19 FORT BENNING, Ga. The top rangers from across the Army gathered at Fort Benning, Georgia, to compete in the 37th annual Best Ranger Competition, from April 16-18, 2021.

SIG Sauer M17 Trophy Pistols: Why They Are a Really Rare Gun
The competition is a famous and grueling event in which the winning team gets a pair of special sidearms. This year those were M17s rather than the old 1911s.
First lieutenants Vince Paikowski and Alastair Keys, both from the 75th Ranger Regiment, each won a very special trophy. For this year’s U.S. Army Best Ranger Competition, New Hampshire based SIG Sauer created a pair of U.S. Army Best Ranger Competition M17 Trophy Pistols.
The custom M17 pistols, which are based on the standard sidearm of the U.S. Army, were designed and built by SIG Custom Works earlier this year. In years past, the winning teams received Colt M1911-style pistols, which were presented in a ceremony at the end of the competition. This year, to reflect the change in the standard issued sidearm, the winners received the M17s.
