Does it look as good as an all stainless 10mm 2011 with a six inch barrel? Most likely not if you ask around.
Has anyone bought a Glock because it was pretty?
Anywho, please add a little more info to your thread title for the rest of us. Thanks.

The M17 has great ergonomics, smooth trigger, and is a complete tack driver. It is a big gun too big for concealed carry. But for a range gun, hard to beat. They now offer a black version know as the P320 Bravo.
I like the M17 Bravo. While the standard color is not my favorite, the Bravo/black version was actually aesthetically pleasing, to me. I think the half rail/dust cover of the M17 is much more visually attractive than the standard full length on the 320.
The M17 with shortened dust cover, manual safety, and 6-7 pound relatively crisp trigger is IMO for the army brass that chose it - a 9mm polymer 1911. The safety is in the same place, proportions are similar, grip angle, etc.
Add a flat tigger and the different in leverage point gets you under 5 lbs. Then you can get the small or large "carry" sized frames (coyote available with the safety cut, black you have to get the cut done) and find the best size. The full and compact frames will work - compact for 15 round flush fit, full for more rail space, along with the X-full and X-carry frames. I'm waiting for small X-frames to be available to try.
Mine shoots very well, easy and accurate.
Now, will Sig offer the M18, or a top-end kit to convert M17 to M18? That would be nice.

Personally, I like the look. But what I really like is the performance. I have not handled a 320 yet that wasn't a natural pointing, straight shooting pistol. And if anybody didn't already know, it's not a shortened dust cover. It's just a standard carry grip. You guys do know you can put a carry grip on your standard full size slide and have that same look, right?
