Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main reason for the alleged halt in Sig P320 shipments?

A whistleblower report claims Sig Sauer is halting shipments of 18,000 P320s to check safety levers for missing material. This action is reportedly a response to an FBI report that identified potential safety issues with the firearm.

What did the FBI report reveal about the Sig P320?

The FBI report, a joint investigation with Michigan State Police, identified issues with the Sig P320's safety lever lock. This was not based on hearsay but on extensive testing and analysis of the firearm's components.

How did the testing for the Sig P320 (MHS) compare to previous military handguns?

The Sig P320 for the MHS program underwent less extensive testing, reportedly around 5,000-12,000 rounds, compared to the Beretta M9 and Colt M45A1, which were tested for 20,000 rounds over multiple years.

Has Achilles Heel Tactical allowed the Sig P320 in their courses?

No, Achilles Heel Tactical has explicitly denied claims made by a Sig Sauer representative that they have reversed their decision. They state the P320 is still not allowed in their training courses or on their range.

What is the significance of the New Hampshire law mentioned in relation to Sig P320 lawsuits?

A New Hampshire law enacted in June 2025 limits lawsuits against gun manufacturers over design features like the absence of an external safety. Sig Sauer has used this law to argue for the dismissal of several pending P320 claims.
