Too much smoke.

Buy and carry SA/DA with decock lever.

It will never let you down.

Depending on my attire, I’ll be carrying a Sig P238 or P938.

They could just mandate that the chamber be empty while carrying.
Might not be ideal, but it is a work-around.

““If one part begins to slip off another part, it’s a matter of time before it moves all the way down and you’re going to have a striker hit the primer”

Now that’s some technical sh*t right there.

Sounds like they are either prone to wear on certain parts prematurely or people aren’t maintaining them enough.

Buyer beware on personal ownership.

The thing about this case is that at first, it seemed it would be the end of the P320 family, with the story being that the pistol discharged from inside the holster, striking the user.

Now we’ve got another airman charged with involuntary manslaughter, but no details.

That said, my P320 is staying in the safe until this all gets sorted out.

I’ve never shot a Sig, but they did determine there was a possibility of an uncommanded discharge IIRC.

What else are they going to do? They certainly are not going to turn in all the Sigs and issue some other handgun. As other posters have said, perhaps they don’t allow a round in the chamber until further notice.

You can optics for the 938 now, if interested.

Wife has a P238. Sweet shooter. She lets me borrow it sometimes.

Hammer, not striker.

My son has a P320. It used to be his EDC. Nope. He won’t touch it now. Overreaction? Maybe, but I think it’s wise.

Go try and sell a P320. There is, basically, no market for ‘em anymore.

I own a P320. Don’t have a lot of rounds down range through it, but I’ve never had any sort of accidental discharge, but it does make a guy wonder a little bit.

I’ve had a West German P226 for like forever. It’s like a Porsche that you can shoot. Picked up a New Hampshire one for a spare 20 years ago. Great piece as well.

A lot of people walk around with a clear chamber. Not like it's a big deal.
What's your issue?
