SIG Sauer originated as a partnership of Swiss and German gun manufacturers in the mid-1970s. The first gun the companies produced jointly, the P220, became an instant best seller. SIG has been making firearms ever since. The SIG Sauer P320 is for sale all over the internet in the United States.
SIG Sauer has responded to many tenders seeking to win contracts with a nation’s armed forces or police departments. One of the company’s few losses include a U.S. military tender where the gun lost the competition to the Beretta M9 in 1985.
The company persevered and in 2017 SIG landed a huge contract with the U.S Military to manufacture the SIG P320 as the standard issue pistol for the U.S. Army.
Whether competing with competitors for tenders or used by professional shooters, the SIG P320 is a great competition pistol.
SIG P320 in Use
The SIG P320 is accurate, versatile, and sturdy. It has everything a professional shooter could want.
When someone enters a shooting competition, the person needs a handgun that fits the shooter perfectly. Competitors take various things into consideration such as weight, grip, trigger pull, and size.
Most brands have certain models that come with certain features as standard, but usually not all.
SIG has addressed this problem by providing various options for one gun, the SIG P320, that allows a person to customize the gun to his or her standards.
You can change the grip size and module, the caliber, the frame, and the magazine. This makes it not only easy to fit your hand and comfort level but also makes it much less expensive to do so.
Part of the tender requirements of the recent U.S military contract that SIG won included requiring handgun that had replaceable components to avoid the past, very expensive and difficult logistically process of replacing the entire gun if one broke. This requirement was especially important during combat so soldiers could have a quick and easy way to get a weapon functioning again rather than shipping it back to the armory for a replacement.
One stand-out feature of the SIG P320 design, along with the parts replacement feature, is that SIG allows almost any upgrade you can think of. Shooters can add a silencer, laser sights and permits various optics options.
With the P320, shooters can even use different types of ammunition. If you run out of 9mm or find a good deal on .38, your P320 can handle it!
If you do not love how the weapon is after purchased, then you can simply modify it to fit your needs.
The handgun is also ambidextrous. The designers made sure left and right handed shooters could use the gun with equal ease.
Current Contracts
The United States and Danish armed forces use the P320 as their standard handgun. Police departments in the U.S, Thailand, and Norway also use the P320.
If the largest military in the world can trust the handgun to perform under extreme circumstances, then you can trust the handgun to do well in private competitions also.
Concluding Thoughts
Given all the positive design features and quality manufacturing techniques SIG puts into not only the P320 but all the weapons the company makes, accuracy is certainly part of the advantage of owning a SIG.
Overall, the P320 makes a great competition weapon for professionals and amateurs alike.
SIG Sauer has set a new standard for competitors to emulate, not only for companies bidding on government contracts, but also for companies that want to market quality competition pistols to the public.
