This should be in Press Release but I have too much to say about it.

I’m sure there is some Gen Y or Zoomer out there that thinks this is the coolest thing. The ceremonial SIG. Looks its got wood grips! Very classy. It seems stupid to me. These mostly plastic things have no soul. And most importantly, they have not been in service long enough. They have no history, no soul. There is no legacy with these things that will probably be gone in 10 years. They are not 1911s. They don’t even have the history of the M9. What notable events have they been in ? The fall of Afghanistan?

Gun companies rush so hard these days to force history and respect onto us for new shit. Can’t wait for their product to pay it’s dues and rack up battle streamers. I guess that’s just the nature of modernity. Or, everyone knows collapse is upon us so why not try..

Anyway, I can’t wait to see one of these SIGs fall apart in a holster in the middle of a parade soon.

SIG SAUER is honored to introduce the P320-M17 Ceremonial. Exquisitely crafted to help honor and celebrate a legacy of service.Inspired by the SIG SAUER ceremonial pistols created for the soldiers who guard the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

The P320-M17 Ceremonial is built around a high-polish AXG all metal grip module fitted with custom Hogue walnut grip panels. Featuring a high-polish optics-ready slide and SIGLITE front and rear day/night sights. Chambered in 9mm, the P320-M17 Ceremonial maintains the same reliability as its duty-grade cousins with a 4.7” carbon steel barrel, M1913 accessory rail, and 21+1 round capacity. The P320-M17 Ceremonial – an acknowledgement of dedication, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to our country – a symbol of courage, resilience, and undeniable impact, marking the end of a commendable career of service and beginning of active duty alike.Silence, Respect, Dignity, and Perseverance: The Story of the M17 Tomb of the Unknown Pistols
