Is anyone looking for a Sig P-320?

[mdwest]

My question...How long it will be before the military jumps ship?

A couple of commands have already stopped use while the investigation of the airman that was killed is conducted…

If past is prologue. 10 years

But Michigan just approved a contract with Sig to supply the P-320/M-18 for their state police.

Why the sarcastic posts to the OP?

I remember when Glocks first came out and there were some "accidental discharges", which turned out to be the shooter's fault.

Good luck with the sale, beautiful guns. You may want to have them assembled and provide more/better pictures.

We’re talking about major design differences. I examined the design of the p320 when it came out a decade or so ago and immediately decided it was a bad idea. The trigger alone was a serious concern. Sure enough, Sig began offering the “voluntary upgrade” for the trigger to make it drop safe within the first few years. Since then there have been hundreds of anecdotal reports of these guns discharging from the holster. We now see several police videos that appear to corroborate that along with numerous videos of gun enthusiasts effectively able to demonstrate how the flaw(s) come together and allow these uncommanded discharges to occur. Sig released a statement a few months ago (“it ends today”) saying that the guns can’t fire without the trigger being pulled. Since numerous videos of gun enthusiasts effectively able to demonstrate how the flaw(s) come together and allow these uncommanded discharges to occur have been recently viewed hundreds of thousands (going on millions) of times in recent weeks, Sig has revised their statement to indicate that the guns can’t fire “without the trigger being moved to the rear” which is a significant change in wording. It seems that the gun may be able to fire if the trigger is slightly taken up (not fully pulled to rear) as little as half a millimeter and the slide is simultaneously jiggled or bumped. A bit of debris could easily cause it to happen. No firearm should be able to discharge in such a manner. It is inherently unsafe. I think the tolerance stacking of inferior quality parts along with a design that was already pushing the boundaries is what may allow the perfect storm to occur in some examples. The p320 with a very short and light trigger pull, no trigger “dingus” safety, no plunger style firing pin block, and a fully cocked striker, along with the tolerance stacking resulting from cost-cutting manufacturing is an accident waiting to happen.
Glock pistols have been involved in many unintended discharges over the years but this is very different from uncommanded discharges. Examples of poor trigger discipline and using the wrong holster (or no holster) have been the cause of many accidents involving Glock pistols. The difference is true user error versus major flaws in design and manufacturing.

A few years back my organization replaced our Beretta M9s with the M17. The first trip to the range to qualify with new kit was a bit of a disaster. I’ve never seen so many malfunctions before or since. These were new pistols fresh out of the box, properly cleaned and lubricated.

I frankly didn’t expect this. I found the m17 was very easy to shoot well with a very good trigger, when it was working. Luckily my organization also has the trusty Glock 19 in the inventory. It remains the go to.

1911'S are dependable , hard hitting , and have 2 safeties, cocked and locked is the way I carry one, once I found mine off safety, but Ive still got the Grip safety. What is wrong with that. Ive read that some SF guys still prefer the 1911. IF all else falls they make a heavy club.

Man, I rarely comment here but maybe we start another thread to crap on the 320 and let OP have his sale thread?
