Sig Sauer P320 Range Report

Post by Mindflayer »

I wheeled and dealed (and I was selling my Ruger GP100(1)) and ended up with a Sig Sauer P320. It seems to be a current favorite of the gun crowd, and I can see why. The trigger is very good, especially for a stock striker-fired pistol. I would say it's easily up with an H&K VP9 or a Walther PPQ. It is much better than the old M&P triggers(2) or XDM.

Ergonomics are solid. The P320 fits as well in my hand as my M&P 9C, or the H&K VP9, or the Walther PPQ. I find it a bit more comfortable than the XDM series. I say solid and not great, as the slide height/bore axis is higher than my trusty M&P and the grip angle is different. I can draw my M&P and get right on target; that's not the case with the Sig. Of course, that's also because my M&P is the one I train with the most and carry the most.

Speaking of sights, they are SIGLITE® Night Sights and are quite good, especially for stock sights. Big enough to pick out, narrow enough to see light around the front sight. I read on the Interwebs that you have to hold at 6 o'clock at 10-15 yards. I found that holding on the desired POI worked at that range for me.

Right now, still debating selling it or keeping it. I want to like it, and I do like 9mm carry guns. Maybe some more time on the trigger to see how rapidly I can get accustomed to the different grip.

(1) I know, I know. But I bought a SP101, and I hate having safe queens.
(2) The new M&Ps have better triggers, like the M&P Shield. I also read that Smith and Wesson is dropping the Pro Center triggers across the whole M&P line.

Nice write-up! Good looking pistol too. I read many people's comments about aiming 6 o'clock low at short ranges. Though I have a P226, I find the sights to be POA/POI, not 6 o'clock low. And seems to be consistent out to 25 yards.

YouTube video of grip Compact to Sub swap. Yes, I am aware I referred to the slide as the frame.

been thinking about this as a keep in the car always gun.

Would you say the grip angle is consistent with all Sigs and just different then your M&P or is it even different than other Sigs?

Handsome pistol, that P320.

"The P320 fits as well in my hand as my M&P 9C"

You're obviously comfortable with it.


"...my M&P is the one I train with the most and carry the most."

Hang on to the P320 until you get better acquainted with it, you might regret letting it go so quickly after acquisition. After all, you got rid of some nice hardware in order to obtain it.
