Do we really think Bruce is going to come on here and say "yes, there is a major drop fire issue with the 320" or "nope, no issue at all with the 320?"

I think he is smarter than that. I'd bet he's gonna' let SIG handle this one.


Risk the consequences of honesty...

Everyone on this site loves and respects Bruce for his contributions to the sig community and to this site in particular.

That being said, as brilliant as he is.... no gunsmith can forsee every possible issue with a pistol design. It is entirely plausible for Bruce to have done intense testing, yet missed this particular scenario.

As for not worry? Well I was reading over on another pistol forum with a 35+ page thread, where multiple people have accidentally dropped pistols over the years out of locker top shelves or other places onto concrete.

As we see in the Stamford case: https://drive.google.com/file/...N3l1SHkwQ243TWs/view

This does pose a HUGE danger if true.

That's like, your opinion, man.


All this dude ever wanted was his P320 to work right.

I have dropped 2 guns.
The first being my 226 it was sitting on the table on some newspaper I got up from the table and as I raised up the paper snagged between me and the table rolling the pistol off the table. My first instinct was to get myself the opposite direction of the falling firearm.
Dropped my 27 while holding it in another holster with a bunch of crap in my hands. Same thing first thought is to get away.
This is silly to me. There are so many ways and angles that a firearm can be dropped snagged etc. I don't trust any to be drop safe.
I'll get around to buying a 320 this does not sway me.


I just don't understand the logic here. You are fully cognizant of the risk of an accidental discharge when dropped. You are aware that firearms can and do drop accidentally... yet the P320 failing at such a high rate in three independent videos now doesn't sway you? I'm sorry... but that makes zero sense to me.

This drop test failure business is BS, let's join the primary thread.
