SIG Sauer Introduces M17-SOF
Almost ten years ago, when the U.S. Army announced that a customized version of the P320 had won the XM17 Modular Handgun System competition, the pistol that emerged became one of the most recognizable sidearms in the world. Now SIG Sauer is taking that platform in a more purpose-built direction with the M17-SOF, which the company describes as "A Mission-Focused Evolution of the M17."
The M17-SOF builds on the M17 platform with a focus on control, ergonomics and overall performance - and it looks the business! At the top sits the familiar M17 slide, finished in Coyote stainless steel with a ROMEO-M17 red dot already mounted at the factory. SIG says this gives shooters fast, intuitive sight acquisition without the need for a separate optic purchase or a trip to the gunsmith.
The pistol has an overall length of 9.125 inches, a width of 1.75 inches, a height of 6.25 inches and a weight of 32.8 ounces with a magazine. Sight radius is 6.875 inches, and the optic sits on the M17/M18 MHS footprint. The M17-SOF is covered by the SIG Sauer Infinite Guarantee.
At the time of writing, the product page lists the M17-SOF as "Coming Soon", and there is no price listed yet.

Even if this one doesn't include SIG's off-patent version Taurus's famous shake-awake feature, I'm just never going to be able to take a firearm seriously when it looks exactly like a life-size version of a gun from a dollar store action figure.
Is it actually a 320, or is it a 385 dressed up like a 320?
