The centerpiece of the P320’s modularity is the serialized, stainless steel frame and fire controls.
Absolute elation was short-lived after being informed that we wouldn’t be taking these magnificent cases with us at the end of the day for an in-depth review, so we wasted no time delving into the SIG-rich war chests to maximize our limited exposure to them while we could. The floor of the case was overrun with a dozen grip modules reflecting the aforementioned four available sizes and three available colors: black, flat dark earth (FDE) and olive drab green (ODG). The pistol cases we were issued contained a jaw-dropping assortment of 9mm pistol combinations.ĭisplayed as the centerpiece of each case was a serialized, stainless steel P320 frame surrounded by four 9mm slide/barrel combos representing the spectrum of P320 sizes the full-size slide was equipped with SIG Sauer’s Romeo1 miniature reflex sight. The serialized frame and fire controls can be removed from the grip module without tools and reinstalled in grip modules ranging in size (full size, carry, compact and subcompact) and mated with correspondingly sized slide/barrel combinations (caliber changes are also possible between 9mm/.40 S&W/. My day at the SIG Sauer Academy began with a welcome presentation and compulsory range brief, at the conclusion of which the most badass pistol case I’ve ever seen was laid before me.Īs has been widely reported, the SIG P320 is a modular platform, striker-fired pistol. Army’s Modular Handgun System (MHS) solicitation, as there’s been a fair of amount ink spilled on that development. You may have heard that a variant of the P320 was selected in January 2017 to replace the M9 Beretta in the U.S. The ticket for my inaugural visit to the SIG Sauer Academy was a writer’s event centric to the SIG P320 pistol. In 2007, the SIGARMS Academy was renamed the SIG Sauer Academy.

After 2001, the desire and capacity to train civilians grew along with the 140-acre facility, which added multiple indoor and outdoor ranges, the region’s only 1,000-yard range, multiple live-fire shoot houses, urban environments, force-on-force training, a maritime training area and a well-stocked pro shop. The Epping, New Hampshire, facility opened its doors as the SIGARMS Academy in 1996 with an indoor range, two classrooms, a gun vault and an objective to train law enforcement and military entities. The pistol cases issued at the SIG Sauer Academy contain a jaw-dropping assortment of P320 combinations. The SIG Sauer Academy was an unchecked box on my bucket list, so I enthusiastically accepted an invitation to a media event at the New Hampshire training facility last fall. Shooters’ bucket lists include guns we want to own (or at least shoot) and places we’d like to train.
