Also, I have a P320 and might be looking to swap it out for something that won't perforate me if I drop it. :roll:
Let us all know if you find one that pass's the 'Yankee Marshall' b.s. rant. The SIG P320 pass's all the drop test as any semi-auto does as mandated by the government. And as you may well be aware has won the military contract. Beating out all top tier manufactures in the first stage of the trials, meaning it was the only manufacture with a gun that did not malfunction.
By the final stage the military told all the rest of them don't let the door hit you in the a-- on the way out !
'Yankee Marshall' is a fraud who would pimp out his own kids for free merchandise.
I havent seen what the "Yankee Marshall" has to say.
As for the P320 passing gov't drop tests...it has been shown, conclusively, that those tests are lacking.
I am well aware that the P320 is the basis of the new M17/18 pistols. As I understand it Sig puts a different trigger in those guns (If you know differently feel free to correct me) - One that passes more stringent drop tests. This is the same trigger that Sig will be installing in guns sent back for the "Voluntary Upgrade".
Also, those guns (the military issue M17/18) are equipped with manual safeties which would eliminate the issue when engaged. This is important because the Connecticut police officer that is currently suing Sig was shot by his own gun when he dropped it on pavement while loading gear into his vehicle. The gun was Holstered at the time and if it had been a Manual Safety model, there is a good chance he would have had it on - and not been shot. Also, if his gun had been any one of the other guns rejected by the MHS program his gun would have simply hit the ground and not fired.
Point is: Sig seems to have known that this was a problem. They developed a fix and made sure it was implemented for the military but did not do it for civilian sales. They could have, but decided to cheap out. Now someone has an extra hole in their body where they shouldn't and it could have been prevented by issuing a recall.
