Sig P320 Paranoia Setting in.

[BCP]

That’s cuz they were designed and manufactured in a country where not everyone gets a trophy.

I always thought it was good because it was designed by leftover WW2 nazi scientists.

You need something more age appropriate like a 1911 or a 38 snub nose.

I carry a S&W Model 38 appendix, Sig P365 manual safety OWB at 4 o'clock or a Colt Steel Frame Combat Commander, cocked and locked. Not that my old balls are needed anymore but they only see a J frame.

Ok, I have no dog in this fight, but I'm curious about something after I read your post.

You say yours has a manual safety. It makes me wonder, of all the 320's that have fired by themselves, how many of them had a manual safety? Any of them?

I'm a 1911 guy, hence my curiosity.

I agree how many M17 or M18's that all have thumb safeties have UND's?

The only non M17/M18 P320's shown now by SIG are the California versions in 4.7' barrels comes with LCI cuts on the slide /barrel , a Magazine Disconnect and a small grip. So I bought one, retrofitted a non LCI slide and barrel and removed the MD part, added a medium grip, now looking for 1/3 cowitness sights. So far so good, tight groups with Gold Dot 124+P, we will see.

The marines just asked for an investigation because they had one go off in the holster at a gate. That was M17/18 with a safety. I have read they have had models with the safety discharge. I think the issue is in the sear or striker safety. More than likely tolerance stacking issues or part failures. So far mine has been fine but it doesn't have a high round count yet and it's more of a range toy. I wouldn't carry it concealed because it has the tungsten frame with the additional weights and a big mag well.

I saw this one as well; standing g at Parade Rest , hands clasped behind the back and M18 goes bang.

Update - I did read in my 320 owners manual that the positions of attention and parade rest and the lean and rest are known to make the 320/m18 fire - and they refer us to the part that says do not carry with round in chamber .

I have only heard of one in the military and two guys were walking past each other and their guns bumped together and one discharged. That is the only one I know of.
I still find it weird that with close to 3 million in circulation worldwide why almost all are LE and there are none in the rest of the world, again that I know of.
And it has never been reproduced because if someone was able to do that SIG would be bankrupt right now. Yes I know there are videos ...... if I stick this hair thin "poky thing" right in this little void I can get it to discharge. Really ?? this is a design flaw ??

That test is not to see if it will go off, it is to see if striker block actually works. If you pull trigger, the trigger bar with deactivate striker safety, so you must be able to drop striker without pulling trigger. The use of a small punch/dental pick is used to push sear down and drop striker. If striker safety plunger is working, it will catch the striker and prevent a discharge. What that video shows is that a decent percentage of sig 320 striker safety plungers fail at holding striker back. In fact there is only a very small amount of material that stops it, like .010-.020". I get it, you like your sig and your emotionally attached. Sig has stepped on their dick with their PR blitz. If you think the 320 is unsafe or dangerous, you're anti-gun, that's their words.

Let me put it this way, if the 320 was soooo great, why did sig completely change everything about it when they introduced the 365? It would have been infinitely easier to just downsize the 320 and make it the 365. Instead they are 100% differently engineered and designed everything, probably cause they knew the 320 was a pile of shit.

SigSauer sliped right into Colts shoes in US military, company that has not made a single weapon design without it ending as s semi finished product ending in massive redesign a recall or two , stuff faling apart ,shoting by it self , but for US military it golden , so one has to ask what kind of retirement package do they offer to the brass
