Rudukai13 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2020/07/23/sig-p320-fcu-program/ ...the P320 FCU Custom Works program is a collaboration between SIG and third-party/aftermarket parts makers to offer a new degree of customization for the SIG P320 line of pistols. Consumers will be able to purchase the SIG P320 fire control unit by itself for $299. As the fire control unit of the SIG P320 is the serialized component of the gun, buyers will then be able to hand-select and order the components to complete their build – including the frame, slide, barrel, and other components – not only from SIG but from supported third-party manufacturers. After those parts arrive, the owner simply assembles their custom-designed SIG P320. You’ll soon be able to purchase a P320 FCU as a stand-alone item from Sig and build it up from there with just the parts you want, like a bare AR receiver. This will be a great avenue to get yourself a personalized P320 without wasting money on parts you don’t want! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirectDrive Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Many of us are doing this now from the parts level. SIG wants in on the party. Will not affect my life, unless SIG shuts off spare parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Eric Sig’s currently holding a multi-day event at the training academy where they specifically invited aftermarket manufacturers to show their P320 stuff and encourage more third-party support for the platform.

Aircooled6racer Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Hello: This sounds like it will be great for all of us who like to build up pistols the way we like them or have spare parts laying around that we don't know what to do with.

Rudukai13 Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 Based on the info spilling out of the #p320collective hashtag on IG, this is likely to be much more than just the ability to buy a stand-alone FCU. Sounds like Sig is going to be offering a car-like configurator program that includes third-party aftermarket components from partner vendors. That would explain why the Wilson Combat WCP320 and Zev Z320 pistols were both announced as “in partnership” with Sig themselves, and why they had over a dozen aftermarket manufacturers up at the training academy over the last couple days. Aftermarket customization supported by the OEM factory would be a game changer for those of us who like to personalize our guns out of the gate. Formal announcement on Monday, we’ll know for sure then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudukai13 Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/sig-sauer-will-sell-p320-custom-works-fire-control-units-and-roll-out-the-p320-collective/ As SIG SAUER’s Chief Marketing Officer, Tom Taylor, told a room full of gun writers, accessory makers and even a few competitors last week, the New Hampshire gun maker wants their modular P320 to be thought of in the same way as the 1911 and the AR-15. They want it to be a “universal” platform around which revolves scores of parts, accessories and add-ons made by custom shops and parts makers all around the country. That’s why SIG has decided to sell P320 Custom Works fire control units as a stand-alone item beginning the first of October. You probably know that the internal fire control unit is the part of the P320 that’s legally a firearm. It’s the serialized part that requires a background check and transfer through an FFL. Every other part of the P320 can be and is sold over the counter. The grip, the slide, the barrel, the guide rod, sights…every other part can be delivered right to your door. The stand-alone P320 Custom Works Fire Control Unit, to be sold at gun stores, will be an upgrade over the standard FCU that’s in most SIG P320 pistols currently sold. They’ve given them a gold titanium nitride finish and a Legion skeletonized trigger. You’ll be able to buy the FCU, then add your own slide, barrel, frame and other parts to complete the gun the way you want. Or…SIG is putting the finishing touches on a P320 configurator site — the P320 Studio — that will let you choose from a range of all the parts and build your own gun. So you’ll buy your Custom Works FCU at your local gun store, then take it home and register it in the configurator. Any parts you buy through the P320 Studio will get a 10% discount and be shipped to your door. As you’d expect, all of those parts will be made by SIG…at least at first. The reason all of those other makers were in the room with us last week is SIG will be including competing companies’ products in the configurator, too. Which is why they’re calling the entire program the P320 Collective...So eventually, you’ll be able to build your gun using the P320 Studio configurator and select from parts from a range of companies, mixing and matching the slides, sights, grips, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Hello: It looks to be a good idea except I like a curved trigger over the flat one they offer. A curved or flat trigger option would be better or no trigger at all since you could add your own. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just add the OEM "Adverse" trigger for about $25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudukai13 Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 I’d be willing to bet as they add third-party aftermarket components to the configurator system there will be other triggers available as an option. I’m not particularly a fan of the gold trigger personally, but I put an Apex flat trigger kit in all my FCUs anyway so that takes care of that. I do like that the bulk of the FCU is TiN coated as it should make cleaning it much easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedrrracer Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) So if this little FCU is the firearm, how will USPSA calculate the weight of the firearm for prod / CO? How long before they release the Laugo Alien grip module and slide? Edited August 2, 2020 by speedrrracer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaep1911 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Interesting. Can we use those fancy looking pro cut slides in USPSA? I want to buy a 4.7” full size slide kit and use it with my Legion grip module. The pro cut slide might be lighter than the standard (?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z40acp Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Anyone seen where they state the trigger pull weight of this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stician Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 1 hour ago, z40acp said: Anyone seen where they state the trigger pull weight of this? It's likely identical to the Legion FCU pull just like the AXG Scorpion is. I asked the Legion Concierge at Sig about AXG and it's the Legion trigger.
