Still like the Sig 320? 20 Federal agents, police, private citizens file lawsuit

[DirectDrive]

@sobo
I was curious if adding the mechanical trigger block after the VUP changed the way the trigger feels by having the extra link to push on? Or can you even tell the difference?
Thanks!

I bought a Full Size that I believe was a police trade-in (Red Box pistol).
It was a retro-fit.....I could see the fresh cut in the slide to accommodate the new disconnector.
The pistol had a 3+lb trigger pull weight out of the box, which I liked.
It would have been easy to increase pull weight, had I wanted to.

All the more reasons to stay away from SIG products that are not P226, 229, 228, 220 series

I own old and new Sigs and like both. I do believe the polymer pistols are more open to user errors in messing with parts. Some of this is the current trend of significant mods to guns. I don't remember a lot of people extensively stripping a P226 or modifying them regularly.

I have never really cared for striker fired pistols. The hammer on a traditional SA/DA or a DA pistol gives me comfort in knowing it's not going off on it's own. I it does I can't blame it on.the pistol.

I wonder if Cody Higgins is on our fourm?

I only like full framed Glock. So the sub compacts and compacts are out. I don't like the grip angles or how they feel.

Hmmm, OK... I have a full-framed G21, and a gen5 G19. The 19 is noticably smaller than the G21 and I find myself liking it more and more.. The 21 begins to feel a bit elephantine in comparision.. JMO, YMMV!

Not a fan of Sig, especially their striker fired pistols. Crazy high bore axis and pricey magazines/parts. I have noticed many high speed "influencers" jumping on the Sigwagon and damn near every new weapon system on government contracts is made by Sig. I'm not convinced these contracts are a result of Sig being the best option- more likely some powerful hands got greased.

I also would like to hear Mr. Higgins comments.

After doing a little reading on this class action lawsuit paperwork, it would appear that there are enough reported incidents of discharges without trigger pull (with some being video recorded) that I would suggest anyone owning a P320 take advantage of the VUP to install the mechanical firing pin block.

Be safe out there everyone. These incidents look to be recent and therefore POST recall.

Huge Thanks for posting the info. I sent it to my sister who has a p320. She had no idea and will be extra cautious and see what will be done for a fix.

Cue the Taurus "shake to fire" pistol video in 3...2...1...

Oh wait, I'm the one that always posts that...

Keep in mind that all this went down about 5 years ago.
There are not many P320s in the wild without the disconnector.
Your sister's pistol has been most likely manufactured with the disco.

Which gun was that?!

You asked for it. And this one is not April fools. Over 1 million guns recalled as I understand it.

Skip to 1:50 mark if short on time. "shake to fire" system saves time when firing from the draw

Wow. Never seen that one. Watched the whole thing.

At least Taurus does the right thing and recall their stuff, SIG.... well, you hear what they do all too often. They beta test their products which are costly crap.

Off topic but this thread somehow reminds me of that chair you sit in front of a gun set to go off at an unknown time. Kind of like a gun of Damocles ha ha. I remember seeing it on a tv show. Can't find much on it anymore. Saw this random post:

Whatever happened to the chair with a gun pointing at it? - #3 by albino_manatee - Cafe Society - Straight Dope Message Board

Twenty (?) years ago, someone set up a chair with a loaded gun pointing at it. The gun was programmed to fire at some random time withing the next few years. After signing a waiver and paying a fee, one could sit in th…

I should mention that this one is not an April fools joke either even though it kinda sounds like it.

I have had good service out of a taurus g2c - if does make one curious about taurus pistols.

I think the Clintons own some of those "it was suicide" chairs.

This was LONG the big downside to the Bersa line. They make some nice pistols for nice price but, for many of them the damn mags are a real downer. Years ago Wife wanted a .380 to leave at work and I told her to go look at the Bersa as I had, had a few of them over the years. She came home with one I did not know they were making back then, the 15+1 model. Turned out great but mags? No one sold them. Only place to buy was the importer and they were $50 each.
So I finally gave in and ordered a handful. Told her the damn mags cost as much as the pistol. At that time they were importing a nice D/A .45 that I really liked when I got to shoot but it was the same thing. To buy as many mags as I would want to have would have cost more than the damn pistol. Don't know if its still like this for them but it sure put a damper on me buying several of their offerings.
