When it comes to \u201csignature\u201d handguns, there are only a few experts shooters could trust right off the bat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chris Costa\u2019s custom M&P<\/a>? A 1911 or Glock 19 from Larry Vickers<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Admit it, you\u2019d have confidence in whatever those guys came up with right out of the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, add another one to that list (real or imagined) from New Hampshire-based Sig Sauer<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

About a year ago Sig Sauer came out with a few variations of its stock P320 lineup \u2014 each with some unique features that either appealed to certain military units who needed specific capabilities or built off the expertise of Sig-aligned shooters \u2014 to take advantage of the modularity and growing popularity of the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of those was the partial brainchild of former Delta Force operator Kyle Lamb. Lamb has become a deepening influence on the shooting industry with his practical instruction, product innovation and really approachable and friendly demeanor<\/a>, and that\u2019s part of the reason why Sig teamed with him on the company\u2019s new P320 X-VTAC<\/a> handgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[In case you were living under a rock, VTAC stands for \u201cViking Tactics<\/a>,\u201d Lamb\u2019s shooting and accessory brand.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll start right up top with the shooting impressions of this handgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Please note: We understand everybody\u2019s got an opinion on guns, and we\u2019re never going to settle any arguments here. All we can say is we\u2019ve shot A LOT of handguns over the years in many situations \u2014 competitive, instruction and just bopping around at the range \u2014 and while we\u2019re not qualified to go deep into the construction and technical details of any weapon, we\u2019d like to think we have a pretty good \u201ceveryman\u201d approach to what works and what doesn\u2019t.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re already big fans of the P320 \u2014 it\u2019s got a great grip angle and low-ish bore axis that makes up for poor front sight focus with simple point-and-shoot alignment. But the X-VTAC takes things to a whole new level with a 4.7-inch barrel topped with an FDE-shaded slide with specially-designed serrations and laser cuts to lighten the load.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We took this through an IDPA local match as well as a few trips to the static range and honestly enjoyed shooting it. It\u2019s got a great balance for a full-sized \u201ccombat\u201d handgun and stays on target well during followup shots. The trigger is badass \u2014 it\u2019s Sig\u2019s enhanced flat-faced trigger that breaks at the 90 degree mark, kinda like an Apex trigger. We are such huge fans of that trigger, particularly for competition environments, though it may have great applications to an \u201coperational\u201d use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We had no problem shooting it in a competitive, fast-paced situation with a variety of ammunition \u2014 no failures in any way \u2014 and ran both the stock 17-round mags and Sig\u2019s high-capacity, 21-rounders (though those 21-rounders pounded our palms during reloads on the clock). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the outside, this thing is totally tricked out, with VTAC-branded day\/night sights that have both fiber optic and tritium tubes that take care of most lighting situations, an enhanced beaver tail for a solid grip and a slightly flared magwell to help with faster loading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Gotta be honest, for some reason these sights were making us shoot a little low \u2014 more trigger time and we\u2019ll probably have it worked out, but it was weird and we thought it was important to mention. There could be a lot more to that, but ROs and fellow competitors noticed the consistently low shooting too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will say, however, that once that bad boy was dialed in, the SO running the stages was like, \u201cdude, you\u2019re owning that thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case closed. We loved the Sig X-VTAC and had no problem believing that Kyle Lamb played a key role in designing it. We\u2019ve had a blast with his previous VTAC AR that used to be part of Smith & Wesson\u2019s lineup and had similar expectations from the Sig pistol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, Sig\u2019s director of pistol products Phil Strader is a top-tier competitor and former president of USPSA himself, so that expertise combined with Lamb\u2019s years of chasing bad guys all around the world? We\u2019ll take it any day of the week. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
