new DHS pistol solicitation is out.

It's what's on the inside that matters. Although that may be the light trigger.

Rumor is... (RUMOR) that the "X" series may or may not have been a result of what ICE asked Sig to do. Much like the LEM (law enforcement modification) was invented for the INS. The X series has been released to the public already. But its genesis "could be attributed" to DHS requests. Maybe... possibly....

Don't know about that but I was in a SIG instructor class when the contract was announced earlier this year. The head instructor told me we (ICE) were now trying to get the X series grip modules included in the package. I bumped into Phil Strader from SIG at Iron Sight Nationals and he indicated there was a change to the original package as well. I have seen photos of the guns delivered to the national armory a few weeks ago. Essentially a 320 compact with a thinner curved trigger (I assume this is the DOD'ish mods) with the X5 carry grip module. I was led to believe we (individual agents and officers) are getting the gun with all three compact grip modules with 5 mags (this was the original package) plus the X5 grip module and what I am guessing is 3 full size mags (I am making this assumption off this article that indicates 8 mags are included).

My selfish concern is this gun going to be a pain in the ass to get holsters for if it's a combo of two different civilian models (compact and X carry). As long as JM is down with the plan I will be happy.

Sfran943,
Word from OFTP is the guns will hit the academy @march and then start to filter into the field after the basic classes get the first batches.

The P320 is a nice shooting gun, but you couldn’t run fast enough to give me a Sig today, unless it is a German made gun with old German internals.
