The SIG Sauer M17 and M18 are handguns used by the United States Armed Forces.

On January 19, 2017, it was announced that a customized version of the SIG Sauer P320 had won the United States Army's XM17 Modular Handgun System competition. The full-sized model will be known as the M17 and the smaller-sized model will be known as the M18.[1]

Modular Handgun System Procurement

When the requirements were formulated for a new handgun for the U.S. Army one of the tenets of the proposal was that an existing model handgun was desired to fulfill the requirements laid out in the Modular Handgun System Request for Proposal, known as the XM17 Procurement. Sig Sauer submitted a P320 with a number of modifications and submitted them for the XM17 Modular Handgun System competition.

Modifications include:

  • Slide cut out to facilitate the addition of a reflex sight. (This is the slide from the RX Series) [2]
  • Ambidextrous thumb safety
  • Loaded chamber indicator
  • Improved slide sub-assembly to capture small components when disassembled
  • Improved trigger "mud flap" to prevent foreign debris from entering the pistol action
  • 4.7" 120 mm barrel length in full size M17
  • 3.9" 99 mm barrel length in compact M18
  • Chambered in 9×19mm Parabellum; unable to adopt other calibers or frames because of the anti-tampering device on the frame's chassis
  • Pistols chambered in 9mm can feature a 17-round magazine in standard with optional 21-round extended magazines available.[3][4]
  • Steel components are given a physical vapor deposition (PVD) corrosion-resistant finish[5]
  • Using spanner screws instead of normal screws to resist disassembly farther than field stripping by non-armorer users[6]

History

Sig Sauer wins the award

On January 19, 2017, it was announced that the SIG Sauer P320 MHS variant had won the United States Military's Modular Handgun System trials. The P320 is known as the M17 (Full-Size) and M18 (Carry) in U.S. Military service. Though the pistol will remain chambered in 9 x 19mm Parabellum rather than a larger caliber, the contract allows the Army and other services to procure Sig Sauer’s proposed XM1152 Full Metal Jacket and XM1153 Special Purpose ammunition.[7][8] The ammunition chosen to go with the pistol is a "Winchester jacketed hollow point" round; similar in appearance to the Winchester PDX1 round but with some differences to the design of the hollowpoint petals. The M17 has better accuracy and ergonomics and tighter dispersion than the M9 and will be fielded more widely, being issued down to squad and fireteam leaders.

Special forces dual-arm all of its members with a pistol and rifle. Junior leaders in regular infantry units who were previously excluded from carrying sidearms will be given more choices and options in close quarters battle situations under a new policy. All Army units are planned to have the M9 replaced with the M17 within a decade.[9][10]

U.S. military services adopt the M17 and M18

In May 2017, the Army announced that the first unit that will receive the M17 would be the 101st Airborne Division by the end of the year. At the same time, the rest of the U.S. Armed Forces revealed they also intend to acquire the handgun, making it the standard sidearm for the entire U.S. military. The services plan to procure up to 421,000 weapons in total; 195,000 for the Army, 130,000 for the Air Force, 61,000 for the Navy (M18 compact version only), and 35,000 for the Marines.[11][12]

The United States Marine Corps is replacing its M9, M9A1, M45A1, and M007 handguns with the Sig Sauer M18 handguns. The M9 and M9A1 were produced by Beretta while the M45A1 was made by Colt and the M007, which was only recently accepted as a variant, is made by Glock. [13]

Although it has been announced that the US Coast Guard is also adopting the M17/18 handgun there are no purchase numbers as yet.

Ammunition award

As part of the MHS procurement a new source for ammunition was solicited. The two types to be procured are the XM1152 and XM1153 now the M1152 and M1153. Olin Corporation (Winchester Brand) has received that award for approximately 1.2 Million rounds of ammunition. The ammunition mentioned here In the infobox is Winchester Civilian issue. [14]

Assessment recommendations

The first annual report for the XM17/XM18 Modular Handgun System (MHS) program assessment recommended the Army:[15]

  1. Upon identification of the root cause of the double ejections and ball ammunition relability problems, confirm fixes to both the XM17 and XM18 in future testing.
  2. Work with the vendor to identify and eliminate cause of variability in the manufacture of the trigger group mechanism.
  3. Consider redesign of the slide catch lever or operator training changes to prevent engagement by operators while shooting the pistol.

SIG Sauer P320 M17

The new 2018 SIG Sauer catalog features the Civilian version of the M17. It shows the new model to be in a color called Coyote and is very similar to the military M17. It is available with and without an external manual safety and is announced as being limited to a production run of 5000 units. [16]

Other purchasers of the P320

  • Denmark has selected the Sig Sauer P320 XCarry model to replace its current m/49 (Sig P210) handgun. This was the result of trials in which handguns from Canik (TP9 SF), Glock (Glock17 Gen 5), Smith & Wesson (M&P9 M2.0, out early due to not produced in Europe), Beretta (APX) were all tested.[17]
  • The Royal Thai Police have purchased 152,468 P320 handguns.[18]
  • Bismarck Police Department have adopted the P320. The department also tested the Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0, and the Glock 17 and 19. Police Chief Dan Donlin said, “The Sig Sauer, in the majority of opinions, outperformed the Glock,” Donlin said. “It provided a lot more overall comfort and handling in the varying hand sizes of our officers,” referring to the P320’s three grip module sizes. “The Sig, out of the box, was very accurate. Even our best shooters couldn’t believe how much better they shot with the Sig versus the Glock.”[19]
  • North Dakota Highway Patrol[20]
  • Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office[20]
  • High Point Police Department[20]
  • Oklahoma Highway Patrol[20]
  • Hawaii Department of Public Safety[20]
  • Pasco County Sheriff’s Department (Florida)[20]
  • Elkhart Police Department (Indiana)[20]

These are not the same as the M17/M18 but are closely related and will be sourced from the Sig Sauer Inc. factory in Newington, New Hampshire and the European site at Sig Sauer GmbH at Eckernförde, Germany.
