The Texas Department of Public Safety (TXDPS) has adopted the SIG SAUER P320 as its official service firearm. The Texas Department of Public Safety will acquire 4,000 SIG SAUER P320 pistols for official service use throughout the TXDPS Highway Patrol, Criminal Investigations Divisions (CID), Aircraft Division, Executive Protection Bureau, Intelligence and Counterterrorism, Texas Rangers, SWAT, and Special Operations Group. TXDPS is one of the largest law enforcement agencies in the country.

Announcements of law enforcement picking pistols is often dismissed as a political choice by a non-shooting police chief. Not so much in Texas. These guys are shooters and demand rugged reliability along the border and across Texas. They picked the 320. Expect more agencies to do the same.

Reasons cited for the change is the modularity and ability to customize the P320 pistol, combined with the ultimate in reliability and accuracy. The P320 is a modular, striker-fired pistol available in full-size, carry, compact, and subcompact sizing. The serialized trigger group makes the P320 adaptable to multiple caliber, size, and grip options.

The P320 is available in 9mm, .357SIG, 40S&W, and .45ACP, with a choice of contrast, or SIGLITE Night Sights. The intuitive 3-point takedown requires no trigger pull for disassembly, and safety features include a striker safety, disconnect safety, and optional manual safety.
