I made the mistake and purchased the P320. No accidental discharge but multiple malfunctions during live fire exercises. Also, unbelievably difficult to field strip (separating upper from lower). It took two of us to turn the pin 90 degrees to remove the slide. Sig P229 is the best pistol I ever shot, why mess with perfection only to try and steal Glock owners with a subpar striker fired pistol. P229 is still my go to and life saver, stick to what works Sig you were on top with this one but got greedy and produced a sub par striker that is nothing more than a paperweight for me now.

Didnt Glock go through this same thing years ago when they introduced a new model? what became of that model?

Good or bad or not, my local range prohibits even bringing a P320 on to its property! This forces me to purchase a new gun whether or not I want to. I have never had any problem with my P320 but that does not matter. Buy a new non-Sig gun or stay off the range. Not my idea!

I have owned and still currently own several P320 pistols, from the M17and 18 to the P320 .45 and I can honestly say I have no issues whatsoever with any of them ! I have personally tried to get the weapon to discharge without pulling the trigger , have dropped it on hard surfaces, and have carried them in multitude’s of different holsters and have NEVER had an “accidental “ discharge! Plain and simple truth is “DONT PULL THE TRIGGER IF YOU DO NOT WANT THE WEAPON TO FIRE!!!!”

I’ve had mine for several years in .45 auto. I love mine. I read this today. I had not heard any of the safety issues prior to today. I carry mine mounted in a magnetic mount in my truck when I travel. I have shot several hundred rounds and had not one mishap. As with ALL semi-autmatic pistols one must exercise precautions when using them. The military has tested this weapon extensively. I’ll take them at their word until oroven otherwise.

In reply to Chester Pack. Also, the AIR FORCE arrested another Airman involved in the death of the Airman and charged him with VOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER!! Sounds to me like horseplaying was going on with the gun and THAT resulted in the firing of the weapon. The AIR FORCE should release ALL details they have from the investigation BUT AS ALWAYS THE DAMN GOVERNMENT has to keep truth from the people

IMHO, the p320 is not haunted. If you learn to properly assemble the pistol (hint: use the slide stop), rack the firearm after hitting the trigger wall and watch for undue wear it is a fine pistol.

In reply to .40 cal Booger. Yes, SIG may be taking a hit, but it's going to be a lot of business and profit for other gun companies that supply the future orders for its replacement in both civilian and military spheres. Which makes me wonder, given the modern corporate structure of companies being owned by other entities and then the other entities being owned by some giant multinational investment company like Blackrock, wouldn't it be clever to manufacture this problem and then profit from it? Does Blackrock or some such own shares in more than one gun company? You never heard of a prize fighter taking a "dive"? The ones who did always had a friend place money on their challenger, so as to get paid twice.

Dan, I don’t know if you wrote this headline, but it is, to put it mildly, insensitive. How can you say it doesn’t matter if a gun is safe or not? After all, human life could be at risk. As for the P320, too many are quick to throw it in the garbage. This is equivalent to being found guilty without a trial. Is it unreasonable to withhold the verdict until ample serious testing is done?
In the interest of transparency, I own a P320, original X Carry, have put over 1500 rounds through it and have never had a problem (except for a stovepipe caused by a limp wrist). It is reliable, comfortable and accurate.
