Sig 320 small frame/grip

If you happen to find them in stock, please let me know because I need to get another one myself for when I pick up my P320. That way I can have one for both the P250 and it lol.
 
Interchangable backstraps and side grips are nice, but they don't change the most inportant dimension, the circumfrence at the top of the grip where the web of the hand (between the thumb and forefinger) meets the gun. This dimension direclty determines the trigger reach.

The Sig Grip Modules vary this dimension.

I have never been comfortable with any service caliber double stack handgun. The worst example for me was the Glock 26. I can't my small hand around the grip to adequately control the handgun. The best I had found was the XD-9 Tactical 9mm. The P320 Compact, with the Medium grip module was a bit of an improvement for me, but the firearm transformed when I got the Compact Small grip.

Even Though I don't need it, I also bought the Compact large grip module. At the range I can swap out grip frames in under 30 seconds, for shooters with different hand sizes.

Also, the exchangeable grip modules make cleaning the gun super easy. Simply field steip and pull the Fire Control Group, spray it down with cleaner and brush clean.

Actually on the M&P and to an extent the Gen 4 Glock they actually do achieve this.
 
Curious about holsters for the 320... Would you need a different holster for different size grip frame modules? Another way of asking is if holster-makers need to use different forms for different model.

As I understand it, for each "Frame" size, there are grip frames available with small, medium and large grips. So you could have a Full-Full, Full-Medium or Full-Small.

I would think that the frame size would be what is important in holster fit. I believe that if you have two guns with the same size "frame" but with different "grip" sizes that they would still fit in the same holster.

I doubt that different frame sizes would fit into the same holster unless it was a holster made so that the length of the dustcover didn't matter. A belt-slide or something similar probably would work regardless of the dustcover length.
 
John is correct. The small, medium, and large size frames for each size to not effect holster compatibility. Similarly, a compact or carry size will fit into a full size holster, just a little short (think g19 fitting in a g17 holster).

I'm not sure how that works with the small subcompact size as it has the different shaped trigger guard and no rail... It should fit, perhaps with a little wiggle room. The medium and large subcompact grips do have the normal rail and trigger guard, I believe. Seems strange, but I actually really like the idea and it's super comfy in the hand.
 
May I hijack a second? We have accumulated all the P320 experts and I can't imagine this question would be answered out side of this thread...


Can a subcompact grip and full size slide work together? I imagine there would be some spring showing at the bottom...but yes?
 
You are correct. It will work, but the dust cover on the full size slide won't cover all the way. It does cover on the compact, but there is a gap on the subcompact.
 
Have we got any confirmation on the new "carry" frame when used on the full size slide?

I seen a report that the "carry" frame will expose the recoil spring... but the compact does not, and they use the same size slide... So I'm not sure if I should get a "carry" frame or not.
 
This thread isn't caliber specific, so this might be a slight detour, but I'd be interested in hearing some shooting experiences of the P320 45 with the various grip sizes - differences in felt recoil, accuracy, etc. There is still surprisingly little info out there on the P320 45.
 
Still new, info should start trickling out soon.

45 is not as popular a caliber in the poly strikers as 9mm and 40. I see relatively few on shelves when shopping.
