Is anyone still carrying a P320?

Just curious, with all the drama with the P320, is anyone still carrying it? If so, please share your setup / pics...

Seems like most has cleared up, lawsuits failed.

If you watch Youtube, etc, discount everyone that has to “Manipulate” the trigger by putting a pin, screw, nail, etc to put enough pressure on trigger to disengage the FPS. Very disingenuous.

My kid carries it. It's unmodified and any attempts to get it to misfire failed.

I have my thoughts on the P320 and I tend to side with Sig and not the users that had misfires. The examples I've seen, the guns were modified and were outside spec and tolerances of the engineering.

I’m confident about the p320 being safe but I’d never carry one. I didn’t think much of it truthfully until I increased the weight with a metal grip module. Game changer for sure. I feel I’d be better off carrying a g19 instead if I wanted to deal with the bulk. None of that matters because I have my xmacro and it’s perfectly suited for that purpose

To be honest, the P365 platform is pretty amazing.

Had my M18 for about six years, never missed a beat- dry or miss fire. I keep it clean and well lubed, defensive rounds HST's only. Although there are a few others I would use without hesitation, there's just no reason to have multiple defense variants). It replaced my P229/.40, P365 and P226/9mm I've carried for over two decades- all great guns that have good to me. The only conflict (and its in my head not reality) is I always carry the P229 when going to rough town- want that .40 standing up for me if needed. There's no real logic to that, the 9mm HST is an excellent round too. "Just cause" I guess. "Why"- cause I can.

All that said you’d be nuts to not carry the m18! I wish I could just drag around my mk12 everywhere I go but that makes no sense lol. It’s the only thing I have that level of confidence in. I have a tendency to tinker with pistols until they become unreliable unfortunately.

Yep Vedder lighttuck for both.. love my M18. The drama is just drama

While I hate to stir the pot, but there has been several suits that Sig settled out of court and several vids of the P320 going off inside of holsters with LEO etc so I'm sure they were not modified duty guns. These guns were not just holstered but have been in there without manipulation. While true no one has successfully duplicate it, the reasons why so many have had uncommanded discharges own their own would keep me from owning a P320. A simple Google/YT search will have several results, so yes the data is out there and it's your choice either way what to do believe it or not.

Glock .40 cal Kabooms were real, Glock redesigned the chamber to better support the .40 cal cartridge when firing; problem solved.

Sig already addressed the initial design problem with a slight redesign, again, problem solved.

Glock also faced decades of numerous lawsuits and is still being sued as we speak and had so many ND’s that Glock leg became a term.

But some guys believed the internet hype so hard they’ll cling to their couple videos from ten years ago. My favorite is the video of the guy at the range that has his finger on the trigger and they said it’s an “uncommanded discharge” as he holsters. lol

I have an actual built up M18 USGI Contract Slide (not P320) with USGI M17 RDO that I am selling. Very smooth. Built because I wanted to carry it.

Only selling because my astigmatism is so bad I cannot use RDO, etc. anymore so this has no use for me now.

The only type of sight, besides irons I can use is Prisms.

 

[seanjq]

Yep.

Just bought one for competition. I'll be carrying it in a holster on those days, just in an owb competition holster not pointed at my giblets.

Seems like they've made some silent mid generation revisions as well. The M9 also had serious issues when it first came out

M9s problem was metallurgy in slide. They fixed that, but also added the extra wide end stop on hammer pin in case the slide cracked it couldn’t fly back and hit the user in the face.

Just like the US Marine Corps Force Recon used Kimber 1911’s for their Interim Pistol while waiting to suss out specs and have a procurement bid. Other than the finish, the Kimbers performed admirably.

Colt gets contract and has problems with cracked frames that require an immediate redesign of frame in the rail area.

This has been going on forever, haters of a particular platform or company are usually the loudest though.

Speaking of which there’s a factory 320 Axg grip on eBay for $200. Item 168621350936

I think it's labeled wrong, that's the SKU for P365

I'm not sure why everyone assumes anyone who post problems with the Sig P320 is somehow offended if you post something about a Glock.

Just to get this straight you're stating the in 2017 when Sig did their "voluntary redesign" by adding a thinner trigger shoe, lighter sear/striker, and a mechanical disconnector that Sig said this will fix the uncommanded discharges? Also these problems will not happen again?

IIRC there have been more than a few video taped uncommanded discharges with the last 1.5 years which is quite a few years after 2017 so I'm not convinced that the problem was solved. Also a engineering firm along side of a former Sig designer stated the trigger is incomplete and unsafe since the safety blocks the trigger movement not the sear. The P320 relies on a block that is in the FCU unlike the "Glock, P365 and others that utilizes a firing pin block incorporated into the slide hence no uncommanded discharges. So yeah it's not fixed by Sigs voluntary redesign. Also how does Sig try to protect themself? Well in 2025 Sig change their instruction manual in the P320 to state not to load the chamber until you are ready to shoot.

It looks like you’re right
