SIG M17 vs M18: The Three-Second Answer to the Military’s Two-Brother Pistols

Short answer: The M17 is the full-size version (4.7" barrel, 8.0" overall length, 29.6 oz empty), while the M18 is the compact version (3.9" barrel, 7.2" overall length, 28.1 oz empty).

What Is the Best IDPA Pistol for Beginners?

I remember standing at the gun counter before my first IDPA match, overwhelmed by choices. The clerk asked me which division I planned to shoot, and I had no idea what he was talking about.

A Glock 34 dominates SSP, a 1911 in .45 ACP owns CDP, and a Glock 19 fits CCP like it was designed for it (because it literally was). The good news? Your everyday carry pistol is probably already IDPA-legal.

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.
