Police drop P320s over safety worries, then resell to the public:Police are reselling their SIG Sauer P320 pistols—alleged in multiple lawsuits to fire without the trigger being pulled—to the public.
Police drop P320s over safety worries, then resell to the public
Wouldn’t be surprised if the problem mysteriously goes away in the hands of people who aren’t LEO.
Coincidentally, the new LEO handgun will have the same problem.
Nah the 320 has been proven beyond a doubt to fire for basically no reason. Sig, while claiming there was no problem, just randomly decided to offer a "voluntary" upgrade for the trigger assembly for no cost!

If you can stomach a whole guntube video, Brandon Herrera covers the drama in depth.
What this means is there's a good chance these cops are selling known defective guns to the public.
Blegh, not so much the guntube part, but more the youtube part: quick cuts, ads, the works.
Forgotten Weapons has a more... professional? approach:
The problem when a very serious design flaw like this becomes known is that the reputation of the gun will be tainted forever.
Even if the problem is completely solved people will still default to blaming the gun whenever there is an accident caused by the operator. And since SIG fucked up twice and initially mishandled the problem both times, that reputational harm is going no where any time soon.
That kind of dynamic ruined the Blackhawk SERPA holster as well.
If the trigger is a full fix that's a pretty good deal. Sure, I'll RMA your shit for a steep discount.
"LEO" makes them sound better than they are: pigs
They purchase a huge amount of guns. You would think that they would have the ability to return the entire batch directly rather than resell them.
Who cares their budget will double no matter who wins public office!
I was just thinking of getting one of these...
It probably isn't that bad if an issue. Probably goes away entirely once out of the hands of pigs.
Look up specs and online discussions around them. Probably an easy fix for less than 20 bucks if it is a real problem.
Anyone got a link so I can buy one ?
All the better! More dead people, more slave free labor!
As zombies?
One does not preclude the other. Kind of like people can simultaneously hold great ideas and horrible ideas.
