I can't go into my LGS without buying another pistol.

Especially when it feels as good in the hand as the P320
Then the trigger, damn it's nice. Very little take up & it's actually
what Sig claims for pull.

I checked it with my Lyman digital when I got home. Sig says 5.5 to 6.5

Well it's averaging 6.0 lbs. And great reset. No wonder everybody likes these.
Included paddle holster is a nice touch.

$592 out the door, tax & background check included.

I'm a M&P kool-aid drinker. Especially with both my FS & Core fully Apex equipped.

But I was surprised the P320 is as good as many on this forum have said.
Did not expect to come home with it, went there to check out the PPQ Q5 Match

But they were out of stock. Worked out good in the end.

I just ordered the Apex flat trigger of course, looks good

I drank deeply of the M&P-aid too. Don't have any left in the collection now lol

Just noticed this has Siglite night sights.

Do these all come with them? Or did I luck out?

EDIT: model is 320C-9-BSS

Looks like I got a great deal considering it has factory night sights.

Nope not all come with night sights. $592 OTD for a night sight 320C is a pretty good deal.

Yes, I've done a little research, looks like my LGS took care of me
since this is the 5th firearm purchase this year.

Drank the M&P koolaid and really regretted it.
P320 was much more agreeable. Will never swap out all of the Glocks - but the Sig is one nice pistola with a very nice trigger. Mags are a bit pricey, but that's it.

Trigger is impressive for a striker fired gun.

No "twang" sound like every other striker gun I've dry fired.

Very solid sound when striker drops.
Looking forward to see how the Apex flat trigger feels on this pistol.

I'm really looking forward to giving the 320 a try. I'm thinking about trying to get a 320C with the Full Size slide. Kind of an easy way to try the G19L I've wanted without chopping up a Glock.

Two birds with one stone.

Congrats. In the last two months I've bought a 320 Compact and a 320 Carry. Nice pistols.

I like the Sig P320 trigger a lot and the way it fits the hand, but dat high bore axis doe.

Maybe I'm strange but i don't notice it going back ad forth from my G19 to my P320c. I only complain about my 1st gen takedown lever making my hand bleed after a few hundred rounds.

I like the short grip / long slide idea

Yup. And it can be accomplished without a dremel or trip to Boresight. The Compact grip/FS slide is a factory SKU you can get from several places.

That's how my wife's is set up. Works like a champ after getting the recoil assembly broken in and getting her grip and stance sorted out.

I throw the SC frame on my compact pretty regularly when I need to drop some size for concealment.

Another plus to the 320 system is you can carry a fs mag as a backup

When I bought my vp9 i was also looking at the p320c. I wish I would not have went for the hk. I have shot a couple p320c now and they are really nice. I also like stock sig lite sights. The hk required some trijicon hds.

Just picked up a 320c myself, loving it. Recoil is better than in my vp9, imo, even with the high bore axis. Feels good in the hand

Just ordered a Full size conversion kit, comes with everything but a FCU.
So I'll have 3 options

Full size, 17 rounds.

Compact 15 rounds

Compact with full size slide hybrid. 15 rounds

Had to order direct from Sig in NH, all online sources out of stock. Looks great, DHart has done this.
I think it really looks great set up this way.

Also, forgot to add.

For $45 I can get a sub compact shell, and use the FCU and compact slide
on the SC grip for another hybrid short grip longer slide pistol.

They look kinda like old school sigs when set up that way.

If I can find the sucker I have a subcompact small in FDE I might get rid of. Already have a FS small in FDE I'm looking to sell.

Love the compact/FS slide look. I'm thinking if I get one I'll try to track down an OD grip frame. Just for reasons.

Exactly why I like it. Plus, makes for a great carry gun
Not unlike the Colt CCO. An Officers model grip with a Commander slide
or like another member mentioned, a G19L

I'll be sure to post pics of my "unboxing" and results of conversion.

To bad it's not in black, I would take it. I'm not into other colors.

Usually on pistols I'm not either. In this case I was color coding. All my smalls were FDE, mediums were black and if I had bought a large it would be OD. That way I could tell immediately what size grip I was looking at without picking it up.

Roger that. I plan to sell it, I just have to find it first lol. It's packed away somewhere in the safe.

Makes sense, not a bad idea actually for caliber ID as well.

Got the X-Change kit, looks great. Came direct from Sig.
Nice that the slide comes with Siglite night sights.

Aftermarket vendors were all out of stock.

I choose the M&P40C when I want to go smaller and lighter.

Full size P320 40 feels like a Rolls Royce when shooting - so soft and so easily controlled. Makes hitting accurately very easy, as well.

Nice pics Don.

You were right about the full size, I think I will carry that.
No problem as I carried my M&P FS for the last 6 months.

I may sell the Compact X-Change kit (unfired/new) , as I only keep guns I like
to carry and use all around. Range/night stand, basically all purpose.

The sale will finance the next pistol. Maybe the new CZ P10

I also got the Apex trigger for my Compact P320 and it's a huge improvement over the original OEM trigger IMO. The original P320 trigger would sting my finger, the Apex trigger took care of that. No more sting and a nice flat contact area on the trigger. Well worth the money going the Apex route, just take you time on the install and be careful not to bend the trigger spring.

Clark... thank you. And, yes, the full size P320 40 and full size M&P40 are my favorite carry guns by far. They just shoot so incredibly softly and smoothly. And the capacity (14+1=15 and 15+1=16) is excellent. Superb carry guns that are a pure pleasure to shoot at the range.

Has anyone heard any reports of P320s having light primer strike issues?

I had some issues with my FS in a class I shot back in Nov. I was shooting a mix bag of Wolf and Blazer Brass 9mm and it happened with both. No issues with my 320C same day same ammo.

Came home, pulled the striker assembly, cleaned and lightly lubed. That seemed to fix it when I tested it but I did not shoot it a lot before I traded it on the wife's CCW. Figured I had the 320RX and didn't really need 2 FS pistols.

I've been doing a lot of reading over on the Sig forum since getting my P320 and haven't read anything or noticed any topics about light primer strikes.

What type of ammo were you using when you experienced the light primer strikes?
I've had one single round of 115gr. Winchester white box that had a light primer strike in my P320. I attempted to fire the round in a Glock 19 and it would not fire in that pistol either so it was obviously bad ammo. All other ammo has been fine, just a single round of WWB failed.

I haven't had any problems with mine, it's still on back order, lol! Some Glock lover on FB apparently stirring up a little BS. I figured since I hadn't heard about it here, it was most likely BS, and it seems that it is.

Glad you like. I've since decided that I prefer the full size frame with the full length slide.
