The M18 is the General Officer's handgun, isn't it?

That’s not the M18. Just like the “M17” isn’t really an M17. Ever wonder why the military M17s didn’t have the trigger drop issue but the 320’s did? They have different internals and specs. The guns Sig is selling as the M18 and M17 are not the true guns. They are simply painted a color and cnc’d on the slide.

Sig acknowledged they were not the same when the “M17” was released, but folks still gobbled them up.

The Navy 226 (the original limited run) were the exact same gun and that’s what made them cool.

I'm holding out for the kryptek version.

Hmm, maybe if they offered it in black with a SIG PRO/RX slide, I might be interested. I'm not a fan of Baby Barf Brown.

It's optional.

My m-18 seems light years ahead of my Glocks, especially in fit and finish.

It looks just like an ugly 320 with a thumb safety. Nothing fancy.

I have a pair in black, both with the Compact-Small (15rd) grip modules, and I'm very fond of them.

Now if Wilson would just release the compact grip modules in black with the thumb safety cut...
