Picked up the same full size 320 in 9mm just a few weeks ago got to run around 120 rds so far no problems . I went looking for a late build gun and a lot of places did not have any.

NO bad triggers but 1 has been so so while one has been good and one has been really good. Bought a Robert Burke full size gun and it is super. These guns are easy to shoot well...even for novices. Cant give a higher recommendation.

As far as the triggers go, my recent P320RX is not as good as my early P320 FS out of the box. This is probably why my groups with it are also not as good with or without the RDS using the same types of ammo and distance etc. I did notice the barrel hoods are marked differently, not sure if there are any other barrel differences aside from the laser etching or whatever it is. Either way, I'm liking my P320's.

Put the FS FCU in the RX. Then when you want to shoot the FS, move it back.

That's what I did! My SCR FCU had a substantially smoother pull, so I swapped it into my comp FCU with the GG kit. Feels like glass rods breaking.

As far as the C in the barrel hood of the RX, I noticed that also. I have noticed that my RX barrel seems to be wearing almost not at all, which makes me think they either cherry picked the barrels and/or have fit barrels to slides.

The early gun reads "Sig 9mm para" the RX reads "9mm X 19"

I do plan to swap them next trip.

Bought one last year and ditto. FS guns were hard to find and they were all 2015 production with the older parts.

In one of the P320 threads you posted a list of changes between the first versions of this pistol and later production, but, I'll be darned if I can find it.

The two biggies are a change in ejector cuts on some slides and a difference in slide mass. The newer slides are heavier. For whatever reason, SIG kept trying to make the gun function with an obscure 97 grain frangible round, and went too far the other way to where it caused problems with normal people rounds.

I want to make my own slide so bad that I can't stand it. A true heavy slide with no lightening cuts to see if there is any performance value going the other way. There is a significant difference running a heavier slide on the full size. I just wonder if it poses the same value on the compact.

Ok, but, you also mentioned (from memory): A change in the trigger, the slide release (or the grip frame area surrounding it?), the profile of the take-down lever? Others?

ISTR you saying most of these have been in place since 2015? But, then, above, you mention "most guns made after mid-2016."

I plan on just shooting the thing. It'll either work for me or it will not. But, I am curious.

The changes in slide mass and cuts on the COMPACTs took place wide scale last summer some time. It was a phasing out of old inventory with new, so there is not an exact "On JULY 15". This slide mass and cuts really only had an affect on the compact guns. The full sized guns never really had any functioning problems.

The rest of the changes you mention were gradual. The adverse trigger was phased in, as were the changes in the take down levers and the minor changes to the grip modules.

I'm not really hot nor cold on the changes or generation of guns myself. I guess my rule of thumb would be if I didn't specifically want any of the upgrades one way or another, I'd buy a FULL SIZE manufactured any time. I personally wouldn't buy a COMPACT that was manufactured prior to mid-late summer of last year. Yes, SIG will make it right, but for everything I can see in classes and personal use, the later quarter of last year COMPACTs are good to go.
Also, bear in mind that the problems with the COMPACTs only seem to be the 9mm guns, I guess I should clarify. There were never any reports of FTF/FTE on the other calibers. The slides are heavier on the other guns by design. The 9mm COMPACT was hit and miss for the longest of time. I couldn't keep my first one running and had to get rid of it.

Fair enough. How do you like the P250?


Ok let me rephrase that....I only buy Sigs that have a hammer and are DA/SA....that better?

FWIW . . . Love my P250C!
I was my first SIG.

Already did, back in early 2015 not long after the started showing up, a 320 carry 9mm, later converted to a compact. And yes I did, just picked up a second 320 compact 9mm this evening.

TXPO

Guilty here too. I was thinking about picking one up anyway (love the modularity and simplicity), but if I'm being honest the Army's recent adoption of it probably gave me that last little push over the fence and I came home with my compact last night. Not that I am a junkie for all things government or anything, but I'm guessing that, possible insider politics aside, there was probably a fairly extensive test done on the various entries submitted, and I doubt the 320 would have come out on top if it hadn't been at least as serviceable as the other contenders. Besides....that trigger!

"You will buy a 320."

Yep. I picked up a Carry last year and once I got a large grip module I liked it enough that I added a Full Size and a Subcompact, all in 9mm. I still have a few classic Sigs but my 320s are pretty much all I carry and shoot on a regular basis now. They shoot great and I'm much less concerned about keeping them perfectly cleaned and lubed.

I have a Compact grip module and some 15-round mags coming for the Carry to change it up a bit. A local buddy buying his first handgun just got a Compact and he loves it.

Well thanks to a favorable tax return and Osage, I have bought a P320.

The problem is, it brings be a small step closer to actually buying a Glock. I've got the VP9, PPQ, and now P320. Now I'm looking at HAVING to buy an example of each striker fired gun. The M&P 2.0 has me curious. Maybe the Ruger American. An FN? If I go down that road, I'll be forced to buy a Glock just because!

As a Glock owner, and P classics owner, I can say that shooting poly striker guns make my da/sa Sigs feel awkward and slow.
I shot a P320 and was duly impressed. To be honest, I don't have an interest in da/as guns anymore.
Is that bad?

I have a West German P226 with Hogue piranhas on it. It is a heck of a shooter, but I shoot a mag through it and I'm done. I may liquidate it for a 320.

I own a P228 and P229 and have owned a P226 in the past. It was only ever steel for me. I finally took the plunge on a Glock 19. This P320 looks interesting so maybe it will be next but I want to start with the G19 first.

I do think the compact P320 looks entirely too stubby though. Maybe one without a rail...

Not to be a PITA, but wouldn't that mean you'd HAVE to buy the Remington? I would urge you to give yourself permission to limit your battery to the ones you arbitrarily decide are "good" and just as arbitrarily like.

Put it this way - I love 9x18 Makarovs, but I don't want a P64.

I almost did want a Glock. The Gen 4 actually felt decent with the grips and large mag release. Unfortunately there's still the angle of the dangle. So no Glock for me unless they completely change what they're about.

Or until my daughters get old enough...I'd buy them a Glock if they wanted.

Well if your going for the Grand Slam...don't forget the CZ P-10C. And if the APX ever hits the U.S. market you'll have to get the Beretta as well. And then there's Springfield...
