And the gold pimp slide doesn't ?

No gold. Sig calls it FDE. Certainly not my favorite but I got a FDE pistol for $250 unfired. I don’t hate it enough to send it off to our friend coyotekiller for the Molyresin treatment but I certainly am thinking about it.

Thanks for expanding on your thoughts.

For what it's worth - I don't see how you could have turned it down as new for $250.
So, live with the "Goldfinger" look

A lot of these enhancements remind me of the tricked out P-38s they did up for the old TV show The Man from U.N.C.L.E

I confess to having a couple of factory Glock 33 rd. 9mm mags, one 20 something rd. capacity 40/357 Glock factory floor plate, and a 20 rd. SIG 9mm magazine for a 226 or even a 228, but in total frankness, I have never shot any of them.

It's a good nightstand item: but obviously not for concealed carry. Really not for most open carry scenarios either.

I got the email about this yesterday. I should click the promo and see what they cost. Even if I never use it.

$60 and already out of stock.

Personally I think it is stupid.
I don't even like the 20-21 round mags...
but then I bought into the Legion marketing.....

A lot of non Glock guns are made to use the 30 rd Glock mag and beretta mag…nice to have for a sig but also might get used by other manufacturers for carbines etc

It may be impractical in standard P320 pistols, but the P320 is a modular firearm. There are at least three PDW chassis which use the P320 FCU, plus the B&T Pistol/SBR/SMG lower and the CMMG AR pattern rifles and pistols which use the P320 magazine. All of which are practical applications for a 30 round magazine.

My agency issues the P320 and we have been issuing the 21 round factory magazines to some of our people including firearms instructors and our SRT team members. They don’t effect the balance, handling or reliability of the gun and in a fight, bullets are opportunities.

I've been seeing more and more LE with extended magazines in their GLOCKs and SIGs lately.

The P320 is going to become even more popular, especially the aftermarket. Don't be surprised to see more and more P320 FCU's used in some sort of chassis pistol carbine.

These 30 round mags are ideal for pistol caliber carbines.

Mine arrived today! They look good and have an extended base similar to the old ten round P220 mags. I always hate to spend $60 per but after stocking HK SP5k mags they almost seem reasonable.
SIG supplied an extra plain base plate for other applications.

I would expect that this was driven specifically by the B&T APC9 Pro being accepted by the US Army as the new subgun PDW. Pretty nice setup to have your 320 and your B&T share the same mags. You could have around 180 rounds while only carrying 7 magazines on you. Seems like a pretty decent set up for to me.

Prior to this, the only factory 30 round magazine available for 320 based platforms that I have been aware of was the ETS translucent mags. I did not have enough confidence in those to go through with picking up a matching B&T with the Sig lower. Now with factory standard sub gun capacity mags available, it makes it even more likely for me to pick up a coyote tan version when the right one comes along.

Well that makes since .... I've always liked the ability to have one mag with ammo that could go between a pistol and a rifle. In fact it is the only reason I own a Glock.

Exactly. A B&T with a sling and a tailhook on the telescoping rails along with your choice of 320 frame size, could be fairly easily covered by a variety of jackets. Combine that with the advancements made in soft body armor, if your job is providing covert protection or working in high risk areas, this would be tough to pass on. Especially if you can get the select fire B&T.

Goddammit now I need a B&T APC9K Pro S! There's another 2.5K I wasn't planning to spend.

Actually my HD guns are P320's (M17 and M18 in the quick open safe) so I bought a Banshee that takes P320 mags. The 21's were a little small, but these new 30's will be fine. I said a little while back, sooner or later someone will make 30 rounders because the P320 is military issue now. Sig is the first surprisingly.

One the whole brace thing shakes out I might get the B&T...
