    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.

          I can’t stand watching gun-related content creators on Youtube other than Forgotten Weapons or Jonathan Ferguson. So many horrible political takes and treating guns like toys.

        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.

    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.

      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.
