Magpul website shows that they are releasing new grip frames for the P320. Initially, they are releasing frames for the P320 compact and full size, with or without a manual safety. Colors available will be black and flat dark earth.

Interesting. I like that it has the trigger guard undercut of an X-grip with the more rounded profile of the traditional factory grip. And being Magpul I'm sure it's well-made. Corrosion is a real issue with the mag release button on the factory frames, too, so I'm glad they addressed that. I'm curious if they used polymer or some type of coated metal.

I do wish it had a "fence" for the slide catch lever to help prevent unintended premature slide-lock...it's something I see happen on a pretty regular basis with the X-grips and Wilsons. So far the standard factory modules are the only ones I know of that incorporate one.

The flared magwell is cool...I wonder if it works with standard 17-round mag base plates.

One size fits all? I like that factory frames have different grip diameters.

I wish the texturing went up considerably further. Just like the RTF2 texture from Glock.

I wish the aftermarket grip folks would make one for the .45 320!

Well at least their FDE pistol grip module will have a chance of actually color coordinating with one's FDE rifle, assuming use of Magpul furniture of course. Fashion coordination is all important, 'x-specially for all demm Utoob videos...

I'm not seeing anything 'special' about their reinterpretation. Aesthetically it's clean-looking, if a little bit dull and plain. Not a bad thing to me, but the Gucci crowd may not be swayed. A bit of frictional texture for the off-hand thumb; meh, I would've preferred a molded-in shelf like Shadow Systems does on their Glock clones. Looks like they've completely removed what little backstrap palm swell the SIG medium X-module had and made their backstrap more or less straight. Difficult to tell for sure but initial impressions from the Magpul images looks like they were a bit more generous with radiusing the face transitions from grip sides to front strap and backstrap; maybe less of the 'dimensional lumber' feel that some folks constant harp about regarding slab-sided grips. Hard to say about the stipple texture; I generally like what they do for their more aggressive texture AR grips; if this is similar I think that's something I could easily live with. Molding in the magwell flare ala Gen5 Glock is a nice touch but as voiced earlier, only if Magpul did the necessary homework and made sure that it accommodates all the magazine baseplate silliness that SIG has done/redone along the way with the 320 platform.

I typically find the factory X-modules set a fairly high standard when it comes to build quality and comfort. I've not had any real ergonomic complaints about SIG's design and enjoy shooting P320s with those modules in place. I might try one of these anyways once distributors get more of these from Magpul.

Maybe they'll being a SC option to market, too.
I've been wanting to try a SC with my C slide as a IWB option.

Will be interesting to see if they bring additional variants once these are out.

I look at all these other grip frames coming out and wonder why SIG didn’t do better themselves? The AXG is obviously a nice grip frame, but it just seems like SIG could have done a better job on the plastic for the 320 out of the gate. I’m coming around to the P320 and enjoy shooting my new duty gun, but the plastic still reminds me of the fish fill plastic hand guards that came on the first SIG 556 rifles. It’s not quite that bad, but the plastic does seem to be a bit lacking and I think the popularity of other companies’ grip frame offerings would support that hypothesis as well. The SIGPro guns were always so nice and super high quality, it seems unfortunate that SIG didn’t use similar plastic for these guns.

While I appreciate more options, this doesn't look like anything special. I think the SIG brand X-Carry grip looks and the texture is nicer.

I’ve been interested in this since getting my compact P320 and was thinking the same thing. Doesn’t seem like anyone makes a SC grip module, would be cool if Magpul does, I’d get one. My P320 compact and P226 grip/mag are almost the same height, would be nice to have a shorter grip for CCW.

Are the factory subcompact grip modules no longer available? I haven't looked in a while.

They haven't been available for several years now. Once Sig dropped the P320SC from production in 2019 the remaining available SC grip modules and X-Change kits ran out pretty quickly.

The success of the P365 starting in the mid/late 2010s was likely the death knell of the significantly larger (and not so accurately named) "subcompact" P320.

After all, it's chunkier than even the overly large (by today's standards) O.G. "subcompact", the G26... It's closer in size to the G19.

..365...G26...320SC...G19
L:.5.8...6.49...6.7...7.36
H:.4.3...4.17...4.7...4.99
W:.1.0...1.26...1.3...1.26
Oz:.18.5..21.71..24.9..23.65

I agree. Functionally it looks like they haven't done anything that Wilson Combat hasn't already done. Maybe people who don't like the "sunburst" pattern on the WC grips would go for this, but that's not me.

I have three P320s. Two of them are in WC grips and one is in a SIG X-grip. I'm plenty satisfied.

I was going to say price, but looks like the WC options are about the same $

As an option, Grayguns is doing the Laser Sculpted Grip Modules for the X-10 and P320 .45s.

Laser-Sculpted Grip Modules – P320 X-TEN & 45 ACP

Thanks Steve! But no joy. I want a compact grip frame.

I have Wilsons on all my 320's and 365's, except the 320 Legion which has a small TXG frame. I'll probably give these Magpul's a try and see how I like them. The modularity of the 320 along with the fact it is government issue is making it the AR of pistols.

That's a bummer. I have a couple, but haven't shopped for them lately. I knew they discontinued the SC, but wasn't aware that they killed all part support. I'm one of those weirdos who prefers the SC to the 365...there's not enough girth in the P365 to fit my hands.

I’m another weirdo, I like the feel of the Glock 26 and feel like a SC P320 would be about the same, plus I can throw my compact upper on it. The micro pistols just feel so small, I like a bit more girth, as well.

I tried that for a little bit, but it doesn't really gain you much of anything compared to just using a Compact/XCompact grip. The size savings is negligible, and you have a lower capacity and less substantial grip and beavertail in return.
