Not good for Sig 320/M18 owners

Yes, that's the norm at most gun clubs and ranges right now. My son manages a local gun store and has quite a few customers come in to buy new competition pistols because our local gun club has banned any P320s from the property. That includes my P320 X5 Legion that I used for Action Steel and USPSA Limited! Hoping that SIG gets this worked out and the ban is lifted.
Look on the bright side - this gives all those 320 owners an excuse to go out and buy a new handgun. This isn't a problem as I see it! 
I have two Sig P320 Models. One is an RXP full size and the other is a compact. Both pistols function and fire properly with no malfunctions or unintended discharges. Yes, I am aware that it can, may or might happen or not at all.
The RXP has over 1,800 rounds fired without incident. The compact was purchased from a friend of mine and the round count is unknown. Both wear red dot sights, lights and are exceptionally accurate. The RXP lives in the safe until needed. The compact stays loaded and in a nearby drawer for the downstairs HD. It also serves as a travel firearm when I am not driving the F-150. A Glock Mod. 30 is a constant passenger in the Ford.
Both pistols are throughly cleaned after each firing session regardless of the number of rounds fired. When carried, "WE THE PEOPLE" holsters perform that task. The holsters cover the trigger guard and the trigger. These holsters are manufactured/molded to produce a snug fit and produce a "click" with the pistols are inserted.
One cannot deny, based on the multiple incidences of AD's or unintentional discharges, that something is amiss. One also needs to consider the countless variables associated with each incident. So far, there doesn't seem to be a specific cause that is common to all of the incidents. The closest one that has been identified is the striker mechanism.
Given the engineering capabilities of Sig and technology available to Sig and the entire firearms industry, this problem will be solved. Until that time, I will continue to own, shoot and carry my P320 pistols. I am fortunate enough, like many of the members here, to have other options with the majority of those choices being pre-lock S&W revolvers accompanied by a few Pony guns.
