta were the only two that passed the trials. Sig had a lower price on pistol, Beretta had an overall lower price (I'm guessing mags and other accessories included). |

Don't diss the P320 until you have fired one.
I rented one a while back and it was easy to shoot accurately right out of the gate, had a good trigger, and over all left a good impression. If for some reason I was to get out of the Walther P99s that I count on, the P320 would be one of the pistols in the top three I would choose from. |

I thought those numbers were different but couldn't find anything online. I also thought the Beretta parts had a longer lifespan but maybe I shouldn't be going off memory.

I still have all the gun magazines from back in the 80s with all the test info, Beretta was a little cheaper bid also have photos of Ruger , Smith Wesson and Star auto that was tested . and a Colt of some kind .

Hopefully Sig has ramped up their customer service department to correspond with the increased sales.
