sig is in trouble with the p320

     The Sig Sauer P320 was billed as a Gock killer and the replacement of the Beretta M9 in the military but after the adoption of the side arm the gremlins started showing up, with numerous incidents of the weapon discharging without a pull of the trigger. even when holstered this have led to injury and lawsuits 

    Sig stands by the weapon stating it meets all safety standards, and all issues have been picked over and re-engineered and is a safe weapons system of the armed forces of the United States, Law enforcement and civilian self-defense.  yet the issues continue with accidental discharges when the gun is dropped.

    Sig does incest that all the issues have been rectified and with the P320 voluntary upgrade program you can send in the weapon and the factory will go over the pistol and take care of any issues that may be hidden in the gun.  

    Now the US Air Force have paused all use of said gun when an airman was killed with his side arm accidentally went off.  Bryden Lovan 21 of the 90th security squadron his death is being investigated, and the details are under wraps due to it being an active investigation, but reports are leaking out the weapon was dropped and the firearm discharged causing the death of the serviceman.  

    Now the weapons system is under review and quite possibly will be replaced by the armed forces.  time will tell the fate of the gun in the LEO and Armed Forces.  

    I do own one of the guns in question and I actually EDC the gun.  I have never had any issues with the gun.  It always operates flawlessly for me comfortable in the hand and is easy to keep the gun on target.  I have yet to send her out for the upgrades I do however plan on doing so and I will most likely do it in the very soon future especially with the current dust ups sounding the gun.  better safe than sorry.



               


8/1/25
    *More and more lawsuits are being filed against Sig several by LEO (law enforcement officers) as well as military members stating the weapon will discharge when holstered with minimal to no interaction with the trigger.  this is not looking good for the once vaunted company.  there are reports stating that sig engineers and former engineers all knew of this issue and the company stood behind the product even after the light was shown on the issues.  this is going to be a hard row for the company to come back from.

its big its beautiful its a bill ITS A BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL

      The big, beautiful bill contained some NFA items in it.  If you followed the bill, you would know what I am talking about. It held language regarding suppressors and shirt barrel rifles.  the hope was to have them removed from the NFA.  What does that mean?  well in laymen terms the feds wanted to have the SBR and all suppressors removed from the registry and that would take away the tax stamp needed to legally own one of these items.      If you want to legally possess a short barrel rifle (SBR) or a suppressor (silencer) you needed to go to a class three FFL, fill out paperwork, have papers signed by the local sheriff and turn in fingerprints an pay a 200-dollar tax stamp fee.  All this paperwork was then sent to the BATF and you waited.  the weight time was in most cases close to a year before you got the thumbs up or down. all this was just stupid and unnecessary.  it was like bureaucratic busy work. ...

WELL THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY

      I have been dealing with a lot of pain in my hands, wrists and arm for a little over two years now.  My right hand was always the worst of the two.  It got to the point where I cannot sleep, loosing feeling and in constant pain.  It feels like a match in lit in my wrist and as the day rolls on it becomes a blow torch.  I finally spoke with my PCP about it and got a referral to see a specialist.  and after a battery of testing its determined that I need an operation, at first it was carpal tunnel in my wrist but after speaking with the surgeon it was found I also need a operation on my nerve leading into the thumb on my right hand as well as an operation on my right elbow so four places need operated in total.  man, when I go big, I GO BIG I guess.      I'm hoping all this will clear up all the pain I'm in.  I need sleep and to be human once again.  I have several irons in the fire and need to be healthy.  I...
