Sig 320 going off on its own

I heard that only the US Army version got the correction, and that the civilian guns are still as originally made. No idea what the Canadian military model will be.
 
Holstering a loaded firearm in a serviceable holster is a perfectly normal and accepted practice. The fellow in the first video was using a Bladetech holster, who have an excellent reputation for quality, and the photo of his holster and shirt at the time of the incident clearly show the pistol was able to be holstered without obstructions. Had an obstruction been present, it would have likely AD/ND'd upon the act of holstering, not as he moved his hands to the 'ready' position for his string of fire.

The incident in the first video isn't the same as some of the above examples of 'wrapped securely in a towel', or throwing a holstered firearm in a purse, so it is pretty funny a bunch of people come out of the woodwork to conflate the these issues with the first.

To anyone that thinks a pistol doesn't belong in a properly constructed holster :rolleyes:, give your head a shake.

I agree with you when you say "Holstering a loaded firearm in a serviceable holster is a perfectly normal and accepted practice".

But there is still a risk, it is a loaded pistol.

And every story I hear about guns just going off, for no reason, I always take with a grain of salt. Just because the interwebs says it doesn't make it a true.

A loaded pistol on your hip is much more likely to go off compared to an unloaded pistol with the action open on a bench.

I can see how that might be confusing.

Gotcha, so never load your pistol and keep it open on the bench, silly me, thanks for clarifying. May I suggest you trigger lock it too?

Posted this answer on your Sig 320 thread but thought I would post here too.
I wouldn't panic but be aware the problem may still exist and keep an eye out. Contact Sig and see what they say. The accidental discharge seems to prevail but odds are remote. The old safety adage of treat every gun like it is ready to fire stands out no matter what you are carrying. I don't think even if I was allowed, or could, I would carry a gun fully loaded and ready to fire no matter how many "safeties" are built in. It just goes against everything I have been taught about firearms since day one 55 years ago

luckily people carrying for living are not taught by you ...
 
So I have watched the video put out but by sig as to the problems .
Seems to me there were 2 issues
#1 The drop safe issue
#2 The trigger issue

I need to take apart my P320 and see how it compares to the Sig video

I do believe I have the older trigger but need to pull it out and look at it

It was more than a trigger shoe with less mass, b) a lighter striker, c) a lighter sear, and d) an added disconnect. These were all (except for d) apparently developed for the Army-adopted XM17

do not put carriers at a higher level than you can reach, just a matter of training and it s no.t that high ...

Exactly, if the police can do it without hitting themselves in the foot (most of the times). I should be able to as well.
How hard is it to keep your finger off the trigger?
 
With SiG sometimes the firing pin stays an outy and you bang up on something and it goes off. However this would only be a problem training and after engaging a target. Cops and military will call it the SIG leg or SIG firing line parter.
 
The trigger on my recently purchased P320 X5 Legion looks nothing like either of the pics 1ABNDT posted. It's a straight blade, slightly triangular-shaped metal trigger with milled holes in the sides. I wonder if it's easier to find out via serial #s if there's a potential issue?
I picked up a Bladetech holster for it as well, but don't have time to take a holster course so I haven't done anything but test fit.
 
Legions got an improved trigger vs the normal p320's is why.

I thought all we had to do was search the serial number on sigs website? Anything made after X date was already taken care of.
