When did this last one happen?
Never been a fan of any striker fired Sig. I think the west German made P220, P226, P228 and P229 are awesome weapons, but not the 320. 
Totally agree. Cant stand the 320. Looking at it makes me annoyed even.Never been a fan of any striker fired Sig. I think the west German made P220, P226, P228 and P229 are awesome weapons, but not the 320.
Look away.
I have one.
That is disappointing, I hope the officers’ recover fully. I don’t know what to think about the P320 discharges. Anecdotally, I’ve owned, EDC’d an M18 (using the manual frame mounted safety) for several years without incident. Also a full sized, slick side M17, competing in several local matches and training classes with no unplanned discharges. Working from OWB kydex holsters. Single anecdotal stories don’t mean much, I know. Other than catching the holstered pistol on a narrow chair armrest, as I sat down, I haven’t banged it around, hitting car doors, steering wheels or dropping it, chamber loaded. No rough treatment. I have changed EDC to a S&W M&P 2.0 9MM, when I found how well the factory textured grip, and circumference fit my hand. The Smiths’ frame mounted safety is very familiar to an old 1911 shooter.
TX has had a rash of such, but, last I heard, neither OKC or the OHP have had any problems.
Does this still hold true? If a defect, its numbers of discharges should proportionally mirror numbers of guns in service and not mirror state lines or certain areas. Well, let me amend that...it COULD happen that a certain production batch for a large order had some defect, but still with bleed thru to other contracts.
Personally, I hate striker fired pistols. I have owned a G17 and still own a G43, the 43 only still around as a winter coat pocket gun which otherwise lives in the car 365 and can be ignored without rusting, Glocks are good for that, a gun to ignore.

It’s a fresh news story I think it happened recently
I don't like 9mm but I have a P320 45acp and its a soft shooter. It's not my carry gun just a range toy. Not sure if only the 9mm have the questionable issues but I like my 45 a lot it has a great trigger.
The striker must have enough pre-load to fire. Which makes no sense to me. Seems it would be similar to lengthening the cruciform tail on a Glock. Which would shorten the trigger pull but make it unsafe. Although the FPB would still work. Hard to believe sig could make something with that issue.
