Duration: 14:05

This video clarifies previous statements regarding Sig P320 safety and uncommanded discharges. The instructor demonstrates that attempting to induce a discharge by squeezing the frame or jostling the firearm, even with the striker cocked, is not achievable on his P320. He emphasizes that any perceived failures in other videos likely stem from improper trigger manipulation or worn components, not inherent design flaws.

Quick Summary

The instructor tested his Sig P320 by squeezing the frame and pushing down, even with the striker cocked, but could not induce an uncommanded discharge. He suggests that perceived failures often result from improper trigger manipulation or worn firearm components, not inherent design flaws.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can squeezing the frame of a Sig P320 cause an uncommanded discharge?

The instructor tested this by squeezing the frame and pushing down on his Sig P320 with the striker cocked. He was unable to induce a discharge, suggesting that frame flex alone is unlikely to cause an uncommanded firing event.

What are common causes of perceived Sig P320 failures?

The instructor suggests that many observed Sig P320 failures might stem from improper trigger manipulation, such as the trigger being held back or accidentally engaged during other actions, or from worn internal components.

How does the instructor ensure safety during firearm testing?

The instructor emphasizes maintaining a safe direction for the firearm at all times, even when using inert ammunition. He also conducted extensive vice tests to confirm the striker safety was functioning correctly before attempting other stress tests.

Why did the instructor use live ammunition in his demonstration?

To prevent any misinterpretation or the appearance of faking results, the instructor chose to use live ammunition when demonstrating his own P320's behavior under stress, ensuring the test was as authentic as possible.
