Documented U.S. Army Issued
SIG Sauer M17 Semi-Automatic
Pistol with Box and U.S. Army
FOIA Letter - Serial no. TF004213,
9x19mm cal., 4 3/4 inch round bbl.,
coyote PVD/black finish, plastic grips.
This pistol is one of many that were issued out to U.S. Army starting in late 2017, with roughly 3,000 later returned to SIG Sauer and made available for sale on the commercial market.
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 utilize a serialized fire control unit (FCU) that can be readily swapped between grip frames of differing size, with the M17’s FCU
also incorporating a bilateral thumb safety. Features illuminated night sights, an optic mounting point machined into the top of the slide, an extra weight recoil spring, coyote colored
polymer grip unit marked size “M” on the backstrap, along with coyote PVD finish on the slide and some of the metal components. Includes a matching numbered SIG Sauer shipping
box dated “23-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 response letter from the U.S. Department of the Army, listing the pistol by serial number as issued to Bravo Company of the 327th
Infantry Battalion at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, on December 18, 2017, and later turned in to the Fort Campbell Logistics Readiness Center by Bravo Company of the 327th Infantry
Battalion on December 10, 2019. This pistol is also two digits off from another FOIA documented U.S. Army issued SIG Sauer M17 pistol in this auction, Lot 388.
CONDITION: Exceptionally fine as a U.S. Army issued M17 service pistol, retaining 95% plus original coyote PVD and black finishes with, some minor holster pattern edge wear, minor cycling
wear, and some scattered minor handling marks. The grip module is fine with scattered mild scrapes and scuffing on the textured grip, hinting at the extent of this pistol’s use in its window of service. Mechanically excellent. The
box is very fine.
Estimate: 2,750 - 4,250
