In 2017, the U.S. Army announced the SIG Sauer P320 as the winner of its Modular Handgun System (MHS) competition. The handgun was quickly adopted by other branches of the U.S. military, along with military and law enforcement agencies around the world. SIG readily adapted the M17 to many unique purposes. One of those was a special version designed to arm the Honor Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington Cemetery. New for 2024, SIG is offering a P320 based on the concept of that pistol, the P320-M17 Ceremonial.

Like the ceremonial M17s presented to the Army, the P320-M17 Ceremonial is based on the full-size M17 pistol with a 4.7” barrel. The P320-M17 Ceremonial, like the special pistols presented to the Tomb of the Unknown sentinels, differ from a standard issue M17 in the fact that they use a metal grip frame, versus the standard polymer version. For the P320-M17 Ceremonial, this is SIG’s Alloy X-Series Grip (AXG) module. This grip module has an extended beavertail, undercut trigger guard, and an M1913 Picatinny rail section machined into its dustcover. Grips are custom checkered walnut panels by Hogue.

The P320-M17 Ceremonial’s slide is made of stainless steel and is optics cut with a Leupold DeltaPoint Pro footprint. Sights are SIG’s XRAY3 day/night sights. All metal parts are given a high-polished DLC coating. A manual safety lever is not an option on the P320-M17 Ceremonial. The pistol is chambered in 9 mm Luger and is supplied with one 17-round and two 21-round magazines.
