Sig has announced a P320 XCOMPACT. Link

Sweet. I'll be picking up an X-Compact grip module for my P320, which currently sports an X-Carry. The X-series grip modules are a massive improvement over the standard grip modules.

I just hope they're compatible with the standard P320 Compact magazines, so you don't end up having to swap out baseplates on older mags, like with the other X-Series grips.

How is it different than the X-Carry?

How is it different than the X-Carry?

Shorter barrel (3.6" vs 3.9 for X-Carry)

Not as tall (5.3" high vs 5.5 for X-Carry)

Uses 15rd mags vs 17rd mags for X-Carry

OAL is 7" vs 7.4" for X-Carry

Weighs a few ounces less.

It looks like the rear sight isn't attached to the optics plate? My big complaint about my Xcarry is no rear sight to co witness with my Romeo. This solves that problem as well as making it more concealable.

I'd be interested in the grip module for this pistol, to apply to my existing compact, as opposed to buying a new pistol. Right now the P320 compact is is in an x-carry grip, which I have on compacts and the full size; I'd like to try the x grip in a compact size (and maybe even subcompact, if they go that route).

I'm confused.... I think this is what I bought back in September.... with the Romeo sights ....but maybe not the 'X' part... what exactly does that mean?

EDIT: I went to the Sig site and kind of figured it out... different Iron Sights, .2" shorter barrel and thus shorter gun... and looks like an indention in the grip just under the trigger guard. Slide looks different too...

I hope to look this over, thoughts of an M&P 2.0 Compact with the 3.6" barrel crossed my mind at the LGS Wednesday. Now there's a competitor.

I like the re-contoured grip and that the slide has no cut-outs like the X-Carry. Unfortunately they just had to slap a rail on it. I guarantee you w/in a few years, you will see a rail on the P210 from Sig, just because...

That might be the gun that gets me to finally buy a 320. They have a nice feature set there imo.

I still think they’re making a mistake in not making their 15 round guns no more than 5” in height. I carry appendix, so the 1/4” isn’t a big deal for me, but for 3:00 folks, that makes a real difference.

Thin it up a little, and would be perfect

Good looking gun that will sell well. It looks like Sig had the S&W M&P 2.0 Compact with the 3.6" barrel in it's sights when it designed this one.

Looks like I'll be picking up a grip module for my P320 RX Compact!

Will this frame work with that slide? Looks like this gun has a 3.6” slide and the RX Compact has a 3.9 slide.

I don’t know enough about the 320 to know. If it fits, will it result in a gap between the dust over and the frame?

Yes it will fit and it will look just like that on your compact slide.

Below is a Compact slide on a Subcompact-length grip module with a 15 round Compact magazine with adapter.

Note that the Compact slide overhangs the front of the grip module by 0.3".

I believe a Compact slide on an X-Compact grip module will look similar, and have the same slight overhang. The X-Compact is basically a Compact-length grip and magazine, with a Subcompact-length slide and front dust cover.

(The below combination fits perfectly well in P320 Compact holsters, and I suspect the same combo of a Compact slide with an X-Compact grip module will as well.)

Not from Sig, which you conveniently left out of my quote, but a custom job. I’m telling the forum now that if Sig Exeter continues to produce the P210, a rail is a-coming...
