P320 Greatness? The Sig Sauer P320 Spectre Comp Blackout Review

The Verdict

If you're a 320 fan, this is about as de la crème as it gets — I think it's a better gun than the AXG Legion.

Sig Custom Works went all black on this Spectre Comp and stacked it: TXG tungsten-infused grip, flared magwell, 21-round mags, and a flat skeletonized trigger that — dare I say — may be better than the AXG Legion's. The weight is superbly balanced and the comp keeps the muzzle down, even when my ammo was acting up. It costs more than the AXG Legion, and I've decided it's the better gun. I bought this one with my own money and I'd do it again.

/The Rundown

Today it's the Sig Sauer P320 Spectre Comp Blackout — and yes, that name is a mouthful. Sig Custom Works released the original Spectre Comp a few years back with the gold trigger and gray accents; this one goes completely black on the same P320 footprint. Sig did not send this to me. This is my gun — I picked it up from my boys down at Pickett Weaponry in Newberry, Florida, who are always getting me to buy all kinds of crazy stuff. It comes in right around $1,400 depending on where you shop.

Up top I'm running the EOTech EFLX with a 6 MOA dot. I picked it specifically because it's a Delta Point Pro footprint, and this slide takes DPP direct — no plate. If you want to run an RMR or Vortex footprint instead, you'll need a filler plate. Up front there's a TLR-1 HL, mostly for Safariland holster compatibility. One catch on the optic setup: the factory X-Ray night sights will not co-witness with an optic mounted — they just don't sit tall enough.

About that comp: unlike the newer integrated designs like the AXG Legion, the barrel here is threaded and the compensator screws onto the end. The barrel itself isn't ported, but you get lightning cuts along the slide. Controls are dialed — ambidextrous slide stop, swappable mag release, and slide serrations that let you grab this thing from almost any angle, though grabbing underneath is tough with a light hanging there. The grip module is Sig's TXG tungsten-infused material, same idea as the X5 Legion, with a nice flared magwell for fast mag changes, and it feeds from two included 21-round mags.

The trigger is Sig's flat-faced skeletonized unit and I absolutely love it. I've swapped triggers on my 320s before — the Armory Craft adjustable, specifically — but this one can stay. A little take-up, a wall, a clean break, and a reset with maybe 2 millimeters of play after it. After shooting it back to back in my head against the AXG Legion: dare I say this trigger may be better. If not, it's neck and neck.

The range session came with drama, none of it the gun's fault. We were shooting Fiocchi 115 grain from a batch that already gave us trouble a couple weeks ago, and sure enough — a failure to feed right away, plus some weird extraction where brass was going up and forward. I'm almost positive that was pressure issues with that ammo, and I'm not putting it on this gun at all. That stuff is out of here. Beyond the ammo, this thing shot flat, the balance from the tungsten grip is super, super good, and the comp visibly keeps the muzzle flip down.

One honest note for the competition crowd: the laser stippling is perfect for range work — good grip without chewing your hands — but if you're going to comp shoot with it seriously, you're probably going to want a little more aggressive texture. Final thoughts: I'd put it on the back burner for months because it costs more than the AXG Legion and I doubted it could be better. I just made up my mind — it is. And to the P320 haters who show up in the comments anyway: why are you watching 320 videos? There will be another one within twelve months. I'd almost guarantee it.
