Sig P320 fires during drop safety test

[Skip]

Does it much matter as long as they are getting back working firearms that won't AD as shown on the various tests and that have the correct serial numbers as well as any aftermarket equipment the owners had installed?

I must be missing something because I don't understand why people are freaking out over THIS part of the problem instead of the fact the gun can fire when bumped. So many of us have spouted the mantra, "there's no such thing as an accidental discharge, just negligent ones" that I wouldn't have expected all the denialism about the P320's potential for ADs. Would we then classify any drop-fires or slide-bump fires by owners who DIDN'T send their pieces in to be fixed as NDs?

Why would it matter? Because some people will have guns that don't have the tossed down the driveway look from all the YouTube vid "testing."




But seriously, there is probably different wear and handling. And some people like to customize their guns. It's just another thing that will piss people off over the whole thing. Sig has really screwed the pooch and apparently is into that kind of thing because they keep doing it.

And the P320 doesn't fire when "bumped." It's taking a hell of lot more to AD these guns like smacking it with a hammer five times in the right spot.

I don't know if this vid is legit, but the video claims this is the "fix"...

Claims a much heavier, gritty trigger pull.

Like I said pages back... Heavier trigger = greater margin of safety. The market didn't want this and I suspect the commercial P320 is now dead.

I would be totally shocked by that.

Instead of starting anew thread, i figured this might fit in here. I got an offer for a p320 Compact for my G26 gen 4. The Sig hasnt been "fixed". Would it not be smart thing to make that trade? I've never owned a Sig 320. So I might get it and not like it and Im worried I would be stuck with it since it hasn't been sent back to Sig

If the concern was based on the actual scope of the problem, I wouldn't have a problem with that trade. Understanding that the trigger might change after it's been sent back.

But since people are freaking out, I wouldn't go near a P320. We have no idea what the market will do with used P320s (corrected or not). Like you said, who knows if you can trade it off if you don't like it.

I have one in my bag or on my hip at all times. Couldn’t convince me to carry anything else. No one has had the recall done, Sig is still ramping up to start the work.

Guns are a personal preference. I love the way a 320 feels in my hand. In fact I did some dry fire the other night with my 17 and I had to push myself to use it. Its a fine weapon but I much prefer the 310 feel in my hand.

The bottom line is Sig dropped the ball. It's 2017, a dropped firearm is inherently dangerous, buying or owning a supposedly duty grade handgun for self defense that can easily discharge itself when dropped does not seem to be a very prudent choice.

Well, mine is back from Sig.
It took exactly 2 weeks from shipping date.
The trigger feels a little heavier, but it still shoots like a dream!
Smooth, no over travel to speak of, it does require a full travel of the slide to reset the striker.
I LOVE IT!

Shipped mine off to them on 1/17 and it's on its way back to me now. Pretty quick turn around.
