Sig Sauer p320

[Astro14]

I've been carrying one for almost three years now, an RXP (full-size with red dot). It was a quick and easy way into a red dot carry gun at the time, but it's stuck around.

I replaced the grip frame with one from Wilson Combat. The grip feels slimmer and kinda sorta 1911-ish to me.

I've shot it a lot, mostly with my cast bullet handloads. I've used it in I think five classes. Pretty accurate, and I don't remember ever having a malfunction.

The Wilson grip frame for my P365 is great. I like it much better than OEM. Because of the size of the pistol, I put Tungsten rods in it. The mass is down low, and makes a small, but noticeable, difference in recoil.

Sold My P320 Compact today. I had Sig do the latest update on the gun. My model was made in 2015. Got a new seer, new light weight trigger, and internal safety. Bought a new Sig P365 X with thumb safety

Just updating this thread with some more news which I hope will save lives. Sig recently lost another lawsuit for holstered discharge:

Also, note Guay v. Sig Sauer:

“The court found Guay credible in every respect.”

There’s mounting evidence that the P320s without manual safeties are still defective and dangerous. I urge people to be extremely careful with holster selection of these guns. Make extra sure it does not contact the trigger at all. Even slight pressure on the trigger can lead to the unsafe condition.

Taurus G3C owner here. Over 2500 rounds so far, no failures. I trust my life to it fully. Aside from 3 12rd mags it came with - I purchased 2 more 20rd mags. Still no issues of any kind, very good weapon, and low price is a great bonus. Due to its great performance I'm looking to buy one more G3C, or a full size G3 to keep around the house.

Dollar wise - I'll take two Taurus G3 or G3C over a single Glock 19, 17, or 43. Taurus also happens to give me a better grip and fits my hands better than those Glocks.

Bonus info: G3/G3C/G2C guns accept & effortlessly cycle Sig P226 mags, including the extended 32rd, if extra capacity is necessary.
Bonus info #2: Taurus GX4 also suffered issues similar to Sig P320, drop safety isn't great, compared to G2/G2C & G3/G3C guns.

Last month, I had the first malfunction I can recall. Naturally, it happened in a class while doing the qualifier in front of God and everybody.

I’m not sure exactly what type it was since I cleared it with a tap-rack and continued shooting, but it was a failure to return to battery of some type. I wasn’t able to search much, and didn't recover the culprit cartridge. It didn’t happen again.

It was late in the day, the gun was getting dry, and was filthy from cast bullet loads. I went to the nearby safe area at the next break and shot some oil in the obvious easy-acces places and went on.

I’m about two weeks away from the four year date of purchase anniversary. Annual low-light/night class is the night before.

More evidence is emerging that there is a design flaw:







If you own one, please be extremely careful. I highly recommend you do not carry it and do not put it in a holster. Relegate it to range use only where it is always pointed in a safe direction.

Conversion kits to add the manual safety are available, and it would be prudent to do so.
