From the Sig Forum....P320 fails drop testing..orders being cancelled

[C J]

Far as I am concerned the military made a mistake changing to the Sig.

They have had the perfect combat handgun since 1911, if it isn't broken don't fix it.

Even the designer of that pistol thought there was room for improvement. That's why he developed the Hi Power.

I have a Sig I wouldn't trade for a 1911 that cost double what I paid for the Sig.

Not sure which is the bigger anachronism, the 1911 platform or the post.

Turns out it was a simple mistake. Official Statement :SIG Sauer Reaffirms Safety of the P-320 pistol./ DPD Is In The Process Of Giving The Ok To Again Allow Officers To Carry The P-320. - The Firearm BlogThe Firearm Blog

Just goes to show what happens when someone decides to run to the net and spread rumors before the facts are known. Whoever it was that leaked this should be strung up and flogged.

The Firearms Blog and Gun Mag warehouse blog both have a journalistic tone that I've seen somewhere before.

BS gets half way around the world before truth can get its shoes on.

Remember Y2K?

The .22 ammo shortage?

Shame on the fools who spread alarmist gossip.

So no one at the DPD read the manual before approving it.

I think someone just over reacted to it

Yeah, a Glock armorer who doesn't want to retrain.

Looks like perfect legalese for CYA purposes.

If you wanna talk about "perfect legalese for CYA purposes", read the first 15 or 16 pages of the owner's manual for the S&W .45 Shield! S&W virtually absolves themselves of any responsibility for just about everything that could go wrong.

I tend to go with those that say the alleged Dallas incident (if one ever took place) was reported in a way for somebody to cover up their ND.

Agreed. Or else it was just some weird random incident that's gotten blown way out of proportion.

You can have your own opinion about Sig's but you can't have your own facts..............................................................

Mehhh, my guns don't magically drop from their holsters.

I can't believe they are drop testing these guns indoors with no barrier between them and gun. Aren't they shooting holes in the ceiling or walls? What if that gun does not get dropped straight and shoots back at the tester or film crew? Maybe I misssed something and they have pulled the bullets?

IN the beginning of the video they say bullets are pulled. They are using cases / primer only.

Unless the results are from a respected lab I am ignoring their test.

 

[6518John]

Thank you--in a meeting and I listened with the sound off. I will play with sound tonight.

I am sensing a case of denial here......

YES, I deny results that come from youtube experts. They may be legitimate, and they may not be. Any gun can be tampered with to make it fail a drop test. The P320 has a 5.5 to 7.5# from the factory, that would have to be one heavy trigger. I doubt the US Army in years of testing did not try every manner to get it to fail a drop test.

Some people just keep denying that Glock lost the bid, and still have not got over it.
