Precision Engineering Meets Shooter’s Excellence
The SIG Sauer P320 Max is engineered to perfection, merging innovative design with competitive performance. Here’s a closer look at its standout features:
Ergonomic Excellence
- TXG Tungsten Infused Grip Module: This unique grip module adds substantial weight, enhancing the firearm’s balance and reducing muzzle flips during rapid firing. The deeper trigger guard undercut allows for a higher grip, improving overall control and stability.
- Extended Beavertail: The extended beavertail ensures a higher and more secure grip, further aiding in recoil management and reducing shooter fatigue during prolonged sessions.
- Custom Weight Distribution: The removable grip weight, strategically placed in the TXG module, provides an optimal balance for steady aiming and better follow-through on shots.
- Magazine Funnel: Designed for quick reloads, the funnel ensures smooth and effortless magazine changes, a critical feature in high-pressure competitive scenarios.
Competition-Ready Barrel and Slide
- 5-Inch Match-Grade Bull Barrel: Constructed from carbon steel, this barrel is designed for precision and durability. The bull barrel configuration minimizes vibration, enhancing accuracy with each shot.
- Lightened Slide with Serrations: The precision-machined slide features aggressive serrations for a secure grip during operation. The lightened design complements the firearm’s balance while ensuring consistent cycling performance.
- Optic-Cut Slide: The slide’s optic cut is tailored for the ROMEO3 Max, allowing it to sit low and close to the bore axis. This reduces sight alignment issues and enhances accuracy.
Trigger Innovation
The X-Series Flat Skeleton Trigger is a hallmark feature of the P320 Max. Breaking cleanly at a precise 90 degrees, this trigger offers a crisp, tactile pull with minimal overtravel, delivering consistent and reliable performance under competition conditions.
Performance That Dominates the Range
Whether you’re competing in Steel Challenge matches or refining your skills at the range, the P320 Max delivers exceptional performance:
- ROMEO3 Max Optic: Pre-installed and competition-ready, the 6 MOA red dot optic features a large viewing window for rapid target acquisition and exceptional clarity. Adjustable brightness settings cater to varying light conditions, ensuring consistent performance indoors and outdoors.
- Recoil Management: The tungsten-infused grip module, coupled with the match-grade bull barrel, provides superior recoil mitigation. This combination allows for faster follow-up shots and tighter groupings.
- Customizable Springs: The inclusion of 12lb and 14lb recoil springs enables shooters to fine-tune the firearm to match their preferred ammunition and shooting style.
- Durable Nitron Finish: The slide and barrel are coated with SIG Sauer’s proprietary Nitron finish, ensuring resistance to corrosion and wear, even under rigorous use.
