Parts are often made by well-known manufacturers, ensuring quality and reliability. Key enhancements like precision-machined slides and metal grip modules are widely available. The compatibility with standard P320 magazines further simplifies upgrades. These options ensure that users can set up their firearms to match their shooting needs and preferences.

The P320 X Compact features this extended beavertail and includes the X-­frame’s high undercut triggerguard to promote a high grip and aid in recoil control. With the P320 being a chassis gun, what would normally be called the frame is just a polymer grip module attached to a stainless-­steel chassis that carries the fire-­control system. Shipped with a medium-­sized XCompact grip module, you can always purchase small or large sizes at sigsauer.com for $60. The P320 X Compact is a combination of features and benefits both from the P320 Compact series and the newer 2017 X-­frame pistols.

This user-friendly design makes it appealing to shooters of various skill levels, boosting reliability and simplifying maintenance. This can be especially beneficial for shooters with larger hands, ensuring their fingers have ample room for a comfortable grip. With the extended beavertail, the pistol is more suited for quick maneuvers and rapid repositioning. Glock’s latest generation of striker-fired handguns has dedicated holster fits from Safariland.

It features an X Series grip module, bull barrel, flat X Series trigger and a Nitron-finished stainless steel slide with a cut for mounting aiming optics. The TXG grip module has tungsten-infused directly into the polymer along with an attachable magazine well. The new US Army handgun requirements included a preference for an existing handgun model in the Modular Handgun System Request for Proposal, known as the XM17 Procurement. The XCompact size grip module is the smallest grip module SIG currently carries, as they have not released a subcompact X Series grip module to date. The full-sized model is known as the M17, and the compact carry-sized model is known as the M18.

I would recommend some Loctite Threadlocker Blue 242 and some time to cure. It’s not a custom fit, but rather a steel plate on top of the slide that’s held on by two recessed screws. Coupled with the darkened front sight, a refined sight picture was difficult to manage quickly. Attached to glock 19 gen 5 extended with beam , the rear sight is not adjustable for windage.

I will answer your burning question about holster fit. Some users find the Sig P320 X-Compact’s reduced magazine capacity a limitation compared to larger models. Both models maintain the ergonomic features typical of the P320 series. With so many available options, owners can easily tailor the Sig P320 XCOMPACT to fit individual styles and functional needs. Its design helps shooters maintain better contact and control during operation, adding another layer of reliability.

Replacement grip modules are only $60 at SIG’s website, and they’re available in black and, if you want to give your gun a two-tone look, coyote tan. If you’re of the same mind, you can hand stipple it, and if you screw it up, you’re just out a grip module and not a frame. Trigger pull on my sample was 5.5 pounds, which is pretty average for the XSeries guns I’ve shot. If you look closely, you’ll see that not only is the grip length shortened on this pistol, but SIG reduced the circumference of the grip, so it’s a shorter reach to the trigger. The only downside to this is that adding a red dot requires full disassembly of the slide, so it’s a more complicated operation than you might think.

Having the mounting plate next to the sight made the optics plate secure but added to the overall thickness of the rear sight. The previous generation had the rear sight built into the optics plate which worked but the mounting screws locked into the plate next to the rear sights. Probably the biggest change between the older XCompacts compared to the new RXP is the undated optics cut and rear sight assembly. Over the last couple of months, I’ve carried the SIG P320 RXP XCompact and wondered if the changes were worth swapping out my standard XCompact for the new model. In the past few years, there have been a number of great little concealed carry options hitting the market.

We’re partnering with Ruger to giveaway a Limited Edition Stainless Ruger SR built for shooters who value precision and craftsmanship. The only downside is I have had trouble with holster compatibility. One thousand plus rounds through it so far, still no malfunctions. Feels great in my hands and I have big hands and fits perfectly. Out of the case it shot flawlessly.

It offers options most of us would turn to the aftermarket to get.The Sig P320 XCOMPACT is for the very pickiest of shooters or those who don’t want to bother with upgrades. I would suggest a holster with a sweat guard because those serrations may rub the wrong way without it.At 1.3 inches wide, it’s not too tough to accommodate most shooters. You can also customize the P320 quite easily due to the FCU.You can also use the 17 and 21 round magazines available for the P320 full-size standard and full-size X series in the compact model at the sacrifice of size. It would have been a perfectly fine, and perfectly capable striker-fired pistol in full-sized, compact, and subcompact models. Whether you prioritize the precision and optics of the 10+1 model or the advanced grip and higher capacity of the 15+1 RXP, both variants deliver exceptional performance and reliability.

With this setup, the Sig P320 XCompact is well-suited for those looking for reliability and efficiency. Nitron is known for its resistance to rust and corrosion, ensuring that the firearm maintains its appearance and functionality over time. This quality can be beneficial in high-pressure situations where reliability is crucial.
