Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main argument GBRS Group makes regarding Sig Sauer P320 uncommanded discharges?

GBRS Group suggests that reported accidental discharges of the Sig Sauer P320 are likely due to user error, particularly a finger being in the trigger guard during high-stress situations, rather than a mechanical fault of the firearm itself.

Why does Ben Stoeger criticize GBRS Group's demands for proof of P320 discharges?

Ben Stoeger finds GBRS Group's demand for high-resolution, slow-motion video proof unrealistic for real-world surveillance. He argues that the accumulation of witness statements and lower-quality footage over time should be considered valid evidence of a potential issue.

What is Ben Stoeger's personal stance on the Sig Sauer P320?

While Ben Stoeger has not banned the P320 from his classes, he personally would not recommend purchasing one due to the perceived risk of uncommanded discharges, which he considers a low-probability but real concern.

What evidence does Ben Stoeger cite regarding P320 safety concerns?

Stoeger references incidents like YouTuber Gungus Kahn's holster discharge and a Milwaukee Police Department video. He notes that some agencies, after initially adopting the P320, have since banned it due to accumulating safety concerns.
