GUN REVIEW: Sig Sauer M18

[@thuleorigin2863]

Just found your channel. I watch a lot of gun channels, and I can already tell you have the communicability and disposition to grow and be competitive in this endeavor. Keep it up.

[@conservingfreedom1776]

I appreciate it more than you know!! Thank you for the kind words. Just gunna keep grinding and speaking from the heart. Excited for the journey.

[@summertime2433]

Your reaction after firing it was exactly my words and reaction after firing mine. Other than my Springfield Armory TRP 1911s I have never loved a pistol, especially a polymer framed pistol until I fired the M18. The accuracy is just phenominal and being a 1911 trigger snob I did not mind the trigger on it at all. Now I get why some glock fanatics were so butthurt about the P320 😂

[@johnhatchel9681]

No kidding. I've never seen a good pistol get trashed so hard for no reason in my life.

[@damiion666]

lol glock filed a complaint to the army when sig won the contract. They got shot down miserably. Soon after sig won, steyr filed a lawsuit as well 😂

[@bigbossoooo]

I love my Sig M18 absolutely love it.

[@conservingfreedom1776]

It’s the best!,

[@bigbossoooo]

I have over 8600 rounds through mine. Not one single issue.

[@west.pa.plinker]

I just bought one of these guns. Haven’t received it yet but am looking forward to that day. I own a couple other Sig Sauer products, and made the purchase based on the quality of those other products. Thanks for sharing.

[@conservingfreedom1776]

You’ll be super pleased. The more I shoot my friends other striker fired handguns, the more I fall in love with this one. Smoothest by a mile…to me

[@matthewgonzalez1346]

I was on the fence getting an M18 cause I heard the High Bore axis talk from alot of guntubers. Im glad I got it anyway. Over 2k rounds and not one malfunction. Flat shooter and a tack driver Im no expert and at 7 and 10 yds I can chew out the bullseye with this gun.

[@conservingfreedom1776]

It’s smooth. No two ways about it. Doesn’t really recoil wildly at all. Glad you got it!

[@michaelphillips5786]

It's August 2023...just purchased a m18, my 6th? P320. Really like the weapon.. The p320xc is my favorite...

[@conservingfreedom1776]

It’s still my favorite gun to take to the range. 2 years and running strong as ever. Thanks for watching.

[@summertime2433]

Btw I just got the M&P 2.0 Compact with the new flat face trigger and love it that much more than my Sig M18. If you were to ask me if I would recommend on getting one I would say an absolute yes. It is more than amazing.

[@chrisrogers5614]

Got the M17 for Christmas. Absolutely love it. I like the high bore axis of the Sig always have been more accurate with it.the M18 will be next. Thanks for the video 👍

[@conservingfreedom1776]

You’re welcome! Just took a sick pistol class with this gun and was reallllllly good. Not sure if there are markedly better striker fired pistols.

[@Heavensgates-t8j]

Great video! I enjoyed it, but I have to ask if those are women’s jeans?? It really doesn’t matter but in Oklahoma that’s how the cowgirls wear their jeans. It’s not that they are tucked in your boots it’s that they look like stretchy jeans with wrinkles??Keep the awesome videos coming brother.

[@conservingfreedom1776]

😂😂 not womens jeans. Just skinny and had thermal leggings underneath so they look tighter I guess lol. Real jeans just skinny…and always tuck your jeans in your boots 😉

[@Heavensgates-t8j]

@@conservingfreedom1776 you bet! I wear my jeans tucked in my boots as well!

[@michaelzschoche2746]

Got myself the Sig M18 for myself for Christmas this year. Haven’t had the chance to shoot it yet, but I am very much looking forward to it. I already put a Wilson combat grip module though. Just from holding it I like the Wilson better than the Sig grip.

[@awavee6054]

Smedium pants.

[@conservingfreedom1776]

Can’t argue that lol

[@px7446nlebpse13]

This has become my favorite handgun to date. Still on the fence about getting the Wilson Combat frame for my m18.

[@drpepperdrp]

Just got it a month ago.... Highly suggest it, fits my large hand perfectly and allows manipulation of all the guns functions without adjusting the hand.

[@Cheerier.417]

Bought the Wilson combat module once I started background for mine. Standard frame module still nearly brand new, Wilson feels and works great

[@px7446nlebpse13]

@@drpepperdrp did you get the Wilson combat full frame or the compact frame?

[@drpepperdrp]

@@px7446nlebpse13 I got the compact

[@fredfred3624]

Definitely get it. I have it for my Sig X Compact. The texturing, grip shape is awesome

Brother, you're not a small guy you just need some bigger pants!

Can’t I just be small? 😂😂😂

the jeans a little tight for Tactical look, but great video and review, just purchased this gun too. Cant wait to go shoot it.

I have this for my home defense gun as well!

[@conservingfreedom1776]

She’s a beaut.

[@jesusis1459]

Good video! Thanks for sharing. I just ordered the M18 CA version from sportsmans. I'm looking forward to taking to the range to use for the 1st time. 1st Sig gun for me. I have a glock 19. I shot the M17 at a range in Nashville while on vacation and it shot good. Not much recoil. Did you ever change your trigger out? I'v watched / read reviews on the apex trigger and sounds like they are really good.

