So this came up in my feed. Don't know why, but what the heck is a p320? I gather it's some kind of gun but I hate that people post things assuming that everyone who sees it knows what they're talking about.
Sure, so Sig Sauer is a brand of firearm, and the P320 is a specific model. They are a “category” of pistols that come in various calibers. This one apparently has safety issues. They’re generally thought of as quality firearms, though like with anything some people love them, some don’t. Go check one out, probably not this model but go to a range with an instructor, you’d probably enjoy it. Most do.

The P365 is a decent compact sidearm. The construction of the P320 is a completely different platform. The “uncommanded” discharges appear to be possibly related to MIM [Metal Injected Mold] parts made by an Indian company.
When I was in a small town in Arizona a few years back, the local liquor store also sold ammunition…from a drive through window. That’s not disturbing 😳
Truly a case of stupid is as stupid does if they know there’s a problem and still won’t stop carrying them. How about that AFB where the Sig went off in the holster? They made the security police carry M4s until they could get replacement handguns.
I don’t own a gun but I worked in and around a machine shop for precision instruments many workers were gun nuts, (Shotgun Digest in the mens room) Can it be smith’ed? I can’t believe there’s no video on youtube.
Keeping a weapon unchambered, that has a very small history of being unsafe, is being an idiot? Granted, it is not very good as an every day carry that way, but it is still a good weapon for those who know what they are doing. If someone is not carrying a weapon, they rarely should keep it chambered anyway.
Had he not added the “duhhhhh” like he’s Saying folks are stupid, I wouldn’t have bothered. Fact is if you’re carrying and need your weapon asap, you don’t want to be bothered jacking the slide or dry firing on an empty chamber first. That’s what the safety is for…
I agree the 320 has enough of a history to make one doubt its everyday safety. But they are not as bad as many people think. The recent admission that the Air Force officer was shot because he was messing around and not that the weapon failed, is a good indication that some of the reported failures were human failures. And the truth is, most people drive cars everyday that have higher proven failure rates leading to injury and death. Sig has provided a fix for their earlier versions and improved the latest versions. Cowboys carried guns that were much more likely to malfunction than the 320. If I go out in bear country, I will still carry my Sig 320 XTEN.

The title includes Sig, one of the largest gun manufacturers in the business.

FORMAT: [Manufacturer] [Model]
E.g., Ford F-250, Apple iPhone 16, SIG P320,…
Some of us do… took me less time to answer her, than you took not to (~3.7 seconds ~;-)
Fact check: mostly true ☑️
you lost me at “i went to my local gun shop”
I’m very happy with my little P365
I still have all my toes…

This is far better.
buUut… does everyone standing nearby?
(Just kidding… not the same weapon ~;-)
One thing disturbing to me, as an Australian: “…my local gun shop…”
When I was in a small town in Arizona a few years back, the local liquor store also sold ammunition…from a drive through window. That’s not disturbing 😳
Here’s the opposite, and less lethal: When I lived in Denver a few years back, there was a Taco Bell next door to a cannabis dispensary!
I love that! I wonder which opened first?
Head to Iowa, where blind people can own firearms. Wonder how many other states permit this.

You win today’s craziest fact. Maybe we should accuse them of being woke, of pandering to DEI? 😁
Yeah, he made ‘my local gun shop’ sound like he was going to Sainsbury’s for a pint of milk, and half a dozen eggs!
"Hon, I'm steppin' out for some beer and hollow points. Back soon."
That blew my mind too. It really is a backward nation

I'd sooner trust a baseball bat.
Is the military still using
But curiously if this is alledgedly true?

So I take it this is a major problem that the manufacturer is blissfully unaware of?
That's ok I love my Glock.🥰

Keep it unchambered.
DUUUUUHHHHHHHHHH
Idiot.

Designed by indians for pennies on the dollar. Outsourced..
Good post.
p320 is a crime and it should be punished relentlessly.
Americans NEED guns.
How could they protect themselves from the terrifying danger that they pose to each other, without guns?
