Unpacking the P320 M17's Military Heritage and Design Excellence

The P320 M17 isn't just another pistol; it's a piece of history. Its selection as the U.S. Army's Modular Handgun System (MHS) in 2017 speaks volumes about its superior capabilities and adaptability. This rigorous selection process, designed to find a handgun capable of meeting the diverse needs of military personnel in various environments, ultimately chose Sig Sauer's P320 platform. This means that when you choose the P320 M17, you're acquiring a firearm built to the highest standards of durability, reliability, and precision, reflecting years of combat and operational feedback. The civilian model, such as the Sig Sauer 320F9M17MS10 available at DEGuns, closely mirrors the specifications and performance of its military counterpart, ensuring a top-tier experience.

Key Features and What They Mean for You:

• 9mm Luger Caliber: The 9mm Luger is renowned for its optimal balance of manageable recoil, widespread availability, and effective stopping power. It’s an ideal caliber for both new and experienced shooters, making practice affordable and self-defense capabilities robust. Whether you're at the range or preparing for home defense, the 9mm ensures reliable performance.
• Full-Size Frame with Beavertail & Picatinny Rail: The P320 M17 features a robust, full-size stainless steel frame finished in a distinctive Coyote PVD. The integrated beavertail allows for a higher, more secure grip, reducing muzzle flip and enhancing control, especially during rapid firing. The forward M1913 Picatinny rail is a critical addition, providing a standardized mounting platform for tactical lights, laser aiming devices, or other accessories, immediately boosting the handgun's versatility for any scenario.
• Coyote PVD Finish on Frame and Slide: PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) is a high-performance coating applied to both the stainless steel frame and slide. This finish isn't just aesthetically pleasing with its iconic coyote brown hue; it significantly enhances the firearm's durability, providing exceptional resistance to wear, corrosion, and environmental elements. This ensures your P320 M17 remains in pristine condition, even with extensive use and in challenging conditions.
• 4.70" Black Carbon Steel Barrel: The heart of the P320 M17's accuracy lies in its 4.70-inch black carbon steel barrel. This length strikes an excellent balance between ballistic performance and maneuverability, contributing to consistent shot placement and overall shooting precision. Carbon steel is known for its strength and longevity, guaranteeing thousands of rounds of reliable operation.
• Serrated Stainless Steel Slide: The slide, also finished in Coyote PVD, features aggressive serrations at the front and rear. These serrations provide excellent purchase for manipulating the slide, whether you're racking a round into the chamber, performing a press check, or clearing a malfunction, ensuring reliable operation even under stressful conditions or when wearing gloves.
• Manual Safety: For shooters who prefer an additional layer of security, the P320 M17 comes equipped with an ambidextrous manual thumb safety. This feature provides a positive control for safe handling and storage, allowing users to disengage it only when ready to fire. It's a popular choice for those transitioning from other platforms or for anyone prioritizing this specific safety mechanism.
• Coyote Polymer Grip Module: The carry-length Coyote polymer grip module offers superb ergonomics, designed to fit a wide range of hand sizes comfortably. The texture provides a secure and comfortable hold, even during extended shooting sessions or in adverse conditions, contributing to better recoil management and overall control of the firearm.
• SigLite Night Sights: Equipped with SigLite night sights, the P320 M17 offers superior visibility in low-light conditions. These tritium-powered sights glow in the dark, allowing for rapid and accurate target acquisition day or night, a crucial advantage in self-defense situations where lighting may be unpredictable.
• Anti-Corrosion Internal Coatings: Beyond the external PVD finish, Sig Sauer has applied anti-corrosion coatings to the internal components of the P320 M17. This critical detail ensures that the pistol's inner workings remain protected from rust and wear, contributing to its long-term reliability and reducing the need for intensive maintenance.
• Includes Three Magazines (10+1 Capacity): The P320 M17 (model 320F9M17MS10) comes with three 10-round magazines, making it compliant for purchase in states with capacity restrictions. This configuration still provides a practical and sufficient ammunition supply for self-defense or range practice, ensuring you're ready to go right out of the box.
