 Original Sig P210 Olden times Swiss pistols were better. |

Quoted: You guys think they have figured out and fixed the shake awake issue by now and just never said anything? No idea—the Swiss SIG employees say there was never anything wrong with the P320 to begin with.  The Swiss Army 320s will allegedly be assembled in Switzerland at the Neuhausen factory that assembles Stgw90s. |

Quoted: What's the deal with them? A guy told me recently that they sucked, but didn't say why. I know one guy that has one, and he's never had a problem. It's basically a single-action (like a 1911) without any (functioning) mechanical or manual safeties. But they have a great trigger pull (that sometimes pulls itself). Some have gone off unexpectedly. Due to "bad" holsters, mysterious "debris", negligent operator, or an evil poltergeist in the mechanism that just fires by itself. |

I assume they designed it as a fighting gun then? I'm not a fan of carrying single action. I like DA or DA/SA and carrying in decocked mode for the first trigger pull. |

Do you have a link to that? |

Most P320s don't have a manual safety. Also, depending on what the actual problem is (which is still not known), the safety may not help. For example, one of the speculated causes is excessive play between slide and FCG chassis allowing the striker to be released. That wouldn't be solved by the manual safety. |

Quoted: What's the deal with them? A guy told me recently that they sucked, but didn't say why. I know one guy that has one, and he's never had a problem. I assembled 2 of mine by not using the slide stop to hold the slide to the rear before turning the take down lever. I was able to get 1 of the 2 to shake awake pretty easily. The other one took a bit of strangling to get it to dry fire. Reassembled them both by doing it by the manual and no matter what, I can't get them to shake awake. Just my sample of 2. Take it for what it's worth. |

Most 320s for civilian and police sales dont have a manual safety. All of the military models do. |

The Swiss Army 320 doesn’t appear to have a thumb safety at the moment, which is not a big surprise since their current service pistol is the Glock 17 (Pistole 2012/2015). On that note, it’s a little weird that they’re replacing the Glocks so soon, seeing as how they plan to keep the Stgw90 until 2050 and that was adopted in 1986. |

Quoted: Most 320s for civilian and police sales dont have a manual safety. All of the military models do. The one in the OP’s picture doesn’t look like it has a manual safety. But as others have pointed out. They will probably never see combat and probably be carried without a round in the chamber so it shouldn’t be a problem. |

Quoted: baggy pants. holster problem? throw it as a ger nade https://live.staticflickr.com/5299/5393973338_3d29a77b19_o.jpg The only way that could get any gayer is if dude had a dildo attached to his forehead. |

Quoted: The manual safety is failing now? Do you have a link to that? The manual safety prevents the trigger from moving and tripping the sear. But it doesn’t stop the sear from actually firing the gun. So if a pistol fires a round in a holster without a trigger pull, having a mechanical safety wouldn’t stop it |

Beretta offered the m9a4 to the military for less than they were getting the current m9 for. But the fix was in for sig |

Not when you consider that SIG is an acronym for Schweitzerisch Industry Gesselshaft The actual SIG sold off their firearms division 25 years ago to the Germans and forbade the Swiss skeleton crew from using the name, which is why until recently they were known as “Swiss Arms”. Sig Sauer would have closed all Swiss operations had the Swiss government not required them to still contract out replacement parts for the 550s in Switzerland. As it was they were cut down to 18 employees. The real SIG still operates as a packaging manufacturer. |

Talk about a downgrade by going with the P320. |
