SIG P320: The Pistol That Won a Military Contract and Then Divided the Shooting World

Short answer: yes, but it depends on what you’re doing with it. The P320 remains a top-tier modular pistol for IPSC/USPSA and range training — the U.S. Army still carries it, and the X-Five Legion is one of the best competition pistols money can buy. But 100+ active lawsuits, a full IDPA ban, and a growing list of police departments pulling it from duty mean your buying decision in 2026 isn’t as simple as it was in 2020. Below we rank all 7 models, break down the safety controversy with the latest legal developments, and tell you exactly which variant fits competition, carry, or collection.
