The announcement was officially made today. Many people had been speculating that CBP would follow ICE and adopt the P320.
No word yet on what specific model(s) will be authorized for duty carry. We should have all that info in the next day or two.

320 fanbois be freakin’.
Does that say 47? I woulda guessed a 19x MOS would be the pick.
Great choice. The proven standard.
Seems like yet another agency is moving away from .40 to 9mm.
Uber long baseplates as well, they are tactical AF.
A very solid choice. I’m digging the full size with FCS

What is a G47? A google search says a single stack .380 which makes no sense for CBP.
Only because Sig sucks

Zoom in on the picture.
That’s what happens when the snowflakes want to get rid of the front strap cut out. To strip a stuck mag one handed a shooter needs an even longer base plate.
Or people realize that man hands on 19s they tear the shit out of their hand and bleed all over the place.
Little girly boys don’t have a problem with the cut out on a 19.

That’s cute! I’m 6’2” tall and have man hands as you call them. No issues with the cut out. More likely it’s the shooters with soft, sensitive hands that don’t mix with the cut out. Especially if your RSO is behind you shouting, “We have a bleeder!”
Rather than disabling my ability to do one hand manipulations by filling in the half moon cut, maybe the sensitive hand shooters could just stick to those pink framed Taurus pistols.
So what’s the difference between the G47 and 17MOS?
Funny, never had to strip out a Glock mag (or any magazine for that matter). But I don’t doubt Tactical-Tommies say it’s the $hit to do.
Nobody knows just yet although I believe the 47 is slightly longer.

Hopefully none of us have to do it during a critical incident but if you’ve never practiced it then I recommend you find an instructor who can help you. I forget what the numbers are but getting shot in the hand is more common than many folks think.
Based on your screen name I’m presuming you rode in back of F-4’s. Did you not train for various IFE possibilities? Or did y’all just say the hell with it - we’ll do it live?
The G47 has a G19/45 length rail. Because of that, the G47 has extra material under the slide to enclose the RSA.
Different Rhino, but yes we planned for those.
I just find it interesting that Glock is the only pistol expected to have gonzo side - front cutouts for the ‘stripping of the mag’ which pretty much no other pistols have it / are expected to have it.
Looks like a G45 frame(19 length dust cover), with a 17MOS slide.
I’ve been waiting for that G26, hopefully it becomes available and has the updated breech face.
