In the March 2015 cover story, American Rifleman Field Editor Wiley Clapp said the modular SIG P320 pistol is the system designed to carry the SIG Sauer banner deep into the 21st century, going up against such impressive names as Ruger, S&W, Beretta, HK, FN and Glock.

The editors agreed and awarded the pistol its Golden Bullseye for 2016 Handgun of the Year. Learn more about this pistol and see it fired downrange in this video hosted by American Rifleman's Joseph Kurtenbach.
