Icarus Precision, Accuracy, Control, Enhanced “A.C.E.” 320 X-Compact Grip Module

Thursday, January 21st, 2021

The SIG SAUER P320 is truly a modular pistol and with the introduction of the P320 Fire Control Unit as a stand alone product, it’s even easier to assemble your own custom pistol thanks to companies like Icarus Precision who are making great frames for this platform. Icarus came on my radar last year when I found out about their frames for the P320 which are machined from billet 7075 T-6 Aluminum. During this year’s SHOT Show on Demand, Icarus Precision unveiled a new model.

The new Accuracy, Control, Enhanced or “A.C.E.” 320 X-Compact Grip Module is a great choice for a concealed carry build.

This frame features horizontal textured index points on the front strap, back strap and sides, to help increase draw speed and handling making for a consistent positive and precise grip. They’ve also slightly modified the beaver tail to reduce muzzle flip.

Although it is designed to be compatible with the OEM Sig X-Compact 15 round mag, they have reduced the overall circumference of the grip handle profile. It will also accept the 21 round magazine. There’s also a deep undercut trigger guard allowing for a higher grip point. Finally, there’s a Mil-Std 1913 Picatinny rail and lanyard point.

Offered in safety and non-safety versions in Armor Black, Tungsten, Midnight Bronze, OD, FDE and Raw.

Available 1/30/21 @ 8PM EST.
