Whew. Now we can put the P320 back in our holsters. That was close. ______________________________________________________ Often times a very small man can cast a very large shadow | |||

You can put it back in your holster if you like, but I’ll politely decline to put a 320 in my own holster thank you very much. I do still dig my P365 for its compactness when I really don’t feel like carrying a gun. If it wasn’t for the fact that SIG has left such a bad taste in my mouth that I no longer wish to support them as a company, I’d actually consider getting a P365 Fuze, quasi full size pistol. I actually really liked my buddy’s that I handled recently. I could also see myself buying a 226 Legion SAO or one of the SAO X5 or X6 (or whatever the heck they’re called nowadays) if SIG would kick Cohen to the curb. I like to put my money where my mouth is and support organizations that I stopped supporting due to bad management when they change management and attempt to Right their ways (e.g. the NRA). “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” | |||

Fighting the good fight |
Task Force Officers TFOs are local/state LEOs who are attached to a federal LE task force on a part time or full time basis. The task forces are typically focused on a specific subset of LE operations, like drugs, guns, warrants, child porn, terrorism, etc. In the case of the US Marshals Service, they use TFOs from the local LE agencies within their districts to assist on their regional fugitive task forces, working as a team to find fugitives and felons with outstanding warrants and apprehending them. They're sworn in as Special Deputy US Marshals.  | |||

I’m holding my breath waiting for all the retractions from the internet influencers that jumped the gun on the Air Force story. | |||

To add to that All TFOs regardless of Federal Agency they are assigned to are sworn in as Special Deputy US Marshals and their credentials will list US Marshals and whatever alphabet soup agency they are attached to. You can always tell who actually pays attention to the creds when you show them as they get quite confused. That could throw a kink in some things for TFOs whose local Agency only allows for carry of the 320. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad.

Long, but a good explination of the Sigs operation. I wonder how many of the overdramatic YouTubers did not raise the slide catch upon reassembly before doing their "scientific" testing. https://youtu.be/0lBTx1OHCP4?si=Fb_LDwh8oDJPK_5Q _____________________________________ P220, P225, P226, P228, P229 Legion, P230, P230SL, P239, 38H, P365, P365 faux Legion, M17X, M17 Full, M18, P210 Standard, P210 Carry Custom Works, SP2022 | |||

I spent 5 years with a task force. Two years part time and three years full time. Some of the best working conditions I’ve ever had. And yep, I too was sworn through the Marshal’s Service. And had to drive to USMS in Louisville every time I had to be resworn. ________________ People hate you. Train like it. | |||

I wonder if I can mill more shelf onto the sear to get more engagement with the striker. Or is the MIM part too fragile to do this without proper sintering. A nice milled steel sear with a double height shelf would be nice. ____________________________ Eeewwww, don't touch it! Here, poke at it with this stick. | |||

I’m having trouble following what he’s saying. It seems the “absolutely dangerous condition” can only happen with the P320 unloaded and since the P320 won’t accepted a magazine in this condition, then it cannot be loaded. Locking the slide back to allows a magazine to be inserted, but also removes the “absolutely dangerous condition”. What’s “absolutely dangerous” here about an unloaded gun? Also, isn’t this the thing Grayguns verified could be an issue if a 45/10mm takedown safety lever were to be installed in a 9mm FCU and the firearm was assemble without using the slide lock? Using the wrong takedown safety lever allows a 9mm magazine to be inserted with the slide closed, racking the slide chambers a round, and since the slide release isn’t touched, the gun is really in a dangerous condition at that point. And Ben Stoeger posted this so I stopped holding my breath: | |||

My take is that the gun is safe and the youtubers jumping on the anti-sig bandwagon have been running their "tests" before & without locking the slide back after disassembly. IDK about members here, but I ALWAYS lock the slide back after takedown and reassembly, then load the gun. The gun can't be loaded until the slide is locked back, so I'm even more skeptical about the YouTube "tests" that have been done. Magazines cannot be inserted until the slide is locked back (or at last the slide lock is pressed upwards), which is the standard way of loading any handgun. _____________________________________ P220, P225, P226, P228, P229 Legion, P230, P230SL, P239, 38H, P365, P365 faux Legion, M17X, M17 Full, M18, P210 Standard, P210 Carry Custom Works, SP2022 | |||

I did 5 years full time DEA TFO. Had a ton of fun. Going to put in for it again. | |||

"Magazines cannot be inserted until the slide is locked back (or at last the slide lock is pressed upwards), which is the standard way of loading any handgun." I'm confused? I usually load a pistol by placing the magazine into the pistol and then racking the slide. You mean you can't do that with the p320? Also, I have never seen the method described above as the standard way of loading a handgun unless the pistol has gone to slide lock and you need to reload while at the range. | |||

Of course you can. I do it all the time. I don't know what he's talking about. | |||

Prepared for the Worst, Providing the Best |
They're talking about after disassembly/reassembly. When the takedown lever is rotated down, the takedown safety lever protrudes in to the magwell and blocks the insertion of a mag (if there's a mag already in there, you can't rotate the takedown lever). After reassembly when the takedown lever has been rotated back into the "assembled" position, you either have to lock the slide to the rear or at least move the slide catch upward to release the takedown safety lever and allow it to move forward and clear the magwell. ----------------------------------------------------------- Any comments made by this poster are my own and do not reflect the views or opinions of my employer. | |||

It is the internet so it must be true. Glock ACUT with the COA models are going to stop being sold to civilians. Headline is a bit clickbait as I was expecting the article to read that the COA was now having similar issues and I think that is the point. Got a little worried as I put money down in one yesterday and pick it up Friday. https://www.usacarry.com/glock...ve-to-p320-troubles/ Glock COA Pistols Pulled from Civilian Market — Rumors Tie Move to P320 Troubles