[@TheAlbin0zebra]

Picking mine up in 3 days, how'd you like yours?

[@ParkerThomass]

I really recommend throwing an apex trigger kit and a Wilson combat frame. It makes a world a difference

[@conservingfreedom1776]

Maybe a trigger kit. For sure no frame. I’ve really come to love this frame. Trigger pack certainly in play.

[@user-qt1vb3fl5w]

good gun

[@conservingfreedom1776]

Agreed.

[@jackbreedlove3740]

Good review, I like mine however I’m not a fan of red dots or lights. I too use it as a house gun.

[@conservingfreedom1776]

Why?

[@KonaLife]

If it’s your home defense gun it should have a light on it.

[@jamescraig4719]

I have that same light on my 7.5 300AAC AR. Love it and will be putting same on my M17

[@JD-by9gk]

Bro those jeans look unhealthy. Just curious what’s your time out of holster to first shot it seems very long. Other than that good vid.

[@davidhottenstine6497]

I have the same gun with the same light. I just have to get the site. And yes I'm also in WI

[@conservingfreedom1776]

I’ve switched to a surefire x300. Got rid of the IED on the front of my gun lol.

[@enhancepanda]

I need some ammo advice. Just picked up my m18 which ammo would yall recommend for carry/home defense, and range ammo chambered in 9m

[@conservingfreedom1776]

For home defense and carry this thing can handle something stout. Obviously spear gold dot is amazing. So is the Hornady critical defense. Right now I’m running a 147 grain browning hollow point in my bedside magazine. For range honestly this thing eats everything. I like federal 124 classic ball ammo. I also use a ton of Winchester ball and Remington ball (those are 115 grain). But again this thing eats any range ball ammo.

[@first-namelast-name4198]

We have both the M17 and M18. The M17 is by far a smoother shooting gun and with less recoil than the M18. We are going to get rid of it and get another M17.

[@conservingfreedom1776]

Well yea. It’s a bigger gun. Longer barrel. Heavier. It’ll shoot smoother. I like the size mixed with the smoothness of the M18. Whatever you like shooting, go get and shoot. Both are stellar.

[@trucker5024]

I have the Wilson Combat grip module and the weights on my M18 and bet it shoots smoother than that M17.

[@andrewschliewe6392]

On Wisconsin!

[@conservingfreedom1776]

Yessssssir!!!

[@LL-fi4rr]

Nice review! Looking to pick one up. Quick question, can the firearm be disassembled with the safety on? My P365 can't. Safety must be off. My theory is the takedown lever decocks the sear somehow which can't move with the safety engaged.

[@conservingfreedom1776]

I’ve never tried. That’s a good question.

[@9877joseph]

Affirmative

[@tangoESPECIAL]

M17/M18 can be disassembled with safety on; slide can be racked with safety on. Great concept

[@socrates936]

Can it be an EDC ?

[@terrence946]

I love my M18. Great gun it is in rotation with the Glock 19X. Side note what can you conceal in those tight Jeans ? 😂 Jk had to mess with you about the Skiiny Jeans.

[@conservingfreedom1776]

Hahahaha those are exceedingly tight and have been swapped out with some slightly baggier jeans. My Glock 19 fits 😂😂. Thanks for the comment and views. The M18 is so fun tho.

[@fredepps3102]

Where did you find the holster . I have the same set up but can’t find a holster.

[@conservingfreedom1776]

Werkz Holsters. They’re solid as can be!!

[@doncarrera601]

So if I’m hearing you straight, the gun is FAN-tastic? 😂

[@omarcaban9917]

What red dot u have that looks sweet

[@conservingfreedom1776]

That’s the Leupold Delta Point Pro. It’s really solid. Probably unanimously the second best red dot for a pistol right behind the RMR. And I’ve heard cases for it being better even.

[@chaos-jp7nt]

What holster you use?

[@greggdildy4677]

Idk what to get the m17 or m18.

[@conservingfreedom1776]

M18. More versatile because it’s small but by no means “compact.” The M17 is just a behemoth.

[@greggdildy4677]

@@conservingfreedom1776 thanks bud

[@tomnape28]

when i dry fire it is really weak sounding. almost like a toy. Is that normal? Haven't shot it yet

[@conservingfreedom1776]

Typical striker fire on a polymer frame. Mine sounds a little plastic-ish. Has over 3,500 rounds at this point. Virtually no failures. Things runs.

[@C7Tmac]

did they fix the issues with the m18?

[@conservingfreedom1776]

Yes they did. And you can check your serial number on their website to ensure it’s safe.

[@brandonrussell3600]

Those jeans tho

[@conservingfreedom1776]

Yes they were very tight 😂

[@Dnt461]

Is the m18 a good edc?

[@conservingfreedom1776]

Ummmm it’s ok. It’s possible with the flush mags. The 17 round ones. Easy with a sweatshirt but it doesn’t conceal amazing for me with a t shirt. But I’m under 160 pounds. Probably different for others. It is comfortable to carry though cause the slide isn’t super long. I enjoy it with a sweatshirt for sure.

[@omarcaban9917]

Do you conceal that ?

[@conservingfreedom1776]

Ehhhhh I have a holster for concealment of it but I pretty much would only carry this with a jacket. Winter time carry. It prints like a mother f-er with just a t shirt haha.
