This is the SIG P320 MHS, a key competitor in the hunt for the Army’s next sidearm.
With the Army’s many Beretta pistols showing their age, the military is considering a completely new sidearm that meets today’s standards and compensates for some of the issues they’ve run into with the M9 series, including the open slide, slide-mounted safety and oversized grip.
The SIG P320 MHS solves all the problems and delivers a modern pistol to replace it. Key differences between this edition and current commercial versions of the P320 Compact include a new color scheme, an ambidextrous manual thumb safety, a modified ambidextrous slide stop lever, a loaded chamber indicator and a captured firing pin assembly.
These changes are expected to be options on commercial models, and we’re sure that if SIG lands the contract the MHS model will be offered as-is on the open market.
It’s a particularly well-suited design for military application. Only the internal frame is the pistol and the grip and everything else can be swapped out for cheap replacement or tweaked to meet specific unit needs, and there are extended magazines and threaded barrels already on the market to boot.
The P320 can be upgraded to a full-size pistol and can be chambered for all major centerfire service cartridges from 9mm to .45 ACP, making it especially flexible, in addition to being an all-around solid polymer-framed striker-fired service pistol...

I’m leaving it to others to post photos, as I’ve tried to variants of the instructions that used to work for me, and they don’t anymore. It seems you have to open a photo account to post photos now. Maybe I’ll do that someday, but not today. Thanks.
Gimme a choice between .357, .45, and .50AE.
And make it not feel like a darn VCR tape in my hand.
I will never give up my beretta. I love it.
Thanx
OK, prove me wrong.
;-)
Looks like somebody left their Hk and SIG’s unchaperoned in the dark.....
Utility pistolas have their place....
Been packing a 357 Sig P229 for a while now.... Good performance when the 12 gauge isn’t at hand.
Stay safe !
That’s some clip fed automatic revolver!!!

I also pack a P229 and have both barrels in 357 and 40. I find the 40 with the lower muzzle velocity a bit easier to control during multiple shots. Also, I am not a fan of the new SIG due to the striker ILO the hammer. That is just me however. I’m sure all you Glock fans will disagree.
How come I am envisioning cheesy 70’s porn music during that unchaperoned moment?
Because gun porn is the best porn.
And the Hk has a porn ‘stache in my minds eye.
This is...terrible.
I’ve got an XD compact in .45 ACP. Its no SIG but its a nice little piece.
Ah, memories...
Have not laid hands on a XD yet but all I work with that possess one praise and applaud it as the best one can carry.... I will snag one when I pay my gun of the month dues .....::o)
Been stalking sod poodles and song dogs this year at extreme ranges so pistolas are CHL / CCW only fer now....//
Hope yer well Marine !
My assigned weapon at my current unit is a Sig 9mm. Nice pistol, I like it.
