Sig P320 fires during drop safety test

[Joe_K]

Work around firearms long enough and you will see all manner of stupid shit and stupid people. Guns of all kinds get dropped, thrown, or knocked out if the hands of newbs to experienced and well trained individuals. Slings break, holsters break, hands get cold, wet and slippery from sweat, blood, oil, mud, sunscreen. People get stung by insects, have a severe negative medical experience,(heart attack, stroke, seizure, pass out from dehydration etc), cases fall open, Ive seen high winds pick up mats or target sheets pick them up and fling firearms onto concrete, firearm racks break etc. Its simply a matter of when.

At least there's fun to be had.

I would never judge someone who had a medical condition. That's fully understandable IMHO.

Cases, racked weapons hitting the deck not ideal but provided they were stored/racked correctly not a big deal.

Looks like Apex has suspended sales of their P320 trigger.

Yep, I got an email from Apex today;

Temporary Suspension Of
Apex Sig P320 Triggers


Please discontinue using or carrying your Sig P320 pistol equipped with the Apex Curved Advanced Trigger.




Due to Sig Sauer’s recently announced “voluntary upgrade” of the Sig Sauer P320 pistol, announced on August 8, 2017, Apex, out of an abundance of caution, has chosen until further notice to suspend sales of those aftermarket trigger products specifically designed for use in the Sig Sauer P320.

Additionally, for those customers that have purchased an Apex Curved Advanced Trigger (part #112-022), due to how closely the Curved Advanced Trigger’s design reflects that of the current Sig Sauer stock factory trigger, we are asking customers to stop using this trigger and to please contact Apex Customer Service at (623) 322-0200 or guns@apextactical.com to return the trigger in exchange for credit towards any one of our Apex products.
Regarding the Apex Flat Advanced Trigger (part #112-021), and the Apex Flat-Faced Action Enhancement Trigger (part #112-020), Apex engineers have conducted controlled drop tests at the -30 degree angle with each of these flat triggers and have not had a discharge occur. HOWEVER, because this is too small a sample, and due to the fact that Sig Sauer has indicated that its voluntary upgrade will include more than just the trigger, we advise caution and warn against accepting the use of either of these two Apex triggers as solutions to the factory drop safe issue. THEY ARE NOT.

If you own and have installed an Apex aftermarket trigger for your P320, and in light of the recent announcement from Sig Sauer you feel it is unsafe to use, please discontinue using or carrying your pistol immediately.

I read this weekend that they're putting the M17 trigger group into the p230s as a fix.

I guess that means the thumb safety as well. That sucks, wonder if there is an option to just return the damn thing.

No safety.

Read the Soldier Systems article.

According to the soldier Systems article, the trigger and striker assembly, plus a disconnector. No safety. Requires smith work to the gun to fit the new parts.

Looks like the Glock guys get their dingledongle after all.

Sig was supposed to publish the process owners need to take to get the fix today. I haven't seen it yet...
