Sig Sauer M18 - Is The Army's New Handgun Good Enough for YOU? | First Mag
About this video
Colion shares his range impressions of the SIG P320 M18, the U.S. Army’s adopted sidearm variant. He discusses features he appreciates—including the compact slide on a full-size frame, the 21-round magazines, and aggressive grip texture—while critiquing the small manual safety that he finds easy to forget. Colion compares the M18 to the Glock 19X and reflects on how the military contract has raised the platform’s profile.
Key takeaways
- Colion likes the shorter slide on a larger frame setup of the M18, finding it reduces muzzle flip and suits his shooting style
- Colion finds the manual safety small and easy to forget because the gun feels like a typical striker-fired pistol, which can disrupt muscle memory
- Colion praises the M18’s grip texture and magazine extensions but notes he needs more trigger time before fully comparing it to competitors like the Glock 19X
