After one of the strictest and most demanding selection processes for service pistols ever conducted by the armed forces of any state, the contract for a Modular Handgun System (MHS) for the U.S. Army was awarded to Sig Sauer in fierce competition against the world's best pistol manufacturers.
The Sig Sauer M17 pistol is a platform based on the P320 model and was selected as the service weapon for the U.S. armed forces due to its unique innovative modularity, uncompromising performance and unmatched capabilities. The Sig Sauer P320-M17 9×19 caliber is an exact replica of the U.S. service pistol M17.
Immediately after the announcement that the M17 pistol would be the next service weapon for the U.S. armed forces, there was an immediate and enormous interest in the pistol from other U.S. security forces and the civilian sector. Therefore, Sig introduced the Sig Sauer P320-M17 9×19 caliber model in record time. At Sig, they thus satisfied significant civilian interest in the M17 pistol and the high demand for this weapon used by the army as well as other branches of the U.S. military.
The Sig Sauer P320-M17 in 9×19 caliber pistol features a strike fire system. The pistol has a stainless steel slide with a PVD coating in coyote brown color with the same cutout for optical devices as specified for the military MHS system. The Sig Sauer P320-M17 in 9×19 caliber also has black control elements just like the pistols supplied to the U.S. Army.
The Sig Sauer P320-M17 in 9×19 caliber is equipped with Siglite front sight and a removable rear plate with Night Sight, which facilitates aiming in low-light conditions.
The Sig Sauer P320-M17 in 9×19 caliber comes with a polymer interchangeable frame/handle module in coyote brown color. This frame is available in three sizes, making it possible to adapt the weapon to any hand. The weapon is equipped with ambidextrous control elements and an ambidextrous manual safety.
The Sig Sauer P320-M17 is chambered in 9×19mm Luger (9mm NATO). The 9mm Luger is a standard caliber for NATO forces and many police and military units worldwide. It can be said without exaggeration that it is the most widespread pistol cartridge of today. This caliber offers a good balance between stopping power, control during shooting and magazine capacity.
The Sig Sauer P320-M17 is known for its accuracy, reliability and durability, making it suitable for military, police and civilian use. The strike fire design ensures consistent operation and a short trigger reset.
