SIG Sauer M18-Commemorative Edition Pistol – Your Piece of History

    SIG Sauer has released the limited M18-Commemorative Edition of the official U.S. military service pistol. This is a variant of the SIG Sauer P320, but the M18-Commemorative model shares the same components, coatings, and markings as the firearm that was awarded the U.S. Army contract.

    If you prefer to collect rather than use and carry it, there is also an M18 Collector’s Case with a serialized M18-Commemorative Certificate of Authenticity and a serialized M18-Commemorative Challenge Coin.

    M18-Commemorative: Own a Piece of History

    The limited release of the M18-Commemorative Edition of the official U.S. military service pistol, a variant of the SIG SAUER P320, is now available. The M18-Commemorative pistol shares the same components, coating, and markings as the firearm that was awarded the U.S. military contract for the Modular Handgun System (MHS), and is now in service with all branches of the U.S. Military.

    The M18-Commemorative is a 9mm, striker-fired pistol.  The pistol features a coyote carry length grip module, a coyote-tan PVD coated stainless steel slide with the same optic cut as specified by the MHS contract, the original coyote-tan colored controls, an ambidextrous manual safety, and is equipped with SIGLITE front night sights and removable night sight rear plate.  The M18-Commemorative ships with two 21-round magazines and one 17-round magazine and is sold in the same cardboard packaging as delivered to the U.S. Army.

    The SIG SAUER M18-Commemorative pistol features a unique serial number ranging from M18-0001 through M18-5000.  Upon registration of the M18-Commemorative pistol, the purchaser will receive an official certificate of authenticity and commemorative challenge coin, both with serial numbers matching the purchased M18-Commemorative pistol.
