The SIG Sauer P320 Has Never Been Good

Exactly. Even the much loved AR was reviled at first, into the 80s some people still brought up old stories of how they jammed so easily or how they couldn't stabilize heavier bullets. All thing addressed and fixed earlier, but never forgotten. Point is, a lot of excellent firearms needed some tweaks before becoming legend.

Then you have turds like the M-14 which was rammed through development and into service and justified by fundamentally flawed concepts despite many shortcomings and at the cost of many excellent other designs and chamberings while the Americans lied through their teeth to the rest of NATO regarding their commitment to a common arm/caliber.
They had a ton of issues in the field besides being the wrong rifle at the wrong time, were truly middling in every possible respect at best, were replaced as the standard service rifle within 7 years, and yet still has a devoted fanbase who will swear up and down it was the greatest rifle ever fielded.
 
Bought a 320 years ago when they first came out. Sent it back for the "upgrade". Have thousands of rounds through it in IDPA and 3 gun, extremely reliable no complaints and if I did, it's not like I can buy something else.

Here we go again... More made up BS or useless annecdotal one offs from guns that are most likely not maintained. I have 18k through mine and counting no issues other than ammo related.

Please show me 22 other instances of a pistol firing itself in the holster, over a ten year period.

There shouldn't be a single one, and yet this manufacturer is still selling pistols that are shooting people, from inside the holster.

Anecdotal lol (only one n, by the way). I do remember that there occasionally would be a glock here and there that would malfunction but they weren't IN the holster. They were going in or coming out and all operator error.
 
The reports are definitely a little worrisome. Sig's most recent response was crazy, they should fire the media team that came up with that asinine idea.
 
SIGs, even when made correctly or a sound design, are still a poor choice simply because of their weight and bore axis.

The 320 is a poor design exacerbated by SIG's quality control woes. Even guns like the 365 are suffering lately.

I don't care about "muh seals" because if you gave some roided out gorillas millions of dollars for training they'd make a Hi-Point look good.
 
I have 2 P320’s and have put a couple thousand rounds thru both of them. Have had zero issues with either of them. I do however clean them, use only factory ammo, leave my finger out of the trigger gaurd and not drop them on the ground lol. Still it would have been nice if sig went for a glock style trigger safety or M&P style segment trigger safety.
 
If you watch Ben Stoeger discuss what he thinks might be going on with the P320, he specifically references a test that some users are performing on their P320 pistols.

What I think is happening with the Sig stuff

Apparently some P320 pistols will 'pass' the test, and other P320 pistols will 'fail' the test.
 
You can choose to believe the failure reports from the field, SIG-Sauer's piss-poor attempt at damage and narrative control (aka: "there is nothing to see here"), or like me, you may find that the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle. Some have had issues. A great, very, many P320s have rendered stellar service without so much as a hiccup. Who and what to believe has become a personal matter at this point...

Bottom line? You can't do THIS with a Glock, Beretta or S&W 9mm pistol. All thanks to the SIG P320's genius modular design of the Fire Control Unit:
