Sig Sauer presents the M18X, the formidable successor to the M17/M18—the sidearm of the U.S. Military. This next-generation pistol epitomizes both performance and reliability while showcasing the advanced features of the X-Series. Factory equipped with the rugged and innovative ROMEO-M17 red dot optic, the M18X with its coyote tan finish brings military precision to the shooting enthusiast.
Shooters often face the challenge of unreliable optics and insufficient control with standard-issue pistols. Aiming precision can be compromised in adverse conditions, while managing recoil and achieving rapid reloads can add to the difficulty level.
The M18X's factory-mounted, fully enclosed ROMEO-M17 red dot optic provides an aspheric glass lens for zero distortion and ultimate protection against the elements. Coupled with an X-Series grip module featuring an extended beavertail and aggressive stippling, the M18X offers exceptional firearm control and faster, more efficient reloads with its magwell extension.
Each detail of the M18X is meticulously designed for resilience and precision. The ROMEO-M17 red dot sight, designed for these pistols, underwent rigorous testing earning an NSN and the trust of military customers globally. This certification is testament to its high-grade design, and with Sig Sauer's SIG LOC mounting system, the optic maintains a low-profile on the slide for optimal co-witnessing with the iron sights.
The M18X also boasts a full stainless steel frame and slide with a Coyote PVD finish for exceptional durability. Shooters can count on the X-Series enhancements for a superior performance that echoes the military's requirements for an adaptive and reliable sidearm.
The extended beavertail and deeper undercuts of the X-Series coyote tan grip module not only ensure a firm grip but also add to the overall aesthetics of the pistol. Meanwhile, the X-Series flat blade trigger system offers a clean break with each pull to aid shooters in precision aiming and fire control.
The magwell extension is a standout element, designed to speed up reload times and improve accuracy during competitive shooting or tactical scenarios. Its integration into the X-Series grip module exhibits Sig Sauer's dedication to enhancing user experience without compromising on the M18X's combat-proven pedigree.
*Note: In earlier models, the M18 came with one, two, or three magazines. All M18 pistols, no matter the UPC code, all have only one magazine when we ship. Sig has made this a little confusing, and we are keeping it simple: one (1) 17-Round magazine ships with this pistol, no matter what the box says. If you live in a restricted state where a 17-Round magazine is not allowed, but the pistol is allowed, you will receive the pistol with no magazine.

THIS IS A SERIALIZED FIREARM. It must ship to a Federal Firearms License holder. No civilian exceptions.
Buying and shipping through Charlie’s is easy, but there is some information you need to know. Only a federally licensed firearms dealer may receive a firearm or federally regulated serialized item (like a receiver or suppressor). We cannot ship these items directly to you. Please follow these steps to process your transaction:
1) Check your state laws to make sure the federally regulated item you want to purchase is legal in your state. Your FFL dealer should be able to give you all of the necessary information regarding your state specific laws. But, if we ship to your FFL, and there is a legal issue, we cannot accept a return. So please make sure that you know and follow your local and state laws.
2) A quick google search will show you what Federal Firearms Licensed (FFL) dealers are in your area. When you are ready to purchase, contact the FFL dealer you would like to use and get their shipping address. During the check-out, put YOUR address in the “billing” section and the FFL DEALER’S address in the “shipping” section. If you don’t know your FFLs address, that’s okay. You can send the information later.
3) After check out, make sure to contact your FFL dealer to ensure they will receive your shipment for you (most do this for a small fee, but you should always double check).
4) Have your dealer send us a copy of their FFL to FFL@CharliesCustomClones.com. Charlie’s does not reach to your FFL (MAKE THEM EARN THEIR FEE!!!)
5) Be patient! In order to ensure we remain compliant with all federal laws, our compliance department is kept separate from our sales and operations team. Please allow a few days for our compliance officer to verify all of your dealer’s documents and ensure all federal laws are being observed. You should hear from our compliance department within 3-4 business days. If not, feel free to reach out for a status update.
That’s it! We try to make this process as simple as possible for our customers, but if you are unfamiliar the process or have any other questions, please visit our How to Buy a Firearm page for more details.
California and New York residents please, click here. The process may be different due to state specific laws.
NOTE: The free shipping option does not apply to full rifles, unless purchased with a riflescope. If you choose free shipping at check-out, we will bill you for shipping later.
