Here are the facts. Sig Sauer’s new P-320 pistol is enjoying a considerable streak of publicity, in large part due to the U.S. Army’s adoption of the it as the service’s new handgun.

Introduced in January 2017, the X-Carry is basically a P-320 behind the trigger, with virtually the same grip module and grip length as the larger, full-size P-320 X-5.

Even before SIG Sauer won the U.S. Army contract for the XM17 MHS, the P320 pistol line had expanded to include several new models, like the P320RX Compact, which comes with the SIG Romeo1 optic.
