Careful not to drop it.

I had a friend who got a really good deal on one of those pistols. I slapped him on the back to congratulate him and they both went off....

Wow! That's funny!!! Good job!

I still want one. Sig is taking care of the issue at hand.

I also still want one - and won't have the dinero until the whole Drop-gate thing is sorted out anyway. Once you get an FCU (as you all know) - you can mix and match uppers and the grip frames are like $40. I have a P250 and really like the modularity. That said, now is the time to buy one on the local trading site - people are trying to dump them left and right.

Yup I was gonna buy the compact and then buy the sub compact grip for carrying. Yes the slide over hangs the end but it looks cool.

But that's not until I get my 627 pro.

Which raises the question... what other striker-fired pistols do you own if this is the very best one? And I hope it's still your very best one after it comes back from the "voluntary upgrade" Sig has now been forced into.

All jokes and kidding aside, I've just never been impressed by it right from Day 1... but folks I respect still say it is the best thing since sliced bread and beer in bottles, so what do I know?

I'm just glad I don't own one as I hate recalls even when they call it something else. .

It's all Glock, the devil's, fault.

I shot one 2 weeks ago the guy next to me had one. I liked it I thought it had a nice trigger & was soft shooting. I let him shoot my dan Wesson valor 45 & he shot it better than his sig funny huh? We both laughed at that. I would consider one of those if I could only get over the plastic frame gun aversion thing I have.

To lighten the mood and have a little fun!

Don't forget that Caracal had a lot of recalls on different models but we also know nearly every gunmaker has had some type of recall or voluntary whatever. Some more dangerous than others.

And that's percisely why I think it prudent to wait at least a couple of years before buying any new firearm model. The Sig P320 shows a lot of promise, but it remains an unproven weapon from my perspective.

The best way to render a device fool-proof is to put it in the hands of fools, wait and watch. Their ability to ferret out flaws is legendary.

A few years back, Springfield recalled XDs compact pistols for a potential ND problem. If you racked the slide without depressing the grip safety, pulled and released the trigger, the gun might discharge when the grip safety was depressed. Mine was one of those recalled.

It takes a bit of dexterity to operate it in this way. The recoil spring is very stiff, and to rack without depressing the grip safety means you hold the frame with your finger tips, or with a thumb through the trigger guard. DUH! It took me half an hour to duplicate the problem with an empty pistol.

You can't rack the slide on a Springfield XDm2 without using the grip safety. Problem solved!

I think SIG has it figured out too, thanks to early purchasers.

I was in a LGS Thursday afternoon when a guy walked in with the desire to trade a Sig P320c .357 Sig toward a Glock 17 or 19. The salesman politely informed the customer the shop had to pull their remaining stock of P320 pistols and would not accept any in trade at this time. The customer was livid.

I offered him $200.00; pointing out that was slightly less than half his cost according to the receipt, but more than the store would of offered him as trade. He flipped out on me, even as the salesman agreed with me. I pulled four $50.00 bills out of my wallet and made the offer a final time.

That guy told me where I could stick my cash, so I placed it back in my wallet and pointed out he had one chance to be rid of the P320 and blew it.

Pulled off shelves? Really? Haven't seen that here yet

I wouldn't have taken your $200. I will have also told you to piss off because if he send his gun into Sig and they do the voluntary upgrade he can turn around and sell it for $350-$400 depending on condition, version and what else comes with it.

There are tons of people who are not fretting about this in the least. I certainly am not. I have a P320 in 45 and it will go and get fixed by Sig when my number comes up and I will get the pistol back and go from there. I might keep it I might sell it but I can guarantee if I sold it I am going to get more than $200 for it.

Sounds like the kind of guy who panic buys a Prius at $5k over MSRP just because gas went up 25c/gallon. Defines "fool" perfectly.

Did you catch the "he was livid" line?

This customer was a LEO in the process of switching jobs. He could not carry a Sig P320, nor a .357 Sig. He stated he needed a different gun. That shop was not a Glock Blue Line dealer so all Glocks are retail price. He did not have $550.00+ to lay out for a new handgun.

I paid $323.00 and $300.00 each for my used Sig P250sc pistols. The .40 S&W had night sights and a total of five mags. I would be buying a pistol deemed unsafe to carry and use, expecting to be without it for well over a week at some point. I am sure Sig will make the necessary changes to every P320 out there. When? How quickly will your gun be returned to you?

I was taking a risk and offering to do him a favor...he didn't see it that way.

The P250 sold for $325-$375 NIB before being discontinued so you got a decent deal on your used ones when you factor in the mags.

Sig has stated that it will be 4-6 weeks to fix the pistols. For me it is a non-issue because it not a primary gun in any way for me. It will get fixed eventually until then I won't be shooting it. I will have to stick with the P220 or the 1911s if I want to shoot 45 ACP.

I understand that you believe you were "helping" the guy out but if you were really helping him out you should have directed him the the local "blue" Glock dealer told him to finance it another way. if a NIB Glock is $550 in your area pointing him towards any number of online dealers would have been a better option IMHO. You can still get Gen 3 Glock 17s and 19s OTD for $450-$75 depending on what you pay for transfers. Some online dealers even offer credit. Even a credit card with 18% interest would be a better deal for the seller than the $200 cash you were offering him.

IMHO but I can see where you thought buying his $500 pistol for $200 was helping him out. I would have bought it for $200 if it was 9mm, have no use for .357 Sig, but would be realistic that I was really helping myself more than the guy selling the P320.
