The 19th Special Forces Group is currently evaluating the Flux Raider, a specialized grip module for the P320 pistol, which could potentially revolutionize sidearm use in special operations. This module turns the standard M17 pistol into a more compact and versatile weapon resembling a submachine gun, with enhancements like a stock system, forward grip, and accessory rail for optics and lights. There is also speculation and rumors of its testing with other SOCOM units and potential adoption by Navy SEALs.
  

Key Points: 

  1. The Flux Raider is an accessory for the P320 pistol that significantly enhances its capabilities, providing features normally seen on larger firearms.
  2. Special Forces units are testing the Flux Raider for its potential to outperform traditional sidearms in modern combat scenarios.
  3. Equipped with a stock and optic, the Flux Raider extends the effective range and accuracy of the M17 pistol, offering greater control.
  4. The compact size and increased capability of the Raider-equipped M17 make it ideal for scenarios like boarding ships and close-quarters combat.
  5. Despite no official confirmation, there are rumors of the Raider being considered by other elite units such as Navy SEALs, particularly DEVGRU.
