I love my classic SIG P220 and P225, but there is obviously something wrong with the SIG P320.

My question to our fellow SIG-owning FReepers: Would you feel confident carrying a P320?

Got 2 sigs which I love. I wouldn't buy this thing on a bet.

She appears to be taking her backpack off her shoulder, and the discharge happens just as the backpack brushes past the holstered firearm, causing her to drop the backpack. I would think the trigger would be fully concealed in the holster.

From the article:

"Yes, she was fondling the holster prior to the firearm going off, but a holster should prevent the gun from going off just because someone touches or moves it. I mean, that's why you wear a holster, for crying out loud.

So this wasn't an autonomous firing after all. Interesting that the author said "fondling." They might want to reconsider approval of that holster.

I got the M18 military version of civilian p320 with the external manual safety.

No concerns, the manual safety mechanically blocks the trigger and striker.

“Officer Chrim sustained a non-life-threatening injury to her leg...”

I’ve heard of Glock leg and now we have Sig leg too.

[DesertRhino]

Bottom line, there are so many other better choices. The 320 is not a quality pistol, and not worth it. It brings nothing so spectacular to the table as to make it worth the risk.

[dinodino]

Nope, I would not.

[Disambiguator]

I don’t recall hearing about this type of incident back when cops carried revolvers, Barney Fife types notwithstanding.

One of my neighbors in New Mexico had a Colt single action .45 revolver that his dad carried as a Sandoval County Sheriff’s deputy.

One female rent-a-cop does something stupid and all hell breaks loose.

[sit-rep]

a holstered weapon...

A round in the chamber...

...and the gun was cocked...

I dont know a lot about handguns but I managed to have these facts instantly pop into my head.

What am I missing here that says its not personal error??

[CodeToad]

I carry the M17 all day long. No problems. I also use the manual safety. Just for giggles, I dropped tested the thing at least 500 times, dropping it from all kinds of heights in all kinds of ways. Never did the striker fire. I am confident in the pistol.

I also know many people have had their various pistols go off and often the holster interferes with the trigger.

[Joe 6-pack]

Never liked the ergonomics (or economics) of Sig. Ben Stoeger has been all over the P320 story for a while and has some hilarious videos. The self-righteousness of Sig corporate regarding people's concerns over this issue should turn just about anybody off but the most devout fanboyz.

I've never had any such issues with CZ.

Or Walther

Or Colt

Or S&W...

[aomagrat]

I inherited a Sig 320. I gave it away.

[PGalt]

No, I would not feel confident carrying a P320.

[DesertRhino]

Bottom line, Sig is wildly overrated. You don’t see special forces using this pistol.

[Hot Tabasco]

Officer Chrim was not interacting with any students when the firearm discharged.

That's her story and I'm sure she's sticking to it.

As for me, I'm calling BS......

[Hot Tabasco]

Officer Chrim was not interacting with any students when the firearm discharged.

In other words, there were no witnesses. Only her own personal testimony........Yep, these holster misfires happen all the time....../not
