https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOMQOtOQoPk I don't know anything about the new Sigs. I use an old Sig P220 and a Sig P226. I don't know if the unwanted discharges are from a bad design, or bad manufacturing tolerances or a combination; and then finally is this just occasional discharges by a few handguns are is it a wide systemic issue. When an item is mass produced there are always variations in tolerances, form and fit, and there always needs to be good quality control inspections of items (components and fully assembled) to insure they all meet manufacturing quality specifications. It is very alarming to see this happening, and it seems to point to an insufficient amount of testing or insufficient test coverage by Sig. It definitely warrants a design review and a recall. It may also warrant an entire review of quality control processes. When something is engineered, there is normally a safety factor engineered into it. (For example the maximum load on a bridge might be 50 tons, however the bridge will have a safety factor of 30 percent where the bridge can actually withstand a load of 65 tons) |

Quoted: Sigfluencers are gonna be pissed. This might cut into their sigbux I honestly wonder who the Sig defenders are. I get that people can be stubborn and don’t like their purchasing choices to be criticized, but it seems ridiculous. Is it people that ONLY own 320s or something? |

Quoted: I honestly wonder who the Sig defenders are. I get that people can be stubborn and don't like their purchasing choices to be criticized, but it seems ridiculous. Is it people that ONLY own 320s or something? In my mind some absolutely decide that a brand or a product IS gonna be a hill they will die on. Sadly in this case that saying is probably too literal. |

Quoted: Probably cutting into P365 sales. Quoted: Quoted: i bought the compact then the subcompact kit. i wonder why the subcompact kit is no longer sold? that is the configuration mine is in and i had the voluntary work done on it... Probably cutting into P365 sales. but cutting it out completely sucks. |

Quoted: Is this the one where not touching the trigger is jamming a screw in it? Yes. I believe the P320 has a serious problem, but 'not touching the trigger' is not a good description of this video. He's partially pulling the trigger then wedging it to the rear. |

Quoted: Me too. I dunno, but we're blessed to have so much to do and buy these days that some folks start to take on the identity of their stuff - I guess that's what's called a brand lifestyle. In my mind some absolutely decide that a brand or a product IS gonna be a hill they will die on. Sadly in this case that saying is probably too literal. SIG has created a Cult following. Everything they make is better. Shout down anyone who says otherwise. |

Quoted: SO happy that we have another thread about this  All threads should be anti P320. Attached File |

Quoted: The Sig 320 may be flawed...I don't know for sure...but...I can jam a screw into the trigger of many brands/models of firearms and make it go off. That video proves absolutely nothing except that one should never jam a screw into the trigger of a firearm. This is exactly right. Can the misleading title of this thread and video be changed to something less deceiving? Might I propose "Video of a guy who put a screw into his P320's trigger can get it to off off by moving the other components of the gun, proving something, I guess" |

This guy? I'm not clicking blind YouTube links. Attached File |

Quoted: In before Sig is like “We are aware of a video circulating on social media demonstrating unsafe handling of our firearm followed by malfunctions. We are seeking legal remedies up to and including injunctions against the libelous parties!” Is the ink still wet on Sig's lawsuit against the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission, including a request to have their director barred from making public statements about the P320? |
