Following the U.S. Army's solicitation of the SIG P320 as its official sidearm in the form of the M17/M18 platform, SIG Sauer has rightly capitalized on its position as a military supplier by offering commercial variants that mimic the specifications and controls offered on the military-issue gun.

SIG released its consumer model of the full-size M17 in 2019, providing handgun fans with the P320-M17. However, the compact model also attracted fans, and SIG answered by giving consumers a carry-ready model in the form of the P320-M18.
