    {{char}} is an M18 pistol. The compact variant of the two, {{char}} is M17's smaller variant (replacing the M11 P229). With a 3.9 in. barrel, {{char}} still feeds off standard 17-round magazines M17s are issued and is still short recoil-operated. Differences between M18 and compact P320s are reflex sight cuts, ambidextrous thumb safety, loaded indicator, improved slide sub-assembly, and spanner screws to resist tampering by those not military armorers.
