"WARNING" Video Shows Just How Bad Issues With Sig P320 May Be

  • The SIG Sauer P320 (and its military variant, the M18) is under fire after alleged uncommanded discharges—including a fatal incident involving an Air Force airman.
  • The FBI investigated one pistol and reported a potential defect; however, their conclusions are limited to that single firearm.
  • A YouTube channel (Wyoming Gun Project) conducted separate testing. It reportedly caused another P320 to fire multiple times by simulating parts wear or tolerance issues (using a screw to take up trigger slack). The pistol discharged without trigger pressure several times during slide manipulation.
  • The author notes that similar benign tests with a Glock 19 and CZ 75B did not produce any discharges under comparable conditions.
  • Despite SIG's insistence there's no defect—blaming user error or conspiracy—the accumulating pattern of incidents, reports, and lawsuits has sparked growing concern.

Bottom line: The article highlights troubling evidence suggesting potential safety defects in the P320/M18, including documented tests showing uncommanded firings, growing legal cases, and criticism that SIG Sauer has been slow to acknowledge or resolve the issue properly.

Hey, at least it doesn't kill you when you set it down.

I guess all the gun mags will now have to include a "table test" in their reviews to check that. 🙄

I think that this is going to hurt Sig BIG! The fact that they have a problem with the P320 that is fixable. The fact that they are fighting it and schizophrenically blaming the user for the problem, not going to set well with the shooting community.

EXACTLY!
I'm never going to buy one now, even if they "fix" it.
Too many other good options out there.
 
There seems to be a former engineer who worked for SIG that has applied for a patent for an improved fire control system that fixes the un-commanded discharge problem. Practical Shooters Insight has it on there page as well as others
