Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main criticisms of the Sig Sauer P320's stock trigger?

The stock trigger on the Sig Sauer P320 is criticized for its 'squishy' break rather than a clean, crisp one, feeling more like a double-action revolver. This can lead to flinching and accuracy issues if not approached correctly, and is considered by the reviewer to be worse than a stock Glock trigger.

What is the primary safety concern with the Sig Sauer P320 discussed in the review?

The primary safety concern is a potential drop safety issue where the pistol may fire if dropped in a specific manner, impacting the frame and slide simultaneously. This was observed with stock trigger kits and even with some aftermarket triggers, preventing a full recommendation.

How does the Sig P320's modularity work?

The Sig P320 is highly modular because its serialized component is the internal chassis. This allows users to easily swap out frames, slides, and barrels to change the pistol's size, color, or add features like manual safeties, effectively creating multiple firearms from one serialized unit.

What are the grip texture issues with the Sig P320?

The stock grip texture on the Sig P320 is considered inadequate, becoming very slick when wet or sweaty. The reviewer finds it less effective than the texturing on a Glock Gen 4 and suggests stippling for better purchase, especially for those who train extensively or in adverse conditions.
