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.
