I didn't know Sig was producing "smart guns"

 

[Member 34319]

Well, he isn't exactly wrong.

 

[Kruel J]

But I thought the Sigs were so much better than Glock?

Another fine example of why I won't carry or own Sig products.

I've been deriding Sig's "patented triple-action" firing method for years.


1. Single-action

2. Double-action

3. Drop-action

I thought they fixed the drop issue a few years ago…..and now this. I don't think the 320 is a good option for personal carry.

Everyone was enamored with Sig's back in the 80's. They never did anything for me and I went the 92F route before eventually going full "glocktard" for EDC/PDW from the Gen.3 onwards.

Kinda doubt it… it looks like it was slightly modified into either "holster-action", or "ghost-action".

One thing I wish these would cover.

WHICH P320 MODEL?


Base? X series? SIG is like Nintendo and has so many damn variants.

Also what holsters were used? It's always so vague.

 

[JRuby]

Never been a fan of striker fired pistols

Drop issue? The link speaks of phantom holsters discharges not drop. I guess facts are not important. While not discounting possible, though seemingly suspicious discharges, methinks other things could be in play. Nevertheless there will be no stifling armchair critics who dislike Sig's muddying the waters with hearsay opines. I'd rather Wait for the science than trial by opinion. Albeit not a 320, I'll keep, and continue to feel confident with my 365 as an EDC.

 

[JRuby]

I have a p220, p229 and p290rs. I consider my limited experience with sigs to be positive. I want to see the science as well. To me this is along the same lines as the remington 700 trigger. They are fine til you start messing with them but that is my opinion

 

[Capn Jack]

S&W 469, 12 rounds, no mag block, de cocker, a "Real" trigger and all steel so if I miss I can still beat them to death with it.

It still needs a bayonet lug though.

Way too many what if's here and no evidence stated. Were the involved pistols inspected by a certified gunsmith expert to see if there were any issues or dirty or? Just because you are a supposed "highly trained officer" (laugh inserted) doesn't mean you didn't have an accidental or negligent discharge, it happens more than people care to admit. The one guy as stated trained people in the military for 20yrs that doesn't mean spit to me, how long ago was that? He works as a roof inspector at 62yrs old now maybe it was just his time for the inevitable. Definitely not a Sig fan but looks more like another in the long line of ambulance chaser lawyers.

Yes I like S&W as well
6906, cs40, 410s, 4043, 4516. To me they are equal to the Sigs.
