Did anyone else get the nice email from Sig explaining how the P320 "CANNOT, under any circumstances, discharge without the trigger first being moved to the rear."?

Sig P320 Dumpster Fire
- Thread starter Telum
- Start date
There are at least "87" posts on ARFCom distroying the 320 and Sig in general. (IYKYK)
Dumpster fire.
I own one.
It will not show up here in BST until that mess is sorted out. If it ever is.
However, I have not gotten an email from Sig...and I'm the original owner.

Here is a Sig link that has all the info that was in the email. https://www.sigsauer.com/blog/p320-information
Its neat how they went from the stonewall denial and mother eFFing anyone even suggesting there was an issue with the platform (even though at that time there were hundreds of accounts of the failure reported), to "my bad". It just apparently takes a service member casualty and thousands of units being taken out of service for it to be real for them.
I was at a gun shop in Topeka today. Asked the counter guy "So what's my P320 worth as a trade in?".
His response:
"Nothing".
Tons of them on Gunbroker now with .01¢ starting bids.

I'm not looking for a P320 or M17 or M18 but if the prices get stupid low, I'm in.
I’ll just be sure to follow the Barney Fife firearm regimen and not chamber a round until I am ready to fire it.

We're still buying them at the Wichita Bass Pro, but I've already told my guys to buy low. We've got a case of them that aren't moving in the Library.
Shame, because I love mine. They shoot well, love the ergos, and Sig's new enclosed red dot looks liked a winner, but if I ranges and instructors ban the damn things, no point in investing in them.

I used to defend the remington 700 for years because I hadn't seen any proof positive evidence.
I've seen enough cctv and now instructional videos of guys getting these things to go off that I think I'll avoid this series of pistols until otherwise told by higher powers.
Back to the R700, now...maybe the r700 did have problems. Just no proof.

The Wabaunsee County Sheriff's Department had a humorous Face Book Post about the Sigs.
@Red Baron Could you post a link? I am not on Facebook but sometimes a link will open for me.

Try wbcso.org. They just posted another P320 funny on Facebook.
Surprise, surprise, the AF story has a relatively predictable twist:

Regarding the Remington 700... I had one of them go off in my truck. We were deer hunting and had just finished hunting (without success) and were heading back to town. My hunting buddy had gotten in the passenger side and put his (loaded) M700 in beside him. He flipped off the safety with his thumb so that he could open the bolt and unload it. But it went off as soon as he moved the safety to 'fire.' There was nothing close to the trigger.
I had just gotten in when this happened. The muzzle was right beside his left foot. The cab was filled with smoke and melted rubber from the blast. I jumped out and looked back in to see if my buddy was OK. He had covered his eyes and was afraid to look because he thought he had blown his foot off. I couldn't see anything wrong with his foot, so he uncovered his eyes, checked his foot, saw for himself that it was OK, got out with the rifle and flung it as far as he could into a muddy plowed field.
Other than the truck, there were no casualties. When I did a walk around, I saw antifreeze running out of the radiator. The starter cable (the big one) was also cut in two. Apparently the bullet hit the starter cable and was deflected enough that at least part of it went through the radiator.
I was a long 2 1/2 mile walk back to town.
This was before the Remington safety issue had ever been made public.
