      SaibaKeiosu, Safety among Non combat arms folks is king. Military members don’t get the chance to qualify with their weapons often enough so they about as trained as a civilian that took a hunter safety class. So when they deploy to a combat zone and have to carry a rifle or pistol, the commanders tell them “Safety’s on and no rounds in the chamber”. There are too many negligent discharges overseas.

    The placement of the tang is to keep the hand inline with the placement of the finger on the trigger so that it points naturally. A Glock has a high tang and a lower trigger and the angle of the grip matches that. So the SIG is designed to shoot along the line your index finger would point, while the Glock shoots at a different angle than your index finger points. The cost is the muzzle flip

      Good explanation. People usually ding the 320 pretty hard for that flip, and it's hard for me to get over the slide chonkyness, but the grip angle puts things in perspective.
      I do shoot my 365 more accurately than any handgun I've owned.

M18 had three stove pipes, 2 or 3 failures to go back into battery and a couple times the slide locked back when it wasn't supposed to all within the first 50 rounds. I took it home left it dirty but oiled the crap out of it even though it had factory lube on it. I worked the slide a bunch while watching tv. Also loaded the mags completely overnight, then went back out to the range, zero issues and none since, coming up on 2,800 rounds.

I still have one of the shells more than 30 years later. After he passed in the early 90s I learned he traded a German over/under he took as a war prize for a surplus garand. We tried for years to hunt down the over/under after he passed; never found it. He was 36th Texas, 143rd and served from Salerno through Anzio, Motecassino, Rome, Southern France, Vosages all the way to occupation. When I first saw your video name, it made me think of watching him load his garand. I thought his thumb was gonna get ripped off.

    I finally got to pick my M18 up. Already put the Wilson grip on. It completely transforms the gun. Super comfortable, slimmer, and it has stippling in all the places you’d want. It is so comfortable to hold and get a good grip. I highly recommend the Wilson combat grip module.
    There is something you got wrong though. Yes the screws for the plate and sight mount from underneath, but if you put a red dot they mount on the top at lease the Leupold Delta Point Pro does. I know because I installed one on mine already.

    As using and teaching the m18 for the Air Force for the last year, there are a few things I like about the pistol. BUT, we have found that the front sight has been falling off and sliding around pretty often. So we have to replace them quite a bit and use locktite when doing so. Hopefully Sig fixes that. Also we have found when disassembling, the guide rod will sometimes get pinched by the takedown lever and get messed up. It’s an easy fix, for someone with gun experience, but less mechanically inclined people are thrown for a loop with that. Lastly to keep this comment kinda short, because I could write a whole article on this, our shooters tend to shoot very low. The m9 used normal focusing on front sight and rear sight method. The m18 is similar, but it’s more of a combat sight where you should use the dots on the sights instead. That’s not a bad thing really, but we have been teaching it different or the last many years. So having our shooters using the dots instead of the actual sights has been a learning curve. Sorry for the novel of a comment! Just have a fair amount of opinions over the last year having this pistol In Service.

    I thought about buying a P320 before but after handling it a few times, I noticed that the mag release wasn’t very easy for me to reach and I was a little put off by how high the weight of the slide was in relation to the grip. Most guys refer to this as “bore axis”. It felt like the momentum of the slide while sitting that high up might make for a snappier gun than my G19. I’m sure it’s no big issue, anyone can learn how to control this gun. My biggest issue was the mag release. I like the shape and the height of it but I’ve got somewhat short, stubby fingers so it was a bit difficult to reach.

    Heads up for the lefties out there, the slide release on the right side doesn't always like to cooperate and may require a bit of extra "umph" to release properly. I've seen it where the right side is all the way down and out of the way of the slide, but the left side is still blocking it from moving forward even though the slide releases are not separate pieces of metal. No idea why this happens, but just a heads up.

I recently switched over to the x series grip and I have some small ass hands and that grip feels way better with small hands then the stock compact M grip. The round feel down low on the regular grip is to large. A representative from sig actually said the x series grip is slightly smaller and give the 1911 feel as far as the angle is concerned.

    The *SIG M18*
    Owned the exact pistol only in black. It was called the SIG P320C with a manual safety (I never used the safety though).
    I also own the SIG 2202 & an old school SIG 228. ALL 9mm pistols.
    *_Here is my take,_*
    The older SIGs where great, accurate & reliable. They complicated to gunsmith if you do your own like me. But good old tech. pistols.
    I bought the SIG P320C in January 2020 because I heard it had a great trigger & was going to be the US Army's new sidearm.
    I took the SIG P320 to the shooting range and shot about 400 rounds after a couple of visits there.
    Observations
    - The SIG P320 is very reliable with no malfunctions after 400 rounds
    - This gun is fairly accurate
    - The "good" trigger I did not care for as it was too smooth with little feedback.
    - The trigger & firing pin assembly are overly complicated with a lot of small parts/springs to lose
    - The stock night sights were OK but too small to see for me
    *_Result_*
    Sold the SIG P320C and bought a Glock 19. Picking up the Glock tomorrow.
    IMO the Glock is a better all round firearm with a better trigger for me as I love the reset (audible & tactile).
