Selected by the U.S. military in January 2017 as the winner of the Modular Handgun System (MHS) competition to replace the Beretta M9 series. The M17 is a variant of SIG Sauer's P320 line of striker-fired, semi-automatic pistols, which utilizes a serialized fire control unit (FCU) that can be readily swapped between grip frames of differing size, with the M17's FCU incorporating a bilateral thumb safety. This pistol is one of many that were issued out to U.S. Army in late 2017, with only 3,000 later returned to SIG Sauer and made available for sale on the commercial market. Features illuminated night sights, optics mounting point on the slide, extra weight recoil spring, and coyote PVD metal finish. The coyote colored polymer grip unit is marked size "M". Includes the original matching SIG Sauer box dated "19-DEC-2019" identifying the pistol as "UDM17-9-SURPLUS", along with two extra magazines, an extra recoil spring assembly, "M17" marked user's manual, and an action lock. Also included is a Freedom of Information Act letter from the Department of Defense listing the pistol by serial number as issued to Alpha Company, 5th Battalion, 101st Aviation Regiment, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, on December 17, 2017, and was later turned in to the Fort Campbell Logistics Readiness Center by Alpha Company, 5th Battalion, 101st Aviation Regiment on May 6, 2019. Note: This item features a high-capacity magazine which has a capacity above 15 rounds and cannot be sold or transferred to residents in states where handgun magazine capacity is limited to no more than 15 rounds. Please check your local laws and regulations prior to bidding.

Exceptionally fine overall as issued to the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), retaining 95% original Coyote PVD finish with some minor edge wear, darkening on the slide, minor cycling wear, and light handling marks. The grip unit has some scattered light handling wear and scrapes, as expected on a U.S. Army issued sidearm. Mechanically excellent. The box is very fine.
