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.

Would give 4.5 stars for wait time and no mil/leo discount but its so good and 4.5 rounds up to 5

I bought this bad boy a little over a year ago and I was looking to see what they go for these days. I should have left a review a while ago. I see the 4 star review and really debated following suit because I was also in that guys position. It took about 4 months or so to get my grip but I also ordered it towards the beginning of their launch so I expected to wait a while. Once you get it... insane. I was blown away. Incredible. Wish they did a military/leo discount on them but they dont. I dont even care. Incredible work. Sad I can't compete with my 320 anymore though. Also not to burst any bubbles, but when I bought it, it was $670. Damn inflation.

Best grip mod available for the P320

I put a few hundred rounds a week through my M17. after trying a couple different grip modules it was still snappy. I finally ordered the 1823 steel grip and it was worth the wait. What a difference! It out performs many much more expensive custom 1911/2011s. Great job by the Brouwer team.

I added the M1823 grip module to my P320 X-Full a few weeks ago and I’m loving it

I added the M1823 grip module to my P320 X-Full a few weeks ago and I’m loving it. The shape of the grip feels much better than the TXG I removed, and the aggressive stippling is amazing as well. The grip doesn’t slip and doesn’t tear skin and the pistol points correctly to the target when drawn. On top of all that the fit of the FCU is flawless and it is beautiful piece of work. I ordered another for my X-5 legion.

This 1823 grip module is a game changer

This 1823 grip module is a game changer. I love the grip angle and my draw from my OWB holster is super smooth. It allows me to acquire my red dot quicker. Its worth every penny and I will probably buy another in the future for my next build. Thanks guys for a great product.

ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING. That about sums it up, I put a couple hundred rounds through it and it feels amazing even with a bad grip on the gun from a fumbled draw I can still control the gun.

The M1843 steel Grip is undoubtedly the best... BUT...

The M1843 steel Grip is undoubtedly the best grip ever made for the p320 and for that matter any other grip i’ve owned. I’d give it 10 stars. Some people may say the grip texture is too aggressive but I think it’s the most amazing feel, it sticks to my hand like glue. Combined with my Grayguns Lockwood slide, GG trigger and I think I have the best striker fired competition gun I could make. Such a natural fit, perfect grip angle, balanced feel and its extremely flat shooting. Gives me the control to keep extremely tight groups at the range.
Why did I only give them 4 stars…Read on….
I ordered my M1823 Steel with magwell and offset mag release back in May 2025. Paid over $930 up front. After a couple of weeks I expected to get a notice that it shipped. After a month I reached out but Emails went unanswered, and the only way to get a status was by tracking down a phone number, where I was told they’d “call the shop that makes them” to see when I might get mine. Never got a call back or email so I guess they forgot to make the call.
To be fair: Brouwer’s website does say the M1823 is “backordered.” But here’s the problem, that’s all it says. There’s no disclosure about how long the wait really is. Customers only find out as they wonder why it hasn’t shown up yet, and begin to find a way to get answers. It took a little over 4 months for mine to show up and some have posted up to 6 months. That’s a huge difference between a vague “backorder” note and an honest lead-time estimate.
The result is the same:
* Long, unpredictable wait times.
* No clear communication on timelines.
* Customers effectively giving Brouwer an interest-free loan with no guarantee when (or if I wondered) they’ll get their product.

I was planning a 1 star review because I was so P.O.ed about the long wait, but the product so good that I only took off1 star. Brouwer’s website only has 5 star reviews on the M1843 steel Grip, so when I submit this I’ll find out if it is a real rating or if they only post 5 star reviews.

The quality of this steel grip module is second to none

The quality of this steel grip module is second to none. The stippling on the grip is absolutely the best I've ever felt, especially for a competition stand point. This is the best grip module on the market for the P320. I will be ordering another steel and aluminum version for my duty carry.

M1823 is amazing grip module and perfect for any P320 owner that likes 1911's

I own several high quality guns and none of them have the feel or weight of this M1823 grip module. I am impressed with the fit and finish. The machining is perfect and the finish is smooth and the DLC coating looks great. The P320 FCU slides in like butter and is a perfect fit. The grip texture is a perfect aggressive style for someone who wants their hand locked in the grip knowing it won't slip no matter how sweaty your hand gets. The 1911 style grip angle is perfect and fits in my 1911/2011 collection perfectly. Now you may say someone paid me to say all of this....but the answer is no....I am reviewing this just because I am just that impressed !!!

Worth the wait.

A very well designed grip module of substantial weight. The texture seemed it might be too aggressive, but upon firing my SIG with the grip, I found it controllable and comfortable. The recoil was substantially reduced and it produced tighter groups at a higher rate of fire.
The only negative issue was on me. In my mind I was getting a 1911 grip . Although it has the grip angle of a 1911, it is thicker. It’s a 2011. The feel is different because it holds a double stack magazine. I should have recognized that. But I have no regrets. It’s a performer!

I prefer my M1823 to my StaccatoP

It took many months to get, but the steel frame was the final piece needed to complete my build. Now my M18 is far and away my favorite pistol. Plus I can use it as a cudgel. You don’t want to get pistol whipped* with this thing. It will leave a mark.

*Please do not pistol whip anybody.

The grip that grips back

The M1823 grip module is much more comfortable and steady in the hand than the stock P320 grip module. Well worth the wait!

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!
