The Sig P320 Pro Series has landed

[HCM]

I'm giving these a hard look... I think I may be able to live with the DPP footprint. With the Army and ICE contracts specc'ing that cut, seems to me that the footprint is here to stay for a while (and DPP-> ?? adapters would probably be a thing given the amount of guns in service).

Do you happen to have the SKU for the 3.9" variant? I can find the 4.7" online, but that's not the one I'm looking for.

The ICE P320s do not have an optics cut. The DOD spec’ed the DPP foot print. CBP spec’ed that the rear sight could not be on the optics cut (which is how the M17 and prior X series were) and that it be capable of using the DPP and RMR. I’m guessing there is and adaptor for putting an RMR on the DPP cut. If I recall correctly the DPP footprint is slightly larger than the RMR foot print so it make sense to do it that way vs the reverse. The real question is can you put an ACCRO on it ?

I picked mine up at Lone Star Tactical Supply, (832) 478-9604 in Houston. Pretty much our only Sig LE dealer. He has both the Carry and full size versions in stock right now.

Thanks. My local SIG LE dealer has the full size version but don’t know if they are getting the carry versions in. They say SIG LE guns just “show up” and if they try to order specific guns the quoted wait is “six months to two years.”

The CBP solicitation specifically excluded the rear sight being mounted to the optics cover plate so the gun in the photo you have would be a no go for CBP. That is why the pro series was developed.

The M17/18 was spec’ed for the DPP footprint and SIG is supposedly making a Romeo optic with the DPP footprint. If there is a military contract for M17 optics with a DPP footprint, I’m sure Trijicon could whip up an RMR with a DPP footprint. In fact given it was specified for the M17 I’d be surprised if Trijicon had not prototyped one already.

SOCOM is sticking with Glock so there is no official need to be able to mount an RMR on an M17.

The picture I posted is SIG's M17 "SOPMOD" package to appeal to the SOCOM types and show what it's capable of being outside of the standard issue. While SOCOM isn't going away from the Glock, like the M9 on the MTOEs they'll still be issued and have access to them to use if they find a need.

I'm sure Trijicon could prototype a DPP mount RMR, but the RMR type 2 is already the selected option. The protyped option above would just bring the ability to mount the issued SOCOM optic to the DoD standard issued M17/18.

As for the CBP solicitation, I was just making the parallel. I'm sure there will be an RMR adapter plate for the PRO series; I just wonder how long until we actually get them, if SIG will sell them or if we'll have to wait for an aftermarket solution.

It may depend on whether or not they get the CBP contract, though I a still waiting to see the vapor ware size L X carry grip that is specified in the ICE contract.

Out of curiosity, what's holster (kydex, Safariland) compatibility like between the normal 320s and the X-series frames?

No issues I’ve seen across a few kydex and Safariland ALS.

As noted above, there seem to be no issues with ALS only based systems. I'm not sure how the SLS hood would interface with the beavertail.

Browsing Aimpoint's site...



I'd think the sights-on-slide-plate design would be more ACRO-friendly, but it would appear Aimpoint has some plans. My assumption is that the M17 adapter would be for the DPP cut.

M17 - DPP cut! X five - SIG Romeo cut.

Safariland makes a specific 7TS ALS holster for the X carry model 7360-752-XXX. One of my Sgt's has that holster. His looks like this one. They also have one for the full size X frame and the VTAC, 7360-450-XXX.

The light bearing versions are X Carry 7360-7522-XXX and the X fullsize and VTAC is 7360-4502-XXX.



I have the older 6360-750-XXX that was for the 320, and while the x carry did fit, the side of the holster rubbed against the grip. A little heat here and there, and I gave it some clearance.

The hood has no issues with the beavertail at all.
