Sheepdoggit has laid out much of the same information I have been provided by people familiar with the P320 in both the military and LE settings. It is a deeply flawed pistol; the testing process was also flawed and is being probed, and both SIG and at least some of the Army personnel have forfeited their credibility. I also agree that the Army would have been better served with Gen 5 G19s and M&P 2.0s purchased COTS.

It is not unforeseeable that there will be a criminal investigation and prosecutions. It is amply foreseeable that even without that outcome, there will be officers forced to retire at grades below their current rank because they will be demoted to the last rank at which they successfully served.

There is at least one long discussion of this set of problems with SIG and the Army in the Secondary Weapons forum of Lightfighter. I personally know some of the people posting and involved and what their credentials are.
