So solly Glock. But the Army goes with SIG!

In their statements, Army and Sig officials didn't specify what caliber the new Sig Sauer pistol will be.

Sig touts the P320 model product as "modular" and "adaptable," with interchangeable grips, multiple sizes and calibers that can be converted between 9mm, .357SIG and .40SGW. "From calibers, to pistol size, to the grip fit best suited for the shooter, the P320 is the most adaptable pistol available today," the company says in promotional materials.

Two sources confirmed to Military.com that Sig submitted to the Army .40-caliber and 9mm pistols for consideration. One source said the Army ultimately selected the 9mm version.

So it looks pretty much the same as the P320 with the exception of a Manual Safety as it appears. They have to have that Manual Safety thing, lol.

If they field it in 40, 40 caliber pistols will go from being impossible to sell/trade here to being the new hot thing.

my bet is they stay with 9

my bet is they stay with 9

I bet you're right. Even the Army knows 40 sucks

That's the dumbest thing the Army has done since the ACU's.

I prefer glock but sig does make a damn fine firearm. Very interested in the caliber they go with.

One of the major goals of the effort was to adopt a pistol chambered for a more potent round than the current 9mm.

Contradict yourself much Matthew Cox?

My guess is the army simply couldn't have enough Glock pistols stippled by our region's expert gunsmiths in time to meet the deadline.
