Sig P320 discharging without a trigger pull

Sig Sauer’s response is awful disappointing. WTF sure seems like they have an issue.

 

[28Eliminator]

That’s crazy… . Obviously it would have to have one in the chamber to go off like that?

Is that normal for cops to leave them chambered in their holster??

Is this a serious question?

Of course not... Barney just takes the bullets out of his pocket when needed.

Umm yes, otherwise it’s an empty gun.

One of my friends is horrified I carry a P365XL that is not fitted with a safety.

My position...if I unholster it, I'm going to pull the trigger. I don't need to be screwing around pushing a button.

Good neutral explanation here.

If I leave every weapon I carry with one in the hole, i sure hope the hell a peace officer is as well.

Israeli Carry is not your friend!

Why would they carry with bullets in the gun? Sounds dangerous.

I put a manual safety on my P365XL . Have no problem drawing it and flicking the safety in the same motion .

 

[YeahYeah01]

Scary as hell. If I'm carrying, I carry chambered, sitting in my truck that thing is dam near pointed at my junk.

 

[77charger]

Has happened often from reading on gun forums

 

[dave29]

I have a Sig 365 SAS model. The first thing I did was install a manual safety.

I'm left handed. It doesn't work as well for me.

 

[attitude]

This has going on for a while, the DOD tested them and came to the conclusion that when dropped, the P320 has a tendency to accidentally discharge.

My Fiancée is a Sig fan and has a P238, the iron sites came misaligned from the factory, apparently that is a common issue.

My buddies know this and send a link every time a P320 accidentally discharges to talk shit, I’ve received multiple links over the last couple years lol.

 

[Kachina26]

So how do the folks that say there's no such thing as an accidental discharge, only negligent discharges feel about this?

 

[BabyRay]

I have the same, and added a safety as well. I also changed out the take-down lever, because the stock one on the SAS was difficult to use.

 

[MPHSystems]

The bullets make the gun too heavy.

Always "one in the pipe" , Love these shows and movies where they pull the weapon and work the slide .............

Yes
Cops and trained professionals always carry chambered.
It’s necessary for them to be ready to shoot at all times.
A manual safety or not is a personal choice.
Cops also open carry, with good holsters that prevent trigger pull.

When Joe Citizen chambers one and sticks it in his belt he’s just asking to shoot his own dick off…and sometimes does.

 

[Boat211]

I had this happen to me with an Sig as well. Fortunately I was at a range and it was unloaded. I had rented one to try it. After I shot it and verified it was empty, I set it down. My hand was away from it when it clicked. Had there been a round in it, it would have discharged. That was my last interaction with a Sig.

 

[dribble]

I carry my P238 with one in the chamber and the safety off. Since it’s a 1911 style weapon, I still have to pull the hammer back to get the first shot off.

 

[92562]

So how do the folks that say there's no such thing as an accidental discharge, only negligent discharges feel about this?

Well, if it is a defect of the weapon, it could be considered a negligent discharge because of the manufacturer. I think if a gun malfunctioned due to a part failure, that would be truly accidental. Bad deal all around.

Same with my 2022 .40.
Chambered but decocked with an initial DA trigger pull.

 

[Sharky]

Of course not... Barney just takes the bullets out of his pocket when needed.

And only when Andy tells him its OK first.

I also changed out the mag release for an extended one.

How would you like to be shot to death while racking your slide for dramatic effect?

 

[Deckin Around]

If not, that's like waiting to put on their seatbelt until they are getting in an accident.

 

[Bajastu]

Same with my P238, it’s my daily and I always have one in the chamber except the hammer is cocked, safety on. My W. German made P220 is still one of my favorites in .45

 

[DRYHEAT]

So does anybody know has Sig redesigned the trigger group or something from the old guns of the past? That used to be their big claim to fame is the gun would not fire unless the trigger was pulled.

 

[JFMFG]

If you don’t keep one in the chamber and you carry wtf is the point.

 

[traquer]

IDK I carry a Glock and never had to worry about this.

The glock trigger safety is perfect. To me Glock is indeed "perfection" when it comes to a carry gun. All Glocks look and work the same and they only work when you want them to lol

 

[EarpRider]

I carried my P226 everyday for 29 years, this seems like a P320 issue more than all Sig's, correct?

In my opinion, the safety mechanism works, my P229 fell out of its holster while I was bending over to get money out of a floor safe, and it landed on the hammer. Saw my life flash before my eyes as I unsuccessfully, tried to catch it before it hit the ground.

 

[FlyByWire]

I can’t speak for other cops, but I have to call my Sgt and ask for permission to put bullets in my gun.

We had something like this happen where an Officers jacket tie thingy with the plastic adjuster thingy got caught in the trigger guard and pulled the trigger. ….oops.

Only while they’re off duty, dancing in a night club.

The P238 is meant to be carried cocked and locked like a 1911. Hammer fired SA gun vs striker fired. Completely different guns.

Fuck em. Sig builds quality stuff. They will straighten out the P320. My first backup gun was a German built P230 that ran like a top. My newest carry is a P365. I have never had an issue with any of my Sigs. Great guns.

Unless Joe citizen trains, which every gun owner should regularly

In memory of JBB....

 

[stokerwhore]

didn't Sig straighten out the p320 issue like 6 years ago?

 

[CammdSS]

and here I am carrying one with it pointed at my junk.. still not concerned lol

 

[sirbob]

Was Alec Baldwin shooting an sig?
