SIG SAUER Introduces P320-MAX 2.0 Competition Pistol

The SIG Sauer P320-MAX 2.0 is the latest edition of the competition-ready P320 MAX series. This is a dedicated 9mm competition pistol developed in collaboration with Max Michel, Team SIG captain and world-record holder. The updated design builds on the original P320-MAX, with enhancements aimed squarely at high-level competitive shooters.

At its core is the tungsten-infused TXG XFULL grip module for added weight and recoil control. The pistol features a flat, skeletonized trigger, extended wrap-around slide serrations (including top serrations for overhand manipulations), and a match-grade 5” bull barrel.

The ROMEO3MAX red dot (6 MOA) comes pre-installed, plus Hogue Wrapter grip tape and four 21-round steel magazines. That should be enough to start with for most people. There’s also a version with 10-round magazines, for those who need to have them.

Other key upgrades include a one-piece stainless steel guide rod and a Springer Precision magazine release. The P320-MAX 2.0 also ships with both 14 lb and 12 lb 1911-style recoil springs, allowing shooters to tune recoil to their preferred load.

The P320-MAX 2.0 seems to bring most, if not all, competition-focused upgrades in a factory-ready package. Considering how much time I’ve spent modifying my competition pistols, I’d say this is a great way for beginners (and pros, actually, but they probably wouldn’t admit it) to get into competition shooting with a huge shortcut on equipment. Time spent modifying is time lost training at the range (or the gym).
