What To Consider When Shopping for a Sig Sauer P320 Holster

The Sig P320 Design and Shape

The P320 is a modular pistol design that offers some truly unique features. The fire control group inside of the P320 is the serial numbered part of the gun.

Per ATF regulations, this means the trigger group itself is the actual firearm, so all of the other components of the pistol can be changed. This setup makes it so the user can have one fire control group that is a full-sized .40 S&W pistol, a compact 9mm with a long or short grip, and subcompact .357 sig, all with one serial number.

All of these options simply by swapping grip frames, slides, barrels and magazines.

P320 Grip and Slide Length

The P320 has four different sizes of grip unit: full size, carry, compact, and subcompact. These each correspond to a slide length: full size, carry/compact, and subcompact.

The full size slides and barrels only work with the full size grip. Likewise, subcompact grip frames only correspond with sub-compact slide assemblies.

Each of the sizes is also available in different circumference modules, to account for the differences in human hands. The .40 S&W, 9mm and .357 Sig all use same size grip frames, while the .45 ACP uses a separate, larger frame.

Firing Mechanism

The P320, like the Glock, Smith and Wesson, and Springfield pistols, is striker-fired, meaning the striker acts as both the hammer and the firing pin. Depressing the trigger allows the striker to slam forward into the firing pin.

Most striker fired guns use a trigger that is two separate pieces that hinge together. These are in effect two stage triggers; the first step hinges the trigger together to allow rearward travel, the second stage fires the gun.

The P320 has a striker mechanism that is partially cocked by the trigger stroke, thereby eliminating the two piece design of the others. This gives the pistol a trigger more like a DA revolver, relatively long and heavy yet consistent and clean.

Sig P320 Uniqueness

The P320 is also unlike other striker fired pistols in that the trigger need not be depressed in order for the gun to be broken down. This is a first development among striker pistols, as Glock, Springfield XDs, and Smith and Wesson M&Ps have always required the user to depress the trigger to release the striker prior to disassembly.

This has led to many negligent discharges, through poor training on the part of the user. Proper safety includes always being aware of the status of your weapon’s chamber, magazine well, and magazine at all times period.

  1. Anyone know of a good IWB holster that covers the mag release? The 320 has a prominent mag release that when worn close to the body, in some situations, can activate. Most holsters do not cover it.
