Default Sig P320

Hey all,

Just looking for opinions on the sig 320. what does it compare to? is the 226 worth the extra cash?

Thanks!!

I shot a box of ammo through a friend's .40 cal and liked it better than the 226 that I own. I found that the 320 had a very mild recoil compared to other 40 cals that I have shot and I think that this is because of a lower bore axis unlike the 226 which has a relatively high bore axis.

I bought one about three weeks ago, on a whim. Im actually very pleased with it, even with its higher bore axis, I find it incredibly easy and comfortable to shoot (mine is in 9mm). Comes with a medium grip, I bought a large as well but really don't think I will need it. This will be a keeper for me.
Shot an old school cz75 and 92f for years, and loved them. Even ran a few thousand through my 226, but this will be my new favourite by far.
Holster that comes with it is not great, but it's not bad. Best purchase of the year(thus far) for me.

Forgot to mention, in my opinion, I would definitely do the p320 over the 226 any day. I love how the 226 looks and feels, but honestly for me the p320 just felt great and shot better. Personal preference, but my 226 will stay home for a while now.

Have a 320 and 226, previously had a M&P as well. Prefer the 320 though both are nice. Also shoot the 320 better.

Comes down to preference though, all metal da/sa vs polymer striker fired. Have a caliber xchange kit for 9 mm and 22 which is fun. Having the 22 slide for it is nice.

If I had to do it again I'd just go with the 320 and spend the extra money on 9 mm ammo for all the shooting I do. Nice having a 22 for new shooters though

I'm too invested in my P226s, P229s, and P220s to say I like the P320 better...but I shot one and was very impressed. I still prefer my Ps, and like the DA/SA (not a fan of striker fired), but you could do a lot worse for an auto. There is a reason (besides the low cost of $207 USD from what I understand!) why the US is converting to them as a sidearm from the Beretta 92.....But I still like my P226 better.
