Frequently Asked Questions

What specific mechanical condition can cause a SIG P320 to fire without a trigger press?

Grey Guns confirmed that an incorrect internal part configuration, specifically involving the takedown safety lever and striker lock, along with a condition called 'sear perching' (insufficient striker engagement), can lead to the SIG P320 firing without a trigger press.

How did SIG Sauer gain immunity from P320 liability lawsuits in New Hampshire?

SIG Sauer successfully lobbied New Hampshire lawmakers to pass a bill that shields the company from future liability lawsuits alleging inherent safety defects in its P320 pistol, a move that bypassed public comment.

What are the key factors contributing to the SIG P320's potential unintentional discharge?

The unintentional discharge risk is linked to an incorrect takedown safety lever, a missing or damaged striker lock/lock spring, and the 'sear perching' condition where the striker isn't held securely. Swapping caliber-specific levers can also be a factor.

Why is the New Hampshire law protecting SIG Sauer controversial?

The law is controversial because it was passed rapidly without public input, and critics, including plaintiffs' attorneys, argue it prevents victims of alleged P320 defects from seeking justice in court and allows SIG Sauer to avoid addressing design flaws.
