Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Sig Sauer P320 platform modular?

The Sig Sauer P320's modularity stems from its serialized Fire Control Unit (FCU), which can be easily removed and transferred between different grip modules and slide assemblies, allowing for quick changes in size, caliber, and configuration.

How can I convert a Sig P320 from 9mm to .357 Sig?

You can convert a Sig P320 from 9mm to .357 Sig by purchasing a P320 X-Change Kit in .357 Sig. This kit includes a slide, barrel, recoil spring, and magazine. You then remove the FCU from your current grip module and install it into the new grip module with the .357 Sig slide assembly.

What is the B&T USW chassis for the P320?

The B&T USW (Universal Service Weapon) chassis is an accessory that allows you to convert your Sig P320 pistol into a Short Barreled Rifle (SBR) configuration. It typically includes a folding stock and provides a more stable platform for optics and shooting.

Does the Sig M17 have a manual safety?

Yes, the Sig Sauer M17 pistol, designed for US military adoption, includes a manual safety. This is a key difference from some standard commercial P320 models, which may not feature one.
