Can someone tell me all the safetya on the Sig P320 X Compact?
What makes it a good carry gun?
Signs are cool because the serialized part is the trigger group. So you can buy new slides, and new frames easy.
The sog p320 has a striker block. I’m not certain how it’s designed but I’m sure it is there. This keeps the firing pin blocked unless the trigger is pulled.
Sig triggers are designed to be light enough to not be forced downward by inertia. I would prefer a trigger safety, but many people don’t like those. (This is part of the reason why 320: fired when they were dropped at their initial release).
Most importantly It’s quality gun from a quality manufacturer that’s been out for a good amount of time and has developed good reputation.
I personally don’t want one. I was very turned off by their drop issues early on. BUT that doesn’t mean they didn’t get fixed, and they are not good guns. The modularity factor is really cool.

What do you think for the M&P shield 2.0
Shield is a great gun. It was my first carry gun. Now that I don’t care much about printing, I’ve moved towards larger guns for capacity and shoot ability, but there’s always those select times where you need a small gun and the shield fits that role for me.
You can get the 1.0s for pretty cheap nowadays, and they still feel great. The only big difference between 1.0 and 2.0
Is the grip texture and the trigger. The 1.0 is very serviceable, reliable, and concealable.

The P320 has multiple internal safety features. It has a striker block. The sear has a additional sear notch, to protect against an accidental discharge. It also has a disconnector to prevent an out of battery discharge. Sig Mechanics has some very good YouTube videos on how these function. Additionally the M17 and M18 have an ambidextrous thumb safety.
