Sig P320 as an EDC option
Posted: Mon Jun 19, 2017 4:58 pm
I had been debating between several firearms. I looked at the P320, M&P 2.0, and Beretta APX. I loved the grip texture of the new M&P 2.0 and I like M&P in general. The Beretta APX...while I appreciate its style, after messing with one it didnt make the cut this time. I think they are all good and have their own pros and cons but in the end I pulled the trigger on the 320.
What I got was the 320 Carry and got a Compact frame and mags to be used for both sizes I put the holster back in the case and use a Cooks IWB holster. I also replace the factory trigger with an Apex flat trigger. I did this more for comfort. Apex has another trigger that reduces the pull apparently but thats not what I wanted to do. The trigger on my 320 is honestly shockingly good. I didnt expect it to be as good as it is. Breaks crisp and has a great reset.
My frame has the medium grip and that perfect for my hand. Just fits great. I like the front cocking serrations and the night sights are super bright. It is also just a really simple design and I like that. It not some safe queen. I am going to use it and carry it. Right off it had 100 rounds put through it downrange without one hiccup.
I havent been keeping up with current events so I raised an eyebrow when I recently learned the P320 (with a few modifications) was being purchased by the military to replace the Beretta M9. I have carried a Beretta 92FS and loved that gun but it was just too big and heavy and was relegated to duty use only. I think this would bode well for the P320 civilian consumers as I would think there will plenty more of aftermarket support for this platform on top of what we have now. Maybe not right at first but eventually. There is already a good bit of stuff out but things I am talking about is holsters, grip frames, etc. I would like to see frame colors other than just FDE and Black. I would like to see gray and or dark gray. I think some will just buy it because its issued to the military.
But all that speculation aside its a fantastic gun for me. I like it more and more. The more I pick it up the more I love it. I thought that "newness" would where off like most guns do with me after a week or so. Nope. Its quickly become one of my favorite pistols.
