Sig 320 safety issues

[anachronism]

Glock went through this nonsense too.

Here's a good YT link for mechanical information on SIGs, including the P320: https://www.youtube.com/@SIGMECHANICS

… unintentional firings by its model P320 pistols.

… are calling for it to make critical safety design improvements.

“Unintentional firings” is a very specific wording that very carefully avoids claiming any mechanical failure, while still allowing that assumption by most who hear it. So we won’t get any attempt to show an actual mechanical failure, because nobody has ever reproduced one.

What specific safety designs have they identified? Because a closer reading makes it sound like they are saying the trigger is too light for a gun without a manual safety, but Sig makes manual safety models.

So it seems to me like whoever bought the non manual safety model gun should be the target of this lawsuit.

I was just talking about this again in another forum.

2. The military M17 and M18 are not experiencing this issue. Those models have a manual safety. The manual safety is a trigger bar block. All it does is prevent the trigger from being pulled. The M17 and M18 and the manual safety P320 should also be experiencing these issues if it is a failure of the sear and striker. I havent heard of any reports of these issues from the military. Having been both a Soldier and a cop I can tell you that the average M17 carried in the field by a Soldier will experience FAR more shock and vibration than the average P320 in a cops duty holster.

This. I'm admittedly a Sig fan but if there was a true issue I'd think the military would have found it

Not as apples:apples as most think. Posted earlier in the thread:

We lack details in what's reported by media, and lack everything in those incidents handled between citizen/officer/agency and the manufacturer directly. M17/M18 and contract guns are built and accountable to spec(s), 320s in your big-box and LGS are built to whatever. Most common problem with mil M17/M18 seems to be loose/lost rear sights.

I have a 320 but replaced the stock trigger with an Agency Arms one. Similar to the Glock triggers.

What's your take on that trigger? How does it compare to the stock trigger, and to a Glock trigger?

There is also a lot of talk about holster designs for light bearing P320s as well. This situation has gone on for such a long time without any sort of conclusions.

Pretty much identical to a Glock Trigger (better than the stock one). I like it better than the stock SIG trigger. I shoot both Glock and the 320 a lot so muscle memory is identical.

Thanks!

There are very very few people in the military that carry a pistol full time and even fewer yet that carry (condition 1) round in chamber.

Edit to add: And the guys that do are carrying Glock.
