Yet another striker-fired, polymer-framed 9mm pistol. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/sig-sauer-will-sell-p320-custom-works-fire-control-units-and-roll-out-the-p320-collective\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fire control unit (FCU)<\/a> concept was novel, but of course there wasn\u2019t yet much aftermarket to support the existence of it.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to today and the P320 line of pistols has expanded tremendously (now 23 options including a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/sig-sauer-opens-the-new-custom-works-p320-fcu-and-p320-studio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stand-alone FCU<\/a>) and the aftermarket community has rapidly grown with SIG\u2019s support. I too have grown as a shooter with more trigger time, experiencing a couple hundred more firearms, and attending half a dozen or so more major shooting schools.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time for a more current look at the P320. Take a look at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sigsauer.com\/p320-xcompact.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">P320 XCompact<\/a> in the tabletop video below.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sig P320 XCompact Tabletop Review and Field Strip\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h9U1l0MSiGU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The P320 XCompact puts a 3.6\u2033 barrel on a 15-round frame, but one of a slightly different shape than the base P320. It also incorporates the flat-bade trigger from SIG\u2019s X line.<\/p>\n<p>The grip module used for the XCompact visually appears a bit odd and contrasts with the smooth lines of the regular P320 line with blocky contours. The effects of this shape ended up surprising us on the range.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_529040\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-529040\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-529040 size-large\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=\" http:=\"\" alt=\"SIG SAUER P320 XCompact 9mm Pistol\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_5072-SharpenAI-Softness-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_5072-SharpenAI-Softness-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_5072-SharpenAI-Softness-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_5072-SharpenAI-Softness-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_5072-SharpenAI-Softness-2048x1151.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_5072-SharpenAI-Softness-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_5072-SharpenAI-Softness-696x391.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_5072-SharpenAI-Softness-1068x600.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_5072-SharpenAI-Softness-1920x1079.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_5072-SharpenAI-Softness-747x420.jpg 747w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_5072-SharpenAI-Softness-560x315.jpg 560w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_5072-SharpenAI-Softness-700x394.jpg\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-529040 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_5072-SharpenAI-Softness-700x394.jpg\" alt=\"SIG SAUER P320 XCompact 9mm Pistol\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_5072-SharpenAI-Softness-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_5072-SharpenAI-Softness-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_5072-SharpenAI-Softness-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_5072-SharpenAI-Softness-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_5072-SharpenAI-Softness-2048x1151.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_5072-SharpenAI-Softness-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_5072-SharpenAI-Softness-696x391.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_5072-SharpenAI-Softness-1068x600.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_5072-SharpenAI-Softness-1920x1079.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_5072-SharpenAI-Softness-747x420.jpg 747w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/IMG_5072-SharpenAI-Softness-560x315.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-529040\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The grip module is surprisingly comfortable, but leaves the slide lock\/release unfenced.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We tested the pistol\u2019s ability to run a full magazine plus one, digest ten different loads including hollow points, FMJ, TMJ, brass, steel, and plated cases, how easy it was for two shooters to learn the sights and trigger for timed shots, and performed a practical accuracy test before giving our concluding thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>You can witness all of that, unedited, in the shooting impressions video below.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sig P320 XCompact Shooting Impressions\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dTVbQ0OSWCQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Aside from the un-gated slide stop causing one premature lock-open, the pistol was very easy to master as both Teya Freeman and I found ourselves not only shooting well, but enjoying the experience.

various projectile types and weights, not one of them malfunctioned. The only issue experienced was user error when bumping the slide lock during recoil.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ergonomics * * * * *<\/strong><br \/>Goldilocks-like traction\u2026just the right amount with a shape that fit both my XXL-glove and Teya\u2019s M-glove hands.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Accuracy * * * * *<\/strong><br \/>Mechanical accuracy that can be practically applied thanks to a predictable trigger and excellent (personal preference) sites.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Concealability * * * *<\/strong><br \/>The beaver tail may print depending on carry location, holster choice and cover garment. Some may shy from carrying a traditional double stack gun, but with a 3.6\u2033 barrel carrying the P320 XCompact is plenty comfortable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Overall: * * * * *<\/strong><br \/>I was very impressed with the shooting performance of this sized-for-versatility pistol. With the FCU concept there\u2019s no reason to not be happy with a P320 as any other grip module, slide and barrel combination can easily be swapped out for far less hassle and expense than purchasing a complete other gun. That makes it very hard not to be happy with a P320 XCompact.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/gun-review-sig-sauer-p320-xcompact-9mm-pistol-2\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The optics-ready SIG SAUER P320 9mm pistol I must admit that when the SIG P320 first came out I found it rather uninspiring.
