The U.S. Army has selected the SIG Sauer Model P320 to replace the M9 service pistol currently in use since the mid-1980's. Released in 2014, the P320 is a polymer striker-fired pistol that has proven itself in both the United States and worldwide markets. The P320 is the first modular pistol with interchangeable grip modules that can also be adjusted in frame size and caliber by the operator. All pistols will be produced at the SIG Sauer facilities in New Hampshire.

The MHS Program provides for the delivery of both full size and compact P320s, over a period of 10 years. All pistols will be configurable to receive silencers and will also include both standard and extended capacity magazines.
