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. |

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.

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. |

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. |

The P07/9 is great polymer CZ but the CZ 75/SP01 are metal framed and have better stock triggers. I own both a 75BD and SP01 Tactical and love them both. I plan to add a P07/9 but I want to find a used one for a good price. |

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. 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... |

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. |

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. |
