The Sig Sauer M18 9mm pistol (brand part no. M18-9-CSS-MS-10) is the commercial version of the pistol the U.S. military adopted as its standard-issue sidearm, built on the same P320 platform that’s earned a reputation for reliability across military and law enforcement service. Sig Sauer outfits this model with a Coyote PVD-finished, optics-ready slide cut for the Romeo-M17 footprint, along with night sights and a 3.9-inch, Black DLC-coated barrel for everyday carry and duty use. It comes with three 10-round magazines and a manual thumb safety, giving shooters an extra layer of retention for holstered carry. Whether it’s a duty pistol, a home-defense gun, or a range companion, the M18 delivers proven military-pedigree performance in a compact carry package.
