I'd like to know more about that 10mm pistol in the video. Is that dressed up like a Legion gun? More info please. Thank you.

It's not dressed up like a Legion, it IS a Legion. That was the Legion pistol display.

HKs and lots of Walthers use it. More common in Europe.

I don't think I've ever seen one in person. I'll have to look more closely.
God bless America.

New, or relatively new are... The slip-on grip for the P320. This sample is not textured but it will be textured during final production. It felt very comfortable.
The 1911 compact rounded heel mainspring housing...
A new wider profile 226 grip with a flared magaine well. The flare is optional like the one shown below and they will have a version that does not protrude past the magazine floor plate
This may not be news to you, but it is news to me. They also offer firearm specific knives. They machine all blades in-house and they send the blade to be finished by the same company that does the finishing on your Sig or HK firearm. So for example, say you have a 226 Legion, they make a knife that has the SIG logo and has had the blade finished using the exact same process as the Sig Legion.
Tony.
I really like those P226 grips. Even the color.

If you run into a Sig rep, could you ask if they plan on making available P320 grip modules, full size, with the X5 style grips? This would be: Flat sides Higher beavertail More undercut trigger guard

^^^ What he said, please. I can live with the grip on the 320F, but sure wouldn't mind doing a little better.
And another thanks to you and Bruce for the interview. "I've been trying to kill it....and I can't." Hah!

I managed to get an interview with Bud Fini of Sig Sauer Ammunition. For those of you who go way back on the forum, he took Earhardt's place in marketing when he left Sig. He's now VP of Sig Sauer Ammunition.
Not sure if it was asked or if anyone happens to know, but did Smith & Wesson happen to mention if they were going to be releasing a Black 5" M2.0 9mm without a manual safety or tactile LCI any time soon? I see on the website they have the FDE listed in this configuration but no black yet.

I called Sig Monday morning, and was told that the X5 Carry grip modules, which is what the X-VTAC uses, are available for $59 each. They will be shipping the size Medium in about two weeks, but have no date on the size large.
The Sig rep told me that in hand, the medium feel slightly smaller than the regular medium. I assume that is because material has been removed from the sides of the grip.
