Made in NH.
It’s modular. Do your homework Glockboy.
RIGHT!
I will take a .45 Colt thanks.
None are made in Switzerland, and few, if any, are made in Germany. My P232, P2022, and X5 are my only Sigs made in Germany. My P226ST, P229ST, P220ST, and P239 were all made in Exeter, NH.
You’re out.
It’s not even the handgun itself that improved performance over the M92, apparently... It’s the “XM1153 Special Purpose ammunition” (hollow points) that may have been the primary performance improvement.
Beats the heckoli out of the Beretta.
All guns can be disassembled. What makes this one “modular”?
What do you an J think? Either of you seen or held one of these?

Can swap easily swap out grips, barrels and magazines to change the size and caliber... Full size, compact, subcompact... 9mm, .45, and others...
How do you rack the slide if your hands are sweaty? The pistol needs a slide racker — something like this: https://www.brownells.com/handgun-parts/slide-parts/slide-hardware/slide-rackers/ez-slide-racker-prod60444.aspx
Traditional DA/SA I hope?
I like them, too, but I’m too much of a Glock guy (6).
My father has the P320C and I have a WEST German P226 and a P229.
It looks like the frame and slide are made of plastic? If so, the Army now has a Mattel pistol to go with its Mattel rifle (M-16).
What makes you think that? Do you think the M16 and M4 receivers are plastic?
It's based on the P320. The M17 is full sized. The M18 is compact. The frame and slide are stainless steel. It's pretty much ambidextrous. It is DAO.
I'd rather it have a hammer, not a striker. My Sigs (made in the USA) are hammer fired. But, they do not have a safety, these do.
I was referring to the the look of the SigSauer, it looks like plastic for both in the photograph that was posted at the beginning of the thread. The M-16 I carried of and on for my 20 years in the army had metal upper and lower receiver groups and they LOOKED like the metal they were made of. Only the stock, grip and hand guards were plastic. I never used a M-4 so can’t say about it.
The frame is plastic like most modern combat pistols. The slide is metal with a cosmetic coating for color.
The P320 has a polymer frame - and so does the M17/18 by extension.

No other military thinks that’s necessary and Browning type short recoil pistols have been issued since 1911.
