Why I now carry the SIG Sauer P320 Compact 9mm pistol

[JCSR]

LOL, I went to a striker fire only after they were available with a manual safety.
I have zero desire to have a striker pistol discharge when I'm pulling it out or putting it in a holster. A 320 has multiple safety's built into it.
Its everything Glock Perfection just can't attain with 5 generations now.

This is one gun that for sure needs a manual safety. You did good.

Doesn't this mean Sig Sauer lost in court?
Summary judgement in favor of SIG SAUER, I read that so many times I stopped counting.

Funny, my Springfield's don't seem to have that feature! Must be a SIG only option...

There must be a lot of morons out there.

Would that be an XD pistol?

Right or wrong. The SIG P320 still has a problem. But its not with the pistol. Its with the tarnished image the pistol still carries. Just mention P320 anywhere, and the jokes, memes, wisecracks, rumors, etc come flooding out. Even if the issue is fixed (and I am quite sure it is quite well fixed, SIG is a competent company) the name P320 is hopelessly tarnished.

SIG should probably re-release the gun under a new model name. P325 perhaps?

If nothing else this thread demonstrates this.

Funny that the US Army and US Marine Corps are still buying them.

With your vast knowledge with Sig Sauers you should apply for this job, If you get it you can straiten them out in how to really do marketing well.

They buy the M17/M18 which have a host of modifications to the Technical Data Package that make them quite different from a P320

Not the civilian model. We have 3 of them, none have yet to fire without a booger hook on the bang switch.

The Government Model is not for sale to the public. Other that the few that the Army returned in the beginning with the hammer drop issue a few years back. Those were sold to the public.

My older son is still a Grunt in the USMC, he has one at work along with a Glock 19. None of the men he serves with have had any errant discharges with their M17's. Swear to God, State Law.

If I may help your thread OP....
I admire the idea of trimming down to just what you need. Get something practical, with good aftermarket support, and train to a very high degree with it.

I dont think I could get down to just one. I still want to have a target 22 handgun, and a pocket gun, and a compact carry gun just to be well rounded.

I took a very similar way of looking at things as you did but just ended up with a Glock 19 instead. If ya like the Sig and it keeps performing well then more power to ya

This is very true. All 3 gun shops I went to look at 320s, every one of the counter jockeys had something to say about them. One guy made a comment about not dropping it down the stairs because it could go full auto. While funny it did not help them sell a pistol. Another is a Sig master dealer basically asked why I would want a 320. They had a case full of them but apparently didn't want to sell one. Ultimately I found the model I was looking for online and ordered it for only about $200 more than a basic 320X carry. The dealer who did the transfer even made a comment but were were interested once I told them about my intent to build a Flux Raider. The 320 certainly has an image problem, funny thing is that aside from the ND comments I've not anyone say they are unreliable pistols.

I'm pleased with the M17's I have, and the compact my son carries works well. We shoot them as well or better than the many other pistols we own or have owned. Doubt I'll ever be down to 1 pistol though.
