Picked up the P320 at bullseye London a few weeks ago. Props to them as they shipped quickly, had a good price, free ship and available extra mags.
I currently own a G34 and decided to add a second 9mm to my lineup. I have an obsession about regular striker fired polymer pistols.
I have either shot or owned most of them and I carry the M&P daily....
Many pistols seemed to have features that I didn't like or they were nothing special for me personally. (Don't want a safety, don't want a de-cocker, I prefer made in USA etc). A few of my favourite YouTube shooters always seem to influence my pistol purchases in a big way. After researching it for a while and then discovering that the US army selected the p320 I decided to get one.

I will say right from the start that although the modular abilities of the pistol seem awesome and are possibly the wave of the future of pistols.... I could care less. I'll be shooting it in it's original configuration.

The grip is great. Sig did a great job with the texture of the grip. The medium full sized grip supplied with the pistol fits me well. I do have large hands (xl hands and 6'2), Shooters with small hands may want to snag a small sized grip module or handle one before purchasing IF they can find one. As much as I love my Glock the trigger guard "bites" me and I deal with it instead of getting it undercut. The P320 does not have this issue, it's very comfortable. The slide serrations are also really nice to have and I really like the look of the tapered slide from the front to back.

The trigger is crisp and has a nice break and audible crisp reset. It's a standard heavier duty style weight (somewhere around 6lbs). Obviously the glock 34 has a much lighter trigger (4.5) but the Sig seems lighter than an M&p or sfp9 etc.... I am in no way a trigger snob so unless there is an issue with excessive heavy or light or sloppy trigger I have no issue.

The gun definitely has a high profile and does have noticeably more muzzle flip than glock, M&p, HK, cz, etc...
That said it's not an issue for me. A bit of training and proper grip and it's fine. The sights are fine and essentially standard fare.

The accuracy of the gun is almost as good as I can accomplish with my Glock 34. Don't troll me here! All my firearms can most likely shoot better than me. I shot 7, 10, and 15 yards as well as clays at 25.
Every time I missed I knew it was my fault.

The P320 seems well made and is THE easiest gun I have encountered to disassemble and clean. It has a steel guide rod which I prefer over a lot of manufacturers cheeping out with plastic ones. The mags are also very good quality.
I like things that have immediate obvious quality and work well as they should. The P320 does exactly that!

It comes with a nice box and a nice holster and 2 mags. I grabbed an extra third mag ($60 each).

I'm very happy with my purchase.
I would highly recommend the P320.



 
Just tried one this week for the first time. 5 rounds from 10 yds is my only experience. :) It's nice! ...and I'm a Shadow guy. Managed a 1-1/8" group, but it did shoot high for me. I'm curious about the RX version since I'm getting old and blind. I'll be looking at this more down the road.

Enjoy!
 
I was surprised the factory sights were metal..lol... I was expecting Tupperware lol... Trijicon HDs are the cat's meow with my bad eyes.
 
Very happy with my P320 as well. Swapped out the medium grips/frame that came with it for the large size, and it was a noticeably better for my large hands. I was surprised when the large frame arrived with a replacement slide stop included. I guess there were complaints about the original being too big for some folks (not an issue with me), so the replacement is quite a bit smaller with a fence molded into the grip around it. Frankly, I liked the original, bigger one better, but the revised version is OK.
 
Nice purchase!

I've been experimenting with the small module on mine the last few outings, but I don't have anything conclusive yet that says I shoot better with it or not.
 
Been rocking a 320 back in 2014 when the MD Charlton rep was making fun of me and my Glock. Well I have BOTH pistols (G17) and P320 and I love them both.... so there!

Whenever my clients ask: What should I buy, a Glock 17 or a SIG P320? I always answer: YES.... :evil:

I sold that P320 back in 2015 to rock another Trijicon for my SR / CQB rig. But I'm back in the P320 game, thanks to the great folks at Wolverine Supplies, fast transaction, fast shipping, and CFO Orillia Approval in 4 weeks, but that's out of everyone's control. :rolleyes:

It's all good. It's here and I've always shot will with my P320 in the past. Now to find a 6378 or 7378 Safariland FDE holster for this baby! :cool:

Cheers, :wave:
