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

The key is the part I have bolded in Sig's statement.

Recent events indicate that dropping the P320 beyond U.S. standards for safety may cause an unintentional discharge.

I don't know exactly what that refers to, either height, angle of drop (muzzle or butt first) or both.

Glock is really upset that they lost that US ARMY contract. This conspiracy theory they have started about the SIG 320 and it being unsafe "ALMOST" worked. Too bad people can see through Glock just like they are a piece of glass.
 
Honestly I own firearms from many different manufacturers over the years. It is up over 525 after getting my Dad's collection.

I have only had problems with a Taurus revolver , an American made Sig semi pistol, a marlin bolt action, and a Henry lever action rifle in 30+ years of buying and selling.

Only Henry and Marlin made things right in a satisfactory manner. Taurus customer service was horrible but they made it right after a painful experience.

Sig on the other hand not only treated me like an idiot, they LIED. The gun went back twice. They did nothing the first time so I decided to throw a small dab of nail polish on one of the parts they claimed to have replaced that I did not think they did. It came back with the same part. saying it was replaced a second time. When I called and confronted them about it I was treated like an idiot flat out called a liar by management and told to pound sand pretty much. I will NEVER do business with Sig again. I buy 2-5 firearms a year.

They lie. This exact incident further justifies my opinion. Friday they make a statement claiming that this drop fire failure is new to them and this is the first they have heard of it and that nobody in the US consumer market has had any issue.

Then yesterday we find out about the Stamford PD lawsuit and they knew at least 6 months ago when the department brought it to their attention, the convenient fact that the M17 already has the new trigger and they knew enough about these issues to already have a new trigger mechanism ready to go. Yet they state in yesterdays statement " they were not dropped in accordance with us safety standards" ... what does that even mean? There are videos of them going off falling on the hammer, falling on the mag well, and one guy got his to go off tapping it with a hammer while in his hand and not even dropping it.

So for at least 6 months these unsafe firearms have been sold to LE and joe consumer and at least one LEO had his career prematurely ended due to this safety issue.

I would happily buy old german models but I will never support the lying new regime that runs this company again. They lie, and they got caught with their pants down due to everyone performing unscientific drop tests.... well that what accidental drops are... unscientific. They just fall, and of course the Sig failed.

Sig can pound sand as far as I am concerned.

According to the civil law suit papers, this has been known since 2008 with documented cases involving Sig pistols. The new model P320 is the latest. All are stated in the 12 page civil suit document. It's an interesting read and should shed some light on this alleged issue involving the P320 set up.

Case: 3:17-cv-01318-JCH filed in USDC of Connecticut on August 4, 2017.

Strikes me that most of the shootings as described in the "Allegations" section of that document were either "cause undetermined" or NDs by the person with the gun.
 
When your done beating that dead horse could somebody light the grill. No sense in letting that meat go to waste.
 
I never warmed up to the P320 SIG's but I sure do like my Legion and any other P229/226. Stick with those and you will be just fine.
