Plastic sigs?

[Boriqua]

Just wondering and maybe some of you have one or two. I have a couple of the P series Sigs and love em.

What is the excitement over the Plastic sigs over other plastic guns? If you have one I would like to hear about it. Except for small differences .. I find that striker fired plastic guns are pretty similar. Yes I prefer one over another when given choices but what makes the Sig version so desirable?

I have a few older P series SIG's which I love and will likely never get rid of. They're my go to guns as the ergonomics work perfect for me. I had a SIG P320 for a short period of time but never warmed up to the trigger or the grip. I'd just rather have the older traditional SA/DA SIG's.

If I'm going to use a polymer framed, striker fired gun; I actually prefer the S&W M&P series over the SIG polymers. In fact, for having a few SHTF guns around; I'd even go with the Glock despite their crappy grip angle, because the mags and the parts are so much cheaper and more available.

I have a P226 and a P220 both are ok but were never my favorites although i plan to hold on to them. Never been a SIG Fan boy per se. I do have a P365 and a P365 XL with a Romeo Zero. I actually really like the P365 for a carry gun. It is in the rotation with my little LCP2 depending on the day and wardrobe. The P365 XL i like better for shooting but it doesn't conceal as well. I bought a military clone M17 but have not shot it yet. Looks cool sitting there.... I think the excitement over the 320 is the acceptance by the Military as the M17/M18 family. I like the concept of the modular P320 FCG and the options that provides. Not sure how much i will take advantage of that stuff but cool. Truthfully for me nothing beats a Glock 19X/G45 for a full sized Striker fired gun. Just feels right nothing fancy nothing flashy just fits and functions.

I have a P320 and a M&P. I prefer the grip on the M&P, it's what is in my backpack everywhere I go. I did swap to the small grip module on the 320, that made a nice difference.

Kind of the reason I asked. Plastic Strikers and factory triggers that come in them has evolved 10 times over.

The p10c I had was pretty awesome out of the box. I just got out of 9mm but.. I was impressed. My M&P 40c is sweet. I did do a trigger kit but only because the hinged trigger messed with a physical defect and I would have been happy with a new trigger shoe alone if one could be had.
The frame rigidity is awesome as is the ergo's.
Those sigs are going for a fair bit of money and never having handled one I just wondered if they were a new evolutionary step forward.

The 365 series has certainly had a strong market entry, as has the "sub compact" category as a whole. Nothing "super" special about them, but they do check quite a few boxes. Just a few, that piqued my interest enough to grab a couple:

* Small form factor (great EDC) w/ good ergos.
* Good mag capacity/options.
* Manual thumb safety option.
* Flat trigger (and no trigger safety).
* Optics ready slide as standard.
* Lots of aftermarket support/options.

Which one is the Civilian version of the Military contract gun?

Which one is the Civilian version of the Military contract gun?

The M17 / M18 is based on the Sig P320 / P320 Carry platform, with a handful of differences between them. However, Sig now offers "civilian" models of the M17 / M18 P320, which include the features of the .mil guns (including manual safeties, etc.).

I love my P320 X-Carry. I was surprised to see Sig ditch the X-Carry sized guns as a factory offering...it's the perfect balance of barrel length vs grip length...somewhere between a Glock 17 and 19.

The ability to completely change grip modules is great. A Glock is fine, but all the Glocks I've owned have had the grip changed via Marine Tex or similar, which takes time and a little trial & error...and you can't undo it. Since a Glock frame is serialized (4473 required), you can't easily go and buy a replacement.

With the P320, I just swap frames in about 60 seconds. Wilson Combat makes the perfect aftermarket grip module, IMO. Just the right amount of added contour and grip surface. And it was just $60. Simple to add tungsten weights as well.

Overall, it is just easier to build a gun that actually fits your hand...without breaking the bank. Unlike many other polymer gripped handguns, you can just buy a new grip module if you completely mess up any customization.

I’m a big fan of CZs. For years I’ve felt the PCR was just about the perfect carry gun. When I decided to start using a carry gun with a red dot I switched to the Sig P320 compact RXP with the Romeo 1 Pro sight. I liked that the sight was frame mounted with no adapter plate. The iron sights were cowitness and 3 dot tritium. Has a nice crisp flat faced trigger. I could have gotten these options with my PCR or P10C, but only after sending it out for slide cuts, finding all the correct parts, waiting a couple of months, and then hope my replacement sights and RDS would match up. Very happy with the Sig setup. Can’t say if it shoots better than the CZs since it’s like apples and oranges: 6moa dot vs sights that are blurry, but it is a lot easier to but holes in the black.
