Published on September 26, 2020
Duration: 17:20

This review of the Sig Sauer P320 M17, the US Army's new sidearm, highlights its modularity, consistent trigger pull, and comfortable ergonomics. The presenter, Hegshot, a long-time P320 enthusiast, details its technical specifications, including its 8-inch overall length, 4.7-inch barrel, and 29.6 oz unloaded weight. While praising its accuracy and reliability as a combat pistol, both reviewers note the trigger is heavier than other P320 variants and the safety can be obtrusive for some users. The M17 is presented as a capable, albeit not groundbreaking, evolution of the P320 platform.
