There have been many errant discharges with the Sig P320 reported, with guns going off without being touched by the owners. Something is wrong with the design of the modular Sig P320 that was never used before in previous Sig designs. This is well known and has been proven.

The Sig P320 should not be in general use. I get it — the number of incidents of Sig P320’s just going off out of the blue are relatively small. The odds are still overwhelmingly good that nothing bad will happen. That said, the odds are orders of magnitude higher than previous Sigs. If Sig has not fixed the design flaws with the P320, they should be taken ouf of general use. There are plenty of other great Sig designs the military could have chosen to use over the modular P320.

"This is well known and has been proven."

No it isn't. You're talking through your hat.

The uncommanded discharge has NEVER NOT ONCE been reproduced under controlled conditions.

NO, IT HAS NOT!

A lie repeatedly told is not a fact.

Gunsite Academy in Yavapai County, AZ does not allow the P320 in its training classes.

Two others shooting ranges in Yavapai County do not allow the use of P320s on their properties.

One Prescott gun store withdrew sales of P320s and won’t accept trade-ins of them.

Name one other consumer product sold anywhere in the known universe (cigarettes don't count) that has killed or maimed as many people due to a manufacturing defect as claim to have been shot by the uncomanded discharge of a P320 and IS STILL BEING MANUFACTURED and STILL SELLS LIKE HOTCAKES.
