I think the SAO trigger upgrade is only 50$, but I like the extra safety of da/sa. I also didn't like the sights on the legion. I do prefer a little of an "old school" aesthetic tho.
I'm a glocker person, so this may be a little hypocritical, However, the P320 looks like a plastic block that a designer forgot to finish molding. It just looks akward and cheap.
I owned a a Sig P229 before I went to the Glocks. And I like the steel pistol, but for whatever reason it consistantly shot about 4" lower than I was aiming.
Ended up selling it a year later and just never got the love for it.
Bought a glock. Now I have 4.
If I didn't have the glock I would go with a S&W M&P hands down.
I'll have to check out CZ; has not been on my radar.Good choice. The army thinks so too!
I didn't go for the legion either, seems like an inflated MK25... the extra feature is a glow stick, some grip tape, and a cool chevron on every part of the gun... totally worth the extra 200$-400$... lol
I will second the CZ suggestion. I have read too much about them to ignore.
Correct; you can find them used, without a rail I believe, but new SAOs are limited to the premium line.I thought sig had a run of standard guns in SAO? Now you have to get the fancy editions to get it?
Funny, we all have different tastes don't we? I generally like the 'tough and simple' aesthetics of Glock and P-series Sigs (non-stainless and the Legion does border on being too flashy for my taste). Compared to my Glocks, I find the P320 to be much less like a plastic block; the designers added bevels to the slide, front serrations, and a subtle beavertail to the frame. M&Ps look good to me, but polymer options from HK P/VPs, Baretta, and Springfield look a little too 'futuristic' for me.I'm a glocker person, so this may be a little hypocritical, However, the P320 looks like a plastic block that a designer forgot to finish molding.

The Sig I just bought was made entirely in the USA, including the mags. Springfields are also aren't they?There are lots of good handguns to choose from. Beretta, CZ, Springfield Armory, and HK, to name a few. But the M&P does have the advantage of being made right here in the USA.
The new Beretta APX is a very interesting pistol. But there is something odd about its looks that just bothers me. I'm sure that it is a well made gun, though,

- I think you're thinking of an SRT (short reset trigger) upgrade for $50. I don't think a DA/SA trigger can easily be converted to a SAO, especially with an external safety lever.I think the SAO trigger upgrade is only 50$, but I like the extra safety of da/sa.

BRIEF RANGE REPORTTook home a P320 full size yesterday. They'll still be room in my safe for a P226 someday, but I'm optimistic about this one's purpose.
Things I immediately appreciated:
- great price (thank you Billy; Clark County Transfers)
- good serial number (I wasn't able to pick it like I have in the past)
- metal sights (standard contrast for now, but at least high-quality)
- came with a decent-looking OWB holster (I knew that)
- included a sticker (I love stickers)

Things that surprised me:
- frame (grip module) did NOT include the 'FULL MEDIUM' panel on the right front of the dust cover (I hated that); it's been replaced by a simple little 'M' on the backstrap (my gun was born April 24, 2017)

- the guide rod is metal - I expected to upgrade this from poly - but now I don't have to!

- the two 17-round mags included were made in the USA, while the spare mag I bought separately was made in Italy; there are cosmetic differences but I'm not sure of any functional differences

Now I just need to get out to the range this weekend; likely first thing tomorrow morning!

Methinks that SIG had to bolster its USA production facilities/capability as part of winning the US MHS contract.Yes, almost all new SIG pistols sold in the USA are now entirely made here. I have an older P220 that was all made in Germany. For awhile, many SIG handguns had frames made in Germany, with slides and barrels made in the USA.
