SIG Sauer P320 AXG Carry Reverse Two-Tone

The P320 changed how many people think about handguns. SIG built it around a stainless fire control unit, so the part the law calls the gun is a small chassis you can drop into a different grip module. That idea won the U.S. Army's handgun trials in 2017, and the M17 and M18 have served ever since.

The AXG line takes that modular design where SIG fans have wanted it to go for years. Instead of polymer, the grip is machined from aluminum. You get the weight and steady feel of a P226 or P229, with the trigger and modularity of a P320.

This is the AXG Carry, with a reverse two-tone finish. Classic SIG two-tones put a bright slide on a dark frame. Here it's flipped. The grip module is finished in Titanium Cerakote, and the stainless slide is coated in black Nitron. The contrast is quiet in some light and bold in others.

The grip is where this pistol earns its keep. There's a deep undercut behind the trigger guard, an extended beavertail, and crisp texturing on the front strap, backstrap, and trigger guard face. Black textured panels carry the SIG Sauer logo and are held by slotted screws, a nice old-school touch. The flat-faced XSeries trigger gives your finger the same spot to land every time.

Up top, the 3.9-inch barrel sits under an optics-cut slide. A removable plate holds the X-Ray3 rear sight. Pull it, and you can mount a red dot like a Romeo1Pro or an RMR. The front sight shows a bright green insert.

It comes complete with the factory hard case, two 17-round steel magazines, and the original paperwork. The factory warning tag is still tied to the trigger guard. If you've wanted a P320 that feels like a classic metal SIG, this is the one to get.
