Another P320 firing by itself incident. Injured police officer.

Yeah I wouldn’t worry about the 365’s. I haven’t came across a single story about them. The 320 however definitely gives me pause.

So many people say things like “I haven’t had any problems with mine”… Well there is no symptoms or signs or “problems” they just occasionally go bang on their own (commonly police service weapons as previously mentioned)

One issue I think is concerning is once departments move away and the LE batched ones go to open market as trade-ins

That is indeed concerning

At least the 320 discussion isn't like some others where the owners try to shut down discussion on the issues.

The P320 have had an upgrade. Mine has it. It's adds a disconnect and also reduces the trigger pull. New ones already have it but you can check your serial number and send your in for free to have it done.

I have five 320s, M17, XTEN, Compact, Carry, and AXG Pro. No incidents of any kind. Seems odd that all the reported ADs are with police officers guns. Any reports of civilian owned 320s firing in holsters?

The primary issue with the department issued guns was that their internals came from an sig shop outside the US and was assembled here. This kept overhead down so they could offer them to departments for cheaper price per unit. Cheaper thinly made sears slipping and allowing firing pin to drop was one issue. A second was one of the most widely used LE holsters, Safariland, had an issue where the rear of the holster near the trigger guard had a large (3/4” or better) gap. Things could and did get in that gap and one way or another the trigger was manipulated and caused the gun to fire.

The cheaper guts on LE guns is main cause of issue, hence why this hasn’t been a rampant issue with civilian owned guns…or the military issued ones.

Do you have links showing that? It matches exactly what I said as for large contract gun runs having possibly some defect that others lacked past happenstance overrun going elsewhere.

Go check the packaging/place of origin on sig sauer OEM parts, India.
There are plenty of forum links for it on sig talk among others. An official news story? Hell no, sig wouldn’t let that happen. But also know former sig rep that openly admitted it, one of the reasons he left them after that stunt.

Well, I was hoping you could provide more info past telling me to go and check packaging on parts unavailable around here, and vague reference to other second hand info on the Sig forum same as posted here....

As a matter of fact, I went to the Sig forum and this India thing is old news, that firm also makes turbine blades, the Sig forum rather tired of the discussion, and past the old news drop-safe failures in very limited circumstances, not much hard info there, either.

That being said, I again repeat my distaste of Glockish voluntary recalls, where Glock surely dodged a needed recall, and Sig's actions giving even the appearance of doing the same has me not wanting to run out and buy one, causes me to suspect the worst on the newer gun, same as their extractors breaking on compact nines had me not wanting to keep mine and it was sold, and I have no plans to buy a gun from them again. Newer ain't always better among most every maker, and often times is worse.

I’ll speak what I know from people I trust, if you’d like hard links, Google away to your hearts content. As for their new latest and greatest I picked up one of their first run XTens and had failure to feed, failures to extract, magazine issues etc.
I am with you to the point that I won’t be buying any first gen/first run production series as their past releases have continuously shown to me that they choose (to an extent) to QC on their consumer base.
