I was up at Sig Sauer last week and before going I knew I was going to ask one question and hope "No" was the answer.
I wanted to buy one of the M18 Commemoratives that "replicates" the trials pistol chosen by USMC as the Beretta replacement.
Its a dumb Marine fetish I have......I wish there was a cure.
Sadly the counter guy said "Yes, yes we do have those in stock"
Its twice the cost of a plain M18 with black controls and unlike the trials pistol it probably wont even shoot me when I drop it...but its got baby shit colored controls and stocking numbers stamped all over it.....The standard M18 is probably closer to an issue pistol as the issue guns now have black controls.
So a new gun requires a new holster.
Garrett Industries ordering......EASY! Picked coyote, lining, sweatshield, desired attaching option, even ordered an adapter so I can use it as a training holster with a G-Code set up.
Safariland though with ALS is the desired training holster.
Used their holster finder and got some 38 choices for a Sig 320 compact. You think any of them match what Im looking for - NO!
Can I get coyote in a 6377 ALS as it indicates is possible? Click on the link appears only black if you want a slide attachment. If Im willing to get a 6377 ALS with Tek Lok though FDE is an option.
Message Safariland because I want a 6377 in Coyote with belt slide even though I plan on mounting a G-Code plate.

Hello,
This holster only comes in black for that particular firearm fit. There may be other colors for different firearms but we have only brought out black for this particular firearm fitment.
Thank you,
Safariland Customer Care.
But I know it comes in FDE with a Tek Lok because that is what I ended up ordering yet with sheets of plastic why cant they throw a coyote blank in the oven and make me what I want? Fuck charge me for it!
I think the USMC is using a 7 series holster for their M18 but its a dual purpose holster to fit the M17 as well.
My work uses the 6377 ALS and its a neat compact design that fits a compact M&P well. I expect similar when I get my FDE one for the Sig.......but oh the mismatching colors.......the horror!
Im just a slave to fashion.
