Frequently Asked Questions

What was the Sig Sauer P320 voluntary upgrade program for?

The Sig Sauer P320 voluntary upgrade program was initiated to address concerns about potential drop failures and trigger issues that were identified in earlier models of the P320 pistol. The upgrade aimed to enhance the firearm's safety features.

How did the trigger feel after the Sig P320 voluntary upgrade?

After the voluntary upgrade, the Sig P320's trigger reportedly feels different. The presenter noted it has more weight and a less crisp reset compared to the original trigger, which is understood to be a measure to prevent accidental discharge.

Did the US Army's M17 pistol have the same trigger issues as the commercial P320?

No, the M17 pistol, adopted by the US Army, does not have the same trigger as the commercially sold P320 models that were part of the voluntary upgrade. This suggests the military version had different safety specifications from the outset.

What was the customer service experience like for the Sig P320 voluntary upgrade?
