It’s frustrating to see how “lawfare” is affecting responsible owners, especially when some ranges are starting to ban the P320 just to avoid insurance headaches. I’ve been considering moving some of my training and business overseas to avoid this constant legal noise in the States. Does anyone here have experience with the legal hurdles of bringing your gear to Europe, specifically Spain? I’m currently looking into the paperwork and found this guide on getting a tax ID https://e-residence.com/nl/nie-spain-online/barcelona/ which seems like the first step for residency, but I’m worried about how their local laws handle “controversial” models like the P320 compared to the US.

I have sent my Sig P320 back to the factory for the upgrade to make it safe but why won’t people accept that? I remember when people said everything short of sudden flip-overs of jeeps. This is rediculous. Let’s grow up now, please.

Right or wrong, my local range, of which I am a member, does not allow the Sig P320 to even be brought on to the property. Period. Thus my P320 is a brick with no value. Sad situation that things have gotten this out of control. I have used my P320 extensively and never had an issue still where I shoot, it is still a prohibited item.

HI,
I have a Sig Sauer P320 and love the handgun. However, to be honest, I lost my faith in the handgun of being a safe gun due to all of its deadly incidents. Why doesn’t the company just put in all the added safety features possible by recalling all of the Sig Sauer p320. This will save the Sig Sauer p320 reputation and money.

Thanks,
Dr. Ronald Victor

Back away, take a deep breath and observe the BIG PICTURE – where there is chaos there is opportunity – don’t waste a crisis (ref – Rahm Emanuel)
1. CHARACTER: SS has considered the high road with a buyback / swap program to retire the investment of many owners that cannot exercise their equipment at local ranges and competitions – while providing a winning strategy and path to full exoneration of character, this is not in the cards with the present management team (didn’t Cameron make some movie about a boat). Perhaps the next stewards of the company this will reconsider (but there is already a company named Phoenix).
2. S3W: No secret that the bigs have developed and tested very clever retrofit options to address the issues of the subject item. Just imagine Ford rescuing GM. Doesn’t matter if the issues are real or not, the court of public opinion has ruled. No different than an Adam Schiff statement – truth is not relevant here. This opens the door to a Sig Sauer / Smith + Wesson hybrid solution (or some other big – Beretta, Ruger, …) hence the reference to S-cubed-W. Such a bold move would shift the landscape in an irreversible fashion and could lay the foundation for a takeover of the crippled supplier.
3. Enter NORINCO as a majority partner as one possible outcome ……

In reply to Tec’s Dad.

Even if Sig does a “Recall” it will still be voluntary. Guns are not like a vehicle where a vin number is attached to the previous and/or current owner. Maybe if the original purchaser had registered a warranty card with Sig, a “Recall” letter could be sent out to that owner, but otherwise there is no way to know who now owns that gun. (and don’t think that the DOJ will produce some kind of a list because they won’t, and in some cases they can’t, because they don’t even know where that gun is. Lots of guns are sold/traded every day without any paperwork… which is legal in a lot of states.) …Thus, it would have to be voluntary through whoever now owns that gun.

One of my many guns is a P320. When this controversy started I put the gun away and didn’t use it in my firing range rotation any more until I saw how this developed. Had a few different conversations with Sig employees I know, about the P320. Had discussions with other P320 owners. Saw the ‘videos’ and the ‘claims’ about it. Mine wasn’t an earlier model that was subject to recall, but I wanted to make sure.

Now, I’m not one of these types of guys you see sometimes on youtube videos that get brand new guns and just abuse the heck out of them for the youtube clicks. I mean, guns can be expensive so ya gotta wonder how much money these guys are making from youtube clicks and advertisers to be able to afford either paying out of their own pocket for guns and gun stuff (i.e. optics) to try to destroy or how well connected they are with the manufacturers or companies they get these things from to get paid by them to do this. So anyway, I’m not one of those types of guys that just destroys guns and gun stuff on a whim like that, but, in this case I made an exception. Now granted, I have on occasion put some gun related stuff through their paces and abused them greatly in doing so but I’m in a fortunate situation where I get a lot of stuff for free so it didn’t cost me anything to do that to some things – but I did it because I wanted to know for myself.

So, I decided to check out the P-320 controversy with a couple of friends using my P-320. No matter what we did – no matter how it was dropped (even on the spots indicated by Sig for the early models prior up-grade fix) – no matter how hard we banged on it with a mallet at the back of the slide (there is a video of a guy doing this to get his P320 to fire on its own without a trigger pull, this is where we got this idea, his did fire after being beat on for a while but it was an early model that had not been fixed in the recall), we actually ruined the slide doing this as had beat on it so hard and aggressively trying to get it to fire but replaced the slide and continued with testing – we vibrated it and shook it, dropped it from 30 feet onto a concrete pad about 50 times – in the end it was beat up pretty badly to the point where the frame and slide needed to be replaced but no matter what we did, no matter the state it was in, clean or dirty, no matter the conditions we exposed it to, no matter what we did we could not get it to fire without a trigger pull.
