All to cater to the bottom end small hands of the female! HaHa!
The P320 does has three grip sizes, small, medium, and large. I think this appealed to the evaluators, whoever they were, over the replaceable back strap some of the competitors had. It also has a user changeable mag release.
I have pawed the P320 and find it appealing, but haven't shot one, and would love to. The X5 model claims to have addressed the high bore axis complaint many have with Sigs by removing material under the trigger guard and beaver tail, and I would love to shoot it as well.
Definitely be interesting to see how it performs once Sig has to start cranking out big numbers.

I haven't fiddled with one yet,, BUT
The sizes deals with slide-barrel length and grip length, just like the glock.
The circumference is the same, to match the interchangeable double stack magazine.
SO,, Butter-Cup's pixie hands is not fixed by the "SIZE"...
