It’s also been said that more than a couple instructors at the SIG Academy are using Icarus Precision grip modules on their personal guns. I’d say they like it just fine, considering you can find Icarus Precision grip modules now in the SIG Custom Works P320 configurator. What Does SIG Think?Ī shop in Washington State reverse-engineered the SIG FCU’s cut and then re-engineered the grip module from scratch while also adding in a multitude of options and improvements.
#Icarus precision upgrade#
In my experience, if your P320 or P365 is a gun you currently spend a lot of range time with, or one you want to spend more range time with, the cost for the upgrade is absolutely worth it.
They’re machined from billet aluminum and include contours, lines, and features not found in the OEM polymer grips. These aren’t made of plastic squirted into molds. The other way to look at it is as a complete makeover of how your existing gun looks and handles. One way to look at that is it’s most of the cost for a complete P365 or P320. Is It Worth It?Īt the time of this article’s composition prices range from $250-$425 for an Icarus grip module. The end result is a gun that feels more willing to remain in the hand, shot after shot. The aluminum Icarus module doesn’t add much weight over SIG’s polymer, but it’s there. Maybe a mini electric knife would fit.Īn unseen benefit to an aluminum grip module is the added weight. I’ve reached out to USA Today regarding their famous chainsaw attachment to see if I could find one small enough for the SIG, but no luck so far. Now the only restriction to what attachments the little pistol can carry is space. The logical improvement was the addition of a Picatinny rail.
This simple modification permits a higher support-hand grip. First was the double undercut of the trigger guard. How about a thumb rest for your support hand, the proverbial “gas pedal” for shooting fast? They do those, too.įor me the biggest improvements to my 365XL came from a combination of a few features. They mimic OEM, featuring different contours, or mimic the oddly-comfortable squareness of a 2011. That is to say from an aluminum near-clone of the plastic grip than came with your gun all the way to double-undercut trigger guards, flipped beaver tails, and grip geometry. Options range from basic to fully tricked out.
With seven options for P320 FCUs and five for the P365 family, Icarus has a billet-aluminum grip module for just about any taste. Some of Icarus Precision’s P320 grip module options What’s It Good For? Beginning with personal preference, adding in requests and feedback from members of the Special Ops community, and then refining it all with customer feedback, Icarus is now producing a wide variety of grip modules offering enhancements from mild to wild. What started out as an experiment has turned into a full-time business turning out functional art. Icarus Precision is one such company and is not only making grip modules with different options and ergonomics than OEM, but also making them of billet aluminum.
Independent companies willing to risk the R&D resources to make something truly different. What it took for more than “now available in insert-color-here” was aftermarket support. With the size and heft of SIG SAUER behind it we finally got modular handgun systems with the P320 and P365, thanks increasingly to the aftermarket. Other manufacturers like SCCY and Honor Guard did the same, but the modularity never went much beyond the same grip modules being offered in different colors. Others like Grand Power had been using this construction style for years to improve longevity and trigger feel consistency, but SIG managed to make the FCU the serialized part recognized by the ATF as the legal “firearm.” When the modular SIG P320 and P365 were launched they touted a chassis-like system for the fire control groups.
