Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended grip pressure distribution for the SIG P320?

For optimal control and recoil management with the SIG P320, a grip pressure distribution of approximately 60% with your primary (strong) hand and 40% with your support hand is recommended. This balance helps minimize muzzle flip and maintain a stable shooting platform.

How should the strong hand be positioned for a proper SIG P320 grip?

Your primary (strong) hand should ride high on the backstrap of the SIG P320, ensuring the web of your hand is as deep as possible. This high grip, combined with aligning your forearm with the gun, helps minimize wrist angle for better control.

Where should the support hand be placed on the SIG P320?

The support hand should fill all available space under the trigger guard of the SIG P320, with your palm flat against your primary hand for maximum contact. Apply crushing pressure with the support hand, driving towards the primary hand to counteract muzzle flip.

What is the correct thumb placement for the SIG P320 grip?

For the SIG P320, your primary thumb should rest on the frame. Your support thumb can either stack on top of your primary thumb or lie parallel to it. Crucially, both thumbs must remain clear of the slide's travel to prevent malfunctions.
