Here's the Latest On the Lawsuits Against SIG SAUER Claiming P320 Pistols are Unsafe - The Truth About Guns

When we last left the ongoing saga of claims that the P320 pistol is somehow unsafe, a small police department in Connecticut had made public a video of an officer’s duty gun discharging while he was involved in a tussle with a suspect. If you haven’t seen it, here it is . . . Officer’s […]

I wouldn't hesitate to buy one if I wanted one. I could tell from the very beginning and the first batch of stories, most involving female police officers, of which I know quite a few, that these were negligent discharges parading as gun defects.
 
I would buy one in a second if I was interested in another striker pistol, but heck I am still thinking about selling the one I own and buying a hammer fired pistol to replace it. Now looking at the SW Equalizer. Still leaning to an EMP 4.

It really doesn't matter what the courts say. The gun's reputation is already shot and no amount of evidence is gonna change that. Nobody is gonna buy a gun that "might" have a problem. If you already own one, resale has gone straight down the toilet. It doesn't matter if its true or not, rumors have a way of being louder than facts. :rolleyes:

Sig has sold millions of P320s and show no signs of slowing down.

They are the No 1 exporter of handguns in the world and it’s not P226s that are leading the way.
 
I am uncomfortable with striker fired pistols of any manufacturer unless they have some form of a manual safety.

I don't think the Sig 320 is any worse or any better than any other striker fired pistol, but I do think their design might make them more sensitive to the normal +/- tolerances seen daily in the manufacturing process.

i have a rather wide variety of guns, from hammer fired to striker, from safety to no safety.

each gun has/had it's development, design and production and testing

in CCW class, we were asked......."should you trust a safety on ANY type of gun 100%"......????

in "Basic Pistol" class for my NRA course, we were asked the same question.

if anyone answered yes in class...........they were told they are fools to do so..........

my Hellcat (striker) which is my daily ccw...has no safety

my G-30 (striker) which is a back up ccw......has no safety

my Sig P320 (range gun) .........has no safety.

Ah, your G30 does have a safety, the blade trigger is the safety, the gun will not fire and the trigger will not pull back unless you have the blade compressed, hence, trigger safety, also your Hellcat has the blade trigger, hence trigger safety, just no manual safety.

Thanks for posting that sir.

Lots of great comments...:)

I had a Sig P320 Compact. It felt ok, had a nice trigger, and was accurate. I went back and forth on whether to keep it. I verified from Sig that my P320 had been upgraded.

I got offered a trade of a Glock 19 Gen 5 with night sites, and extra magazines. I'd never handled a Glock 19 Gen 5 and it fit my hand better than the Sig P320. I've owned Gen 2 and Gen 3 Glocks and they were ok. Maybe it was that I hadn't handled Glocks in a while but the Gen 5 felt like the Glock I always thought it could be.

I like Sig Sauers a lot. I've owned several P220's, a Sig 1911 revolution, various P229 models, and P239. But all the stuff about the P320 just didn't sit well with me. I believe the P320 is a good design.

I think some firearm owners get complacent with safety. I have snap caps for the handguns I train with and handle frequently. I never ASSume my weapon presentation technique is perfect. So i'm constantly trying to smooth it out and keep it as safe as possible.

The deciding factor was the Glock fitting my hand better than the P320. Plus the G19 was easier to rack the slide than the P320, which is important for a 65 year old like myself. I wanted to like the P320 but I just never bonded with it.

I've wanted to handle a Sig P365XL. Maybe I will get to one of these days. I've always been more accurate with Sig Sauers than any other semi-auto. I'm glad Sig prevailed in all of those lawsuits. I hope Sig is around for a long time..:)
