In January 2017 it was announced that SIG Sauer had won the highly competitive U.S. Military Modular Handgun System (MHS) contract to replace the Beretta M9 as the standard U.S. military sidearm, and later that year the U.S. Army announced the 101st and 82nd Airborne divisions were to be the first units to receive the M17. Only 3,000 of these pistols were returned to SIG Sauer for sale on the commercial market. The M17 is a variant of the SIG Sauer 320 modular pistol and integrates an ambidextrous thumb safety to the fire control unit. Features illuminated night sights, optics mounting point on the slide, "+P" weight recoil spring, and Coyote PVD metal finish and polymer color. The grip unit is marked size "M." The original box identifies the pistol as "UDM17-9-SURPLUS" and contains two extra magazines, a standard weight recoil spring, cable lock, and papers. An included Freedom of Information Act letter from the Department of Defense states this pistol was received by the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, on December 17, 2017, and was later turned back in to the Fort Campbell Logistics Readiness Center on December 11, 2019.

Excellent as a U.S. Army issued pistol, retaining 90% plus of original Coyote PVD finish with light edge wear and holster wear. The grip frame has moderate handling wear as expected from a duty sidearm. Mechanically excellent. Box is very fine.
