Sig Sauer P320 XTEN 10mm vs Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 10mm

These two full-size 10mm strikers are closer than the model names suggest: both hold 15 rounds, both are 5.6" tall and 1.3" wide, both are optic-ready, and both list a 4.3 lb trigger pull with two magazines included. The Sig Sauer P320 XTEN 10mm runs a 0.4" longer barrel (5.0" vs 4.6") and is 0.6" longer overall (8.5" vs 7.9"), with XRAY3 day/night sights, no manual safety, and a $130.99 higher MSRP ($829.99 vs $699.00). The Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 10mm is 3.7 oz lighter (29.3 oz vs 33.0 oz), adds a manual thumb safety, and actually lists 0.1" more sight radius (6.9" vs 6.8").

Pick the Sig Sauer P320 XTEN if:

• You want the 5.0" barrel, 0.4" longer than the M&P's
• You want day/night tritium sights from the factory rather than white-dot irons
• You prefer no manual safety and 33.0 oz of weight to settle recoil

Pick the Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 if:

• You want 3.7 oz less to carry, at 29.3 oz
• A manual thumb safety is part of how you carry
• $699.00 against $829.99, with four interchangeable palmswell inserts

Capacity, width, height and trigger weight are identical, and the sight radius difference is 0.1" in the shorter gun's favor. The decision is barrel length and sights against weight, a thumb safety and $130.99.
