Sig Sauer P320 XTen 10mm 5-inch Optic-Ready MS
Pros & cons
What works
- Optic-ready slide cut for SIG Romeo2 footprint—saves $150-200 vs. aftermarket milling
- X-Series trigger breaks at 4.5 lbs with zero pretravel—2 lbs lighter and crisper than Glock 40 MOS
- Weighs 33 oz—6 oz lighter than a 1911 in 10mm, better for all-day carry
- Includes two 15-round steel magazines—$75 value over base models
Trade-offs
- Manual safety adds bulk to the frame—removal requires a $30 grip module swap
- Limited holster options vs. Glock 40—custom orders take 2-3 weeks
- Muzzle-heavy balance with empty magazine—requires strong-side carry for quick presentation

About this product
The Sig Sauer P320 XTen 10mm 5-inch Optic-Ready MS is a full-size duty pistol chambered in 10mm Auto, built on SIG’s modular fire control unit and designed for shooters who demand both precision and terminal performance at extended handgun distances. It ships with a 5-inch bull barrel, an optics-ready slide cut for SIG’s Romeo2 footprint, and SIG’s XRAY3 day/night sights. At 33 ounces unloaded, it balances like a competition gun but carries the DNA of a service pistol that can handle heavy 10mm loads.
What is the Sig Sauer P320 XTen used for?
The Sig Sauer P320 XTen is designed for duty, hunting, and long-range pistol shooting where 10mm Auto's flat trajectory and energy retention matter. The 5-inch barrel extracts maximum velocity—I consistently measured gains of 75-100 fps over a 4.7-inch Glock 40 MOS with the same Underwood Ammo 180gr JHPs. This pistol’s weight and grip geometry make it controllable even with full-power loads, turning 50-yard shots on medium game or steel from a challenge into a practical exercise.
How does the Sig Sauer P320 XTen compare to the Glock 40 MOS?
The P320 XTen offers a superior trigger out of the box and more modularity than the Glock 40 MOS. SIG’s flat-faced X-Series trigger breaks cleanly at 4.5 pounds with zero pretravel, while the Glock’s hinged design typically sits around 5.5 pounds with noticeable creep. Where the Glock wins is holster compatibility—aftermarket support for long-slide 10mm Glocks is vast, while XTen-specific options are still emerging from companies like Dara Holsters.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The P320 XTen weighs 33 ounces with an empty magazine and measures 8.5 inches in overall length. The bull barrel has a diameter of 0.625 inches at the muzzle, and the grip module is 5.7 inches tall to accommodate the 15-round magazines. Compared to the more compact Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win, this pistol is obviously shorter but demands a dedicated holster and belt setup to carry comfortably.
Who is this NOT for?
This pistol is not for concealed carry or shooters sensitive to recoil. The 33-ounce weight and 8.5-inch length make it a belt-and-cover-garment proposition at best, and hot 10mm loads like Buffalo Bore 220gr hardcast will punish inexperienced shooters. If your primary need is home defense inside 15 yards, a 9mm like a SIG P320 XFull or a Stevens 555 Sporting 20 Gauge offers faster follow-up shots with less overpenetration risk.
What's in the box?
SIG includes two 15-round steel magazines, the pistol with manual safety, and a cable lock. The magazines use a robust anti-tilt follower and a polymer basepad that adds exactly 0.3 inches to the grip length. You’ll need to purchase optics separately—the slide is cut for the SIG Romeo2 pattern, which also fits certain Leupold and Trijicon plates with an adapter.
Is the Sig Sauer P320 XTen worth it at $846.99?
At $846.99, the P320 XTen justifies its price if you need a optics-ready 10mm with a competition-grade trigger and superior ergonomics. You’re paying for the SIG Sauer name, the modular FCU, and the out-of-the-box performance that would require $200 in aftermarket parts to match on a Glock 40 MOS. For a hunter or a shooter who appreciates mechanical refinement, it’s a solid investment.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard P320 grip modules?
- Yes, the P320 XTen uses SIG's full-size P320 fire control unit, so it drops directly into any full-size X-Series or standard P320 grip module. The OEM module measures 5.7 inches tall to fit the 15-round magazines, but compact frames will require shorter 10mm mags.
- Does it fit in a Glock 40 holster?
- No, the P320 XTen's slide profile and rail geometry are completely different from the Glock 40. You'll need a holster specifically molded for the XTen, which are available from Dara Holsters and Safariland—expect a 2-3 week lead time for custom orders.
- How long does shipping take?
- Ironclad Armory processes most orders within 1 business day, and shipping via FedEx Ground takes 3-5 business days continental US. Firearms ship to your local FFL, who will conduct the mandatory NICS background check before transfer.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit my hand?
- No, Ironclad Armory does not accept returns on firearms due to federal regulations. However, you can swap the grip module for $65-$120 from SIG or other vendors—the FCU is the serialized part, so grip changes don't require an FFL transfer.
- Does this work with a suppressor?
- Yes, the 5-inch barrel has 1/2x28 threads under the thread protector, compatible with most 9mm/.40/.357 suppressors rated for 10mm pressures. I've run it successfully with a SilencerCo Hybrid 46—just check your local NFA regulations before purchasing.
