SIG Sauer follows up on releasing commemorative editions of the MHS pistol by announcing the M18 Commemorative Edition. Just like the M17 Commemorative Edition, the M18 comes with the same package contents that makes it a collector’s item.

The M18 is the more compact version of the M17 MHS pistol, the P320 pistol made to the specifications of the US Army’s MHS program. Whilst the U.S. Army went for the M17, the Marines and Air Force went for the M18 pistol and overall it’s a win for the SIG Sauer as the major branches of the U.S. Military went for the P320 variants.

This is a limited release and it has the same coating, markings and components as the MHS that was adapted by the U.S  Army. To make it more special, owners of the M18 Commemorative Edition can also get the case that comes with foam inserts to place the pistol and the accompanying documents. The special case be purchased at the SIG Sauer store for US$199.99.

As for the actual M18 Commemorative Edition, it can be purchased from authorized dealers.

We wonder if ever the SIG Air ProForce would also release airsoft versions of the commemorative editions of the M17 and M18 pistols.

Information below is from the actual SIG Sauer Page:

The limited release of the M18-Commemorative Edition of the official U.S. military service pistol, a variant of the SIG SAUER P320, is now available.

The M18-Commemorative is a 9mm, striker-fired pistol.  The pistol features a coyote carry length grip module, a coyote-tan PVD coated stainless steel slide with the same optic cut as specified by the MHS contract, the original coyote-tan colored controls, an ambidextrous manual safety, and is equipped with SIGLITE front night sights and removable night sight rear plate.  The M18-Commemorative ships with two 21-round magazines and one 17-round magazine and is sold in the same cardboard packaging as delivered to the U.S. Army.
