Frequently Asked Questions

What are the alleged safety issues with the SIG P320?

Allegations suggest potential out-of-battery detonations due to issues like mixed takedown levers (10mm/.45 ACP with 9mm assemblies), leading to accidental striker release. Tolerance stacking and quality control issues with parts can exacerbate these problems.

Why did the 'Sig Armorer' change his opinion on the SIG P320's safety?

The 'Sig Armorer' initially developed a fix for P320 safety issues but later released a video stating current models are safe. This shift occurred after he visited SIG's New Hampshire facility, leading to speculation about the reasons behind his revised assessment.

What role do takedown levers play in SIG P320 safety concerns?

Incorrect takedown levers, specifically mixing 10mm/.45 ACP levers with 9mm P320 assemblies, are cited as a potential cause for accidental striker release. The different geometry can allow the striker to fall when the firearm is bumped or vibrated.

What other factors are blamed for SIG P320 incidents?

Beyond potential manufacturing defects, the 'Sig Armorer' and others suggest that improper holsters and inadequate training are significant contributors to P320 incidents. Some also mention police officers potentially misrepresenting the circumstances of accidental discharges.
