If youtube did not exist........would there really be a known issue? I suspect that if this was an issue, that could be replicated, there would be a bunch of videos about it, and Sig would have to recall them and fix the issue. I think I have seen one video where someone could replicate the issue..........not to say there is not an issue.......just saying. Kind of like UFOs and bigfoot.
Reminds me of the old Remington 700 trigger thing......come to find out, it was not Remingtons fault, it was aftermarket triggers and gunsmiths making the gun unsafe.
That said, just because it is made by one of Sigs companies, does not make it an excellent product. Basing things on reputation can be dangerous.
Personally, I dont know why Sig won the contract.....well I do, and it was not by merit.

There are YouTube videos that claim to replicate the issue, but like anything in life, chances are the YouTubers just want their 5 minutes of fame and clicks. We don’t know how legitimate these “tests” are. It wouldn’t be hard to modify the internals just to make the outcome the creator desires.
That is why I didn’t post any of those videos.

New rule of gun safety:
Treat all guns if they're a sig p320.
Treat all guns if they're a sig p320.
I carried the exact SIG P320 equipped with a red dot and night light in a polymer holster for the past 7 years. It shot well, and I never had an accidental discharge. Needless to say recently they were all traded for Glocks.
I am seeing more gun ranges post rules online and at the range prohibiting the P320 from being brought onto their property. Banned. No sale, trade, carry, shooting, or repair work on the P320 is allowed.

P365 has no such issue
I suspect this is due to liability and fear lawsuits due to the publicity surrounding the small number of published cases rather than actual experience.
You’ve chosen a good gun.
I’m not sure you chose it for the right reasons.
The P365 doesn’t have any of the problems that the P320 does. It’s not a SIG issue, if there is even an issue at all, it is a P320 issue.
I know that the issue is a 320 issue and not a 365 issue. I guess it's the way sig has handled or should I say not handled the issue with the 320. Made me think that if I did have an issue with the 365 I was not confident that they would be there on the customer service end. I know they can make a really great firearm but customer service is important to me in the end.
Guns don't kill, people kill, unless it's a Sig. And Sig is in denial too. That gun was a problem since it came about years back, there was quite a bit of chatter on it in competitive pistol shooting circles. It's getting banned now in competitions.
