Brouwer LLC M1823 Grip Module - Aluminum

The Ultimate P320 Upgrade

The Brouwer M1823 Grip Module corrects the main ergonomic issues with the P320 platform – high bore axis, rounded slippery grip, short beavertail. The modern 2011 pistol is the standard for shooting performance, control, and ergonomics. With the design of the SIG P320 series, we were able to bring some of that performance and control to polymer pistols.

Brouwer Grip Module Summary Of Improvements

Improved Handling:

The Brouwer P320 Grip Module greatly improves point of aim repeatability by utilizing ergonomics nearly identical to the 2011. The front strap angle has been changed to 107.5 degrees, with a back strap angle of 67.5 degrees to cause the pistol to seat into the hand when gripped. This geometry aids the shooter by placing the bore axis in a natural position.

The beaver tail has been moved up to reduce the height over bore while still maintaining the full functionality of the SIG P320 fire control group. The beaver tail has been profiled to draw the hand into the gun while providing a large surface to aid in reducing the effort to mitigate recoil. The rear profile of the beaver tail has been shaped to reduce catching the web of the user’s hand when gripping the gun promoting quick grip acquisition.

A large trigger guard was kept to ensure use with gloves in cold weather and reprofiled to remove unnecessary features. The profile of the trigger guard was moved up as high as possible to improve grip index relative to the beavertail while maintaining clearance for the P320 trigger. The tolerancing for the mag release button has been reduced to combat dust ingress.

Factory Compatibility

The grip module is designed to use all factory equipment that comes with a SIG P320: Fire control unit, magazine catch (reversible), slide stop, take down pin. The module accepts factory SIG P320 magazines (9mm) 17rd, and 21rd. The module is compatible with both Safety Selector equipped P320 and without. Be sure to order the correct version!

Holster Compatibility

The M1811 grip module has been provided to the following manufacturers. They have tested the M1811 with their products and provided their feedback and assessment of compatibility.

Safariland:
Fully compatible.

Haley Strategic:
Incog X fully compatible.

AlienGEAR:
Rapid Force, Photon both light bearing and non are fully compatible. The cloak series will vary depending on the configuration.

RDR Gear:
All IWB are fully compatible.

Grip Texture

Simulated side scales similar to the 1911 are present to stiffen the grip and fill the natural void in the palm of the hand without increasing the front and back strap radii.

Both the front and back straps feature meticulously machined, aggressive grip patterns, ensuring a rock-solid, reliable grip even in the harshest shooting environments.

Improved Magwell Design

The grip modules magwell has been profiled to ensure a loaded magazine can be inserted at up to 45 degrees out of rotation, and 20 degrees out of axial alignment with the magwell.

 Heat Treated Chromoly 4130

The finished M1823 modules will be fully CNC milled from Billet 4130 Chromoly and coated with Armor Lube’s proprietary DLC!

They will feature all the same geometry as our existing M1811 grip modules with some additional features.

Magwell Extension

The grip module is capable of accepting an additional flared magwell extension should the user desire.

Accessory Rail

A MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail is maintained under the slide in front of the trigger guard. Note, installation of a light, or under barrel attachment adjusted for a P320 may require a universal mount adapter as the trigger guard has been improved.

Note: please use the “U” adapter plate for surefire products.

Accessory Compatibility

  • The M1823 grip module is designed to fit flush with full size slides 4.7 inch or longer. It is also fully compatible with shorter slides with compensators.

  • The module is compatible with 17 and 21 round magazines. They must have the newer square peg base pads which feature beveled sides. The older round peg base pads will not work.

Colors:

The "2011" I have at home.

I have the M1811 and now this and I prefer the M1823 over the M1811. The steel frame moves the weight distribution back to the hand. Weight of the frame absorbs recoil, makes the gun shoot flatter and faster back on target. The grip texture is very aggressive and on bare skin will not move. Grip angle is 1911 in nature causing a more natural point of aim. This is my work gun and walking around the weight isn't inhibiting or awkward. Fitment of other P320 products and holsters I have not had an issue with.

Would I buy again if I had to replace? Yes, Definitely Worth the Wait!

Love the weight and feel

I love the weight and the feel of the grip texture. I wish the steel mag funnel was available when I got the grip however and I would of not got the aluminum one. I know it it is a 1911 style but also wish it had option to change grip panels for beefier wider ones to fill out the palms.

Finally!

Finally got it! It took WAY longer than I thought, 9 month to be exact, but it worth the wait. Grip modules are exceptional. Nothing like this on the market.

Great fit and finish.

I just received my order; it did take longer than expected but the end product is absolutely beautiful. The fit and finish is what I would expect for a product of this price. The FCU drops in perfectly. The Slide stop fits exactly as expected. The DLC finish and cut for the stippling is 100%. The weight provided by this grip is exactly what the 320 needs. Like a previous reviewer says expensive but you very much get what you pay for with this grip module.

1823 steel grip module

Beautifully made and perfectly machined. Really I can not say how well executed this grip module is. Worth the wait. Yes, it is expensive, but you get what you pay for.
