Frequently Asked Questions

What is a common problem when reassembling the Sig Sauer P320?

A frequent issue during Sig P320 reassembly is the trigger not functioning and the magazine failing to seat properly. This often occurs if the slide isn't fully locked back to reset the internal components correctly.

How do you fix a Sig P320 that won't reassemble correctly?

The key trick for correct Sig P320 reassembly is to ensure the slide is locked completely to the rear before rotating the takedown lever. This action resets internal parts, clears the magazine well, and allows the trigger to function.

Why does the Sig P320 trigger not work after reassembly?

The trigger may not work on a reassembled Sig P320 if the slide wasn't locked fully back. This prevents an internal lever from resetting, which obstructs the magazine well and disengages the trigger mechanism.
