Sig P320 Paranoia Setting in.
- Thread starter Ankeny
- Start date
I have yet to see a single test performed where the trigger isn't manipulated in some fashion. Even the test where a pick is used to press the sear down from the back of the slide physically moves the trigger bar and trigger. This moves the striker safety catch, and lets the striker fall all the way.
What I am curious to know is, under which scenarios does the striker safety catch actually catch the striker, and under which scenarios the second shelf on the sear catches the striker. Every test so far defeats both of these safeties by way of moving the trigger.

Yes, and the “NEW VIDEO SHOWS 320 DISCHARGING WITHOUT A TRIGGER PRESS” had a screw in the mech, holding the trigger with all of the pre-travel taken up.” I’d equate that to pulling through the first stage of a 2 stage trigger. Somewhat more than “without a trigger press.”
I have yet to recall any Glock parts so convolutedly intricate.
Glock trigger parts are all stamped steel (and plastic, of course) - nothing MIM, correct?
There are Glock parts that are almost certainly MIM - the firing pin, the firing pin safety plunger, and the locking block immediately come to mind. But like every part in a Glock, they appear to be designed as part of a system that is very tolerant of widely varying component dimensions.
MIM is not bad technology - it's successfully used for many automotive powertrain components (stuff like connecting rods, transmission gears, ring and spider gears in diffs, etc.). Sig's problem isn't the MIM process, it's the excessively fussy design and the dogshit component supply chain. Like most polymer pistols, the cost-of-goods-sold is so ridiculously low that there is zero excuse for outsourcing critical firing control group components to India. Go talk to a domestic company that makes critical auto/medical/military MIM parts, pay 2-3x for parts that actually meet the print, reap the financial benefits of not discharging live rounds into your user base.
I suppose my statement could be misconstrued along those lines - I was thinking more along how SIG could only use MIM to fashion these really intricately - shaped, tiny parts.
Comparing the Glock’s internals - its staplegun mechanism just looks so much more fault - tolerant.
Seems like a pretty stupid test.
Pull the trigger almost to the point of firing then (it looks like hold it there on the Sig) and then try your best to wobble around and make it go off??
Woot! A whole ~$2.50 off and still only ~$0.50 cheaper than the regular price at the gun mag warehouse.

You really don’t get it?
That sometimes companies have sales on gun parts?
Or that you're reading more than matters into a sale on a particular set of gun parts?
Okay. Imagine this were a thread about recovering from alcoholism and I popped in with, “Hey, it’s happy hour at Paddy’s.”
Quoting myself, sorry. See:
Sidearms & Scatterguns - Two more P320s discharge in Holster.
It could have also been desperation......if I remember right allegedly when Cohen took over in the early 2000's it was suggested that Sig USA was basically on the verge of going under with only like 100 employees (estimates put them at about 2000 now). Cohen evidently pushed the idea that Sig...

Edit: I guess the Gun University dude is an ex-Ranger sniper. Never heard of him, which means nothing, I guess.
