Sig P320

[kelljor]

So with all this hype about Sig P320, there are three at my LGRange that almost immediately showed up for sale; all priced at 350. Sellers would probably take 300. All three have a minimum of 4 mags; some more, an extra frame, and various other chit. So who would jump on this?

With the allegations of safety, those informed will always wonder...will this one??? This pistol will remain a pariah i fear.

I would not buy another, even at that price. Have put mine up for the time being. Will wait and see how this plays out.

But, for those who are adamant that the ongoing "uncommanded discharge" issue is a figment of the imagination, a great time to buy, for sure.

Wouldn't you know it? My Wife bought me a Sig P320 Compact AND a P320 full size for my Birthday. Now what? I could sell them at a loss, but I have NEVER sold on her presents and not going to start now. I'm shooting them. If i get killed I'll let you know.

IMHO if you have one and want to carry it, do so....but only at Condition 3. Never carry with a round in the chamber.
This pistol has a stigma that will at this point never be shed or overcome.

Haven't had an issue with my P320's however they are range toys except the M17 with safety.

Yeah I was thinking along the same lines. Just wanted to confirm that I am not missing anything. Thanks gang.

Hard pass IMO. Maybe $250 if it's like new in box and has been verified to have the modification to make it safe.

Not just the Sig P320, but all striker fired automatics! The only striker fired gun I own is a Browning .380 Pocket, but I don't carry it. I am old and a reactionary. There are simply too many posts on the internet about various issues with striker fired models, in including S&W. The only S&W automatics I own are a Shorty Forty and Model 39-2. I do own many automatic pistols, well more than 20, and everyone of them except the Browning are hammer fired!

There is not a single argument any of you can make that would change my mind, so don't even try.

The M17/18 safety is irrelevant to the "uncommanded discharge" issue.

You're conflating two separate problems. The modification you refer to (the "voluntary recall") is to make the P320 no longer prone to discharge if dropped.
Sig Sauer hasn't yet admitted that the pistol might ever go off spontaneously and so the company hasn't proposed any fix.

There's a very detailed discussion on this topic here:

Thread 'Banned Firearm'

Aug 21, 2025

It came to the club's attention the other day that a few of the pistol shooters at the indoor range that are usually involved with timed shooting events are using the Sig P320. I was not up to date on its issues and looked into it during the meeting. I figured if the IDPA banned it from any of their events that was good enough for me and I seconded a motion to remove it from range use until the issue was resolved. As unpopular as it may seem, our insurance liabilities are high as it is and we have lost our long time insurance agency because as they put it "insuring firing ranges is not...
