I think whatever fix they're contemplating, would require some machine work to current slides. The slide parts are already so minimal, that making new ones (that work) wouldnt fit in the current space. They need a better/proven firing pin block for starters. That measley little mim lever apparently aint cutting it. Looks great on paper, but it isnt stopping ADs in the real world.

No, Hard Rock's assertion that the ICE contract mandated the safety lock the sear, not just the trigger.  If so, that's a straightforward fix for SIG and the entire 320 community, as well as the .mil.  Lock the sear, UDs go away.  He's the only one who's brought up that assertion.

I wouldn't trust anything less than a full on conversion to a plunger style striker block like those seen in... every other pistol on the market.

I don't see that as a retrofit type of job. The part would have to be designed and mass produced, slides would have to be machined for the part, it would probably be difficult to get the existing striker assembly to interface with it, and you'd likely need changes to the FCU to actuate it.

Basically, you're redesigning the whole gun and starting with a clean sheet... which is exactly what Sig did with the P365.

It would seem the easy button would be to do voluntary conversions to a P250 - which allowed any caliber from .22 LR to .45 ACP.  I think relatively little slide milling would be required.

My guy, I'm just trying to get you to accept the reality that some of the P320 holster fires are almost certainly due to something pulling the trigger, and help you understand that it's more likely when the holster doesn't fully cover the trigger guard.

Some people now just use ND as a term for the P320. It's getting sort of stupid IMO. IMO all cases were results of the trigger getting pulled one way or another..

Does anyone remember a loose drawstring causing an 'uncommanded discharge' with this guy's g43?

He literally says it's his opinion.  The man's entitled to his opinion.

SIG has an unseen ally in this fight - centuries of gun making with sears that were safe at half cock or made safe by other safety mechanisms.  When there is an unintentional discharge, it is presumed the user was negligent because guns just don't go off by themselves.

Remington and Taurus worked hard to overturn that presumption by designing and implementing unsafe fire control units that were then distributed to the public in millions of guns.  But in several centuries of gun making, Remington and Taurus have been the exception.  SIG is banking on that reputation of sears that don't just go off on their own.

I actually think the P250 would be pretty cool if it were available, and whatever kinks were worked out. It’d be like a PX4, except compatible with silencers, and knowing current SIG, they’d have every imaginable variety, unlike Beretta. Though I guess the “C” trigger would still be elusive.

I’m not trying to argue with you in the slightest…however knowing the reliability issues of the 250, and the intermittent shake-awake feature of the 320, is it possible that you got a good 250 just like so many people have gotten good 320s?

Was there actually a publicized fix for the 250, or just silent rolling changes of unacknowledged problems?

As per usual SIG, there were rolling changes with no acknowledgement.

Three variations of the P250:

First edition- horrible trigger pull and poor reliability. This was the gun the Air Marshals rejected (as did my own department). Note scalloped frame cutouts and original checkering.
Attached File


Second iteration- better reliability but still heavy trigger. Note the new frame design is pretty much what you see on a P320.
Attached File


Final, third version: good trigger pull and good reliability. Note the trigger profile change from the classic SIG profile.
Attached File


SIG still made some weird design choices on the P250, like having an overly complicated rear sight/firing pin retainer.

Probably this:

https://www.wearethemighty.com/military-news/sig-p320-engineering-review-recommended-in-marine-corps-report/

...Additionally, the Marine Corps investigator recommended that the policy on weapon condition status be reviewed. Rather than having the M18 in condition 1 with a round chambered and the safety on, the investigator recommends that condition 3 with a magazine inserted but no round chambered be employed during lower Force Protection Condition levels. This reduced level of readiness would be in contrast to the Marine Corps policy utilized for the M9 and M45A1 pistols which called for them to have a round chambered and safety engaged when being carried by Marines and civilian law enforcement and security personnel...

WELL NOW.

But will this also fix the failing striker safety fingers?

Or is it just going to mask them?

Mucho interested to see.

If he fixes this before sig ... someone should ask a lawyer who specializes in these sort of things about the possible fallout.

Per stoeger's video it's from the "sig armorer."  Says we should get more info monday of next week (5-12-25).

Keep an eye on that for future info.

Didn’t border patrol can the 250 as soon as they took delivery, and revert back to 20yo USPc pistols due to reliability issues? Or am I thinking of another agency?

I don’t think anyone who’s ever used a 250 has liked it.

Quoted:  IMO, they are doing this because they know it is a flawed design that can’t be fixed with upgraded or redesigned parts in a recall campaign. Their execs are talking about this every day right now, half of them shitting their pants and the other half having sphincter spasms because their lawyers are telling them that the coming lawsuits will end them and they know that a recall and refund campaign is the only effective way to stop the lawsuits.


There isn’t really much in life that can’t be fixed with redesigned components. The firearm is not some magic gadget full of arcane secrets only to be deciphered by those of the cloth. However it is pretty likely at the current quantity sold, it a retrofit cannot be accomplished through current part modification and instead requires a new part(s) (of which the slide is a big possibility) then a full recall (on top of legal liability) is likely a bankrupting endeavor


I wouldn't trust anything less than a full on conversion to a plunger style striker block like those seen in... every other pistol on the market.

I don't see that as a retrofit type of job. The part would have to be designed and mass produced, slides would have to be machined for the part, it would probably be difficult to get the existing striker assembly to interface with it, and you'd likely need changes to the FCU to actuate it.

Basically, you're redesigning the whole gun and starting with a clean sheet... which is exactly what Sig did with the P365.


It would seem the easy button would be to do voluntary conversions to a P250 - which allowed any caliber from .22 LR to .45 ACP.  I think relatively little slide milling would be required.


If we overlook the facts that the P250 had a poor reputation and that DAO semiautomatic pistols are some of the most unpopular firearms on the planet… sure. lol

They’re using Glock 47s and 49s now. CBP is why they exist in the first place

If the Army sticks with the M17, I still will want one.

That said I’m not buying one until there is a genuine fix where Sig comes clean about this, AND Ron Cohen is fired.

If that guy can prove the problem and has a solution, I hope he protected his idea.  Dude could be a millionaire pretty quickly depending on how things shake out.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't these be fixed with:

Trigger safety
Redesigned striker block
New striker
Redesigned sear
Heavier springs

Of course, you'll lose that sweet sweet trigger pull that SIG was chasing in the first place.

I love the trigger in my 320.  BUT the echelon trigger is just as good.   Hopefully they dont start going off when not commanded.  Hopefully glop can make a trigger better than they do now that doesnt go off by itself.

That's a different gun.  

But truly, I think what the gun needs will probably require moving pin locations and making room in the slide for stuff.  It needs a manual safety option that blocks the sear to satisfy the military contract.  It needs a way to block the sear from moving unless the trigger is intentionally pulled by a human.  And it needs a striker block safety with a lot more engagement.  A cross bolt style like the glocks use would be good.  Something that can't be bashed aside by the striker.

Very curious to see how he identified the problem, given the inconsistency inherent across different pistols.
