From what I've heard, that is correct. However, the standard mags can be made to work in the X-series guns either by a) replacing the base plates with X series ones (or any aftermarket ones that do not have the wings), or b) just cutting the wings off the standard base plate.Originally Posted by Tokarev

The 17 round X series mags are the same as the newest regular 320 mags. They are identified by the square baseplate retention lug. They still have wings, but the swings are tapered so they work with the X series integrated mag well. Older, round peg, 320 mags can be modified to work either by sanding off the wings of the base plates, or just tapering them.

Alright I bought one.
Below are a couple photos and a short video of the gun being fired with my USPSA minor load. 115gr FMJ with a small charge of AutoComp.
The new gun is pretty tight and wouldn't go fully into battery under spring weight alone. Now, after 100 rounds, the gun is still tight but wearing in nicely.
The trigger is 6.25 pounds and is fairly crisp but has a surprising amount of overtravel.
The X frame feels good. I like the boxy shape and more square profile.
The gun should be a keeper. I think it'll work well as a general range gun and should be legal as-is for both USPSA and IDPA.
I'll update when I have some more rounds fired.
Also, I should note that the sticker on the box says the gun was made at the end of November but it has an unfinished disconnector notch.

Cool. 6.5lb trigger seems high for a striker gun to me, but i'm not very familiar with pulk weights. I care far more about feel. Sig may not be my preference, but nobody can deny they make a good looking gun. How are the sights?
You planning to use it for just competition?

How's the POA/POI with those sights? I dig it.
Never experienced overtravel in the regular 320's so that makes me wonder.
The sights are a little different than those on my M&P and I wonder if they've been re-designed or are just different for the SIG. The front sight gas a more triangular shape than I remember and the rear sight notch is deeper. As a result of the rear sight I can see the top of the slide in my sight picture.
POI seems correct but I've only shot the pistol at ten yards. I'll need to try it at closer and longer ranges to get a feel for how the VTAC is going to shoot. I'm assuming there will be some mechanical offset at very close range.
My intended purpose for the gun? It seems like just about everything I buy I have plans for but too much of my stuff ends up in the safe.
I am really sorry to hear this, but I think that there have been more than a few inaccurate assumptions that have lead to this attitude.
It have been running the P320 for three years now and have seen the tweaks rolling out over the years that have been attempting to optimize the platform and resolve identified issues. My take is that I think SIG had some type of report of drop failures but could not consistently reproduce the failure through the testing that it was using. When the recipe of the negative 30 degree drop hit the internet I think that was legitimately the first time that SIG had a full view of the vulnerability, as obscure as it was.
Since they were calling in guns for the "upgrade" I think they decided to also address the other weakest point in the system; the timing challenge dealing with minor tolerance changes affecting the trigger actuated disconnect (AKA the double click).
Most people who have sent in their P320s to SIG are thankful reporting that the guns are coming back with the trigger feeling as good or better than before.
This has been an unexpected and fairly catastrophic event that SIG has weathered
It has certainly left the P320 much better off and it's now perhaps of the most tested guns guns in the industry. That should certainly help as SIG continues to pursue other contracts and opportunities for the P320.
I am also pretty sure I heard Santa coming down my chimney, and the grunt of his reindeer waiting outside this morning.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
Everything about this gun is at least a great idea. Only a hater would hate on it....and I haven't owned a Sig in 20 years and am not interested in this gun - albeit for the influence it will have on others. Who doesn't want a Glock, or M&P, or XYZ with a better trigger and 20 round magazine out of the box. The perfect blend of tactical and gamer - full size gun to carry around .... or shoot in your local charity outlaw match. I'm glad its out there and I hope they are sold by the thousands...or tens of thousands....
So Glock will one up them
