M18 vs P320 XCompact

[@uh-zo5ei]

Just bought the M18. Fortunately it came with three Mags, no vouchers. The color looks so much better in person than videos and pictures show. It's darker in person. Sharp looking.

Good to hear on the mags. I agree about the color.

I had my eye on the X-Compact from the time it was released. My only hang up was the rear sight attached to the optics plate. Then my local Sig shop told me about the Pro version. I went from tentative to sold.

@@laneferrence292 it depends there isn't one fit for everyone. The Sig P320 has sub compact, compact and full size grip frames. Am sure u can set it up exactly how u prefer. I am 6"3 and 290 lbs i have no problems carrying my M18.

[@dustinmatthews387]

I have the original 320 medium compact released in 2014', an x compact, x carry and the M18...the M18 has the same dimensions as the initial release 320 medium compact and the X Carry. (Which I do believe has been discontinued by Sig.) My personal favorite is the x compact.

[@J.Young808]

I got the M18 for the external safety because of the AD/ND issues with the P320. I added a Romeo 0 Pro & shroud as well as the Wilson Combat grip. I was surprised that the 0 is larger than the 1.

[@robertsalyers1351]

Great review. Great information. I have shot both the Sig Sauer P320 and the P365X macro comp and I have to agree with your assessment. The P320 shoots considerably more comfortable and is a better gun in my opinion. Not sure if I want a M17 M18 or the P320 pistol

[@whitehummus3772]

I bought my XCompact back in late February early March and it came with two magazines.

[@ThePimpnastyfunk]

Check your manual, bought a M18 recently and it only came with two mags but the manual has a code to order a free one because of limited stock.

[@arsenal_616]

Some people are getting 3 mags. Others are getting one with a voucher for the other two. Sig sends them out for free in under two weeks, based on what I've heard.

[@Dylannem]

That is exactly what's going on. When I bought my M18, I got a voucher for the 2 remaining mags that were shipped to me for free straight from Sig. A coworker of mine also bought the M18 but from another gun store and his came with all mags. It just depends on where you get it at this point.

[@jimcooksc]

When bought my M18 it came with 1 standard magazine and the voucher for 2 free 21 round magazines. They arrived in about 2 week. They were free including free shipping. In addition I got a digital coupon code for 25% of off a future purchase.

Got the m18 from cabelas and it came with a 17 round mag and 2 21 round mags and a cheap holster all in the box.

I can vouch for this, except the two week thing, I wasn't trying to conceal those extended mags.

Great vid man as always! Just recently got a hold of the the p320 x compact but mine has the option to keep the rear sight. Put a Romeo 1 pro on it and absolutely love it. Great transition gun from my p365 XL for something a little larger and more shootable!

I have both guns. I shoot left handed. The Xcompact is great out of the box. No complaining there. The M18 however. I switched out the stock M18 grip for the Wilson combat module immediately. I have small hands for a dude, so the switch made WAY more ergonomic for me. Threw on a chpws plate for a rmr on that bad boi and a x300uB, I'm good to go.

You can also get the standard compact grip for the M18 that uses the 15 round flush fit Mags. It will also fit the 17 and 21 round Mags if you don’t mind them sticking out more. Only the X series uses different Mags. You will just need to route a channel in the grip module to fit the manual safety or get the parts to remove it.

[@bigbossoooo]

@@robclarke4938 thanks, that's the thing with the 320 line so many options.

[@davidhudson2527]

Maybe Sig should've called the P320 XCarry the XCompact and the P320 XCompact the XCarry, since it seems more suitable for carry? 😁

[@MSmatt76]

As a SA in the Army we are issued the M18. The grip is different than my personal P320, the trigger guard is too fat for my taste. After a few minutes of shooting it rubs my shooting hand middle finger, it's not fun to shoot. My personal P320 doesn't give me this problem nor do Glocks. It may just be me as I haven't heard anyone else complain about this specific issue. The two extended magazines are nice on the range but are not great for concealed carry. The weight doesn't bother me (a lot of guys don't like it) but they are too long and the sharp corners digging into my side gets old pretty fast. I would rather they gave use three standard mags. That being said, it has been reliable, nice trigger, very accurate, and the safety is no problem (this is the biggest complaint among Army guys).

Odd question but do you notice any excessive carbon clouding on your red dot due to the LCI of the M18? I just got an M18 and installed an RMR on it. Haven't shot it yet but have seen elsewhere this is a complaint that the glass gets super dirty quickly because of the LCI (loaded chamber indicator slot). Also, Is there any harm in removing it to run a threaded barrel? -- Thank you

I haven't held either one, but I hear tell the undercut they did on the handle of the x-compact makes it really comfortable, so I'm gonna go with that. Plus, I don't want that safety on there.

[@TacticoolVIKINGBeard]

I really do like the m18 but something is really drawing me to the grip size and texture of the 320X. I have short thumbs🤷 so i feel like the slimmer profile with the mag release/slide release would be better for my hand structure. I love glocks and shoot the gen3 19 and it works well with me but the grip is a little fat depthwise from finger grooves to backstrap so i had to get an extended mag release and slide stop so i didnt have to break my grip. Sig has really been grabbing my attention lately and am definitely considering picking up something from their line.
