Irish Pat Posted November 23, 2024 Share Posted November 23, 2024 I have heard that the military requires the model they purchased must have safety levers, M-17 and M-18) May be something to the story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORNERY OAF Posted November 23, 2024 Share Posted November 23, 2024 Didn't believe it because i got a couple and LOVE them. But I've seen them go off, on camera, in the holster. Cop was leaning into his cruiser to pick up something, hands no where near gun, bang, it goes off. All on video. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted November 23, 2024 Share Posted November 23, 2024 Didn't Remington have issues with triggers that they ignored for years? Finally were forced to change the design. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The local law enforcement agencies discontinued using the P320 some years ago due to the problem. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted November 23, 2024 Share Posted November 23, 2024 Personal story..... My own P320 and its malfunction history. I bought one of the earlier P320's, a few years before their 'recall'. Their recall was due to a law suit dealing with the 'Drop/Bang' situation of a gun owner, who won his case in court. Anyhow, SIG recalled the P320's of certain serial numbers, of which mine was included. Before I had a chance to return it, I was shooting it and seemingly got a couple 'double fires'. Of course, this could have been my finger on the trigger. But then it happened.......... the gun fired 'out of battery'. The magazine blew out the bottom and the magazine floor plate also blew off the magazine. The grip panels broke in 2 places on the right side. (where my palm was). The case split exactly into 2 pieces..... upper and lower, with the lower section looking like it was dropped in a meat grinder. I don't recall any visible damage to the barrel or slide....... BUT, the slide was locked in the open position and jammed. It was in .357 SIG caliber.... so there was some force behind the 'explosion'. My hand wasn't hurt but did get a little 'sting'. SIG replaced the pistol, of course with their NEW firing housing. And I've shot it many times since then with no more issues. From my own experience, I can believe that it could fire without touching the trigger on those early productions. ..........Widder 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a 700 in 7mm Rem Mag. While it didn't ever malfunction, I lost my trust in it and sold it. Actually made a little bit on it and the ammo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stump Water Posted November 23, 2024 Share Posted November 23, 2024 The problem with the older Rem 700s was that the trigger was user adjustable via three screws. And every Tom, Dick & Harry "knew how to do it". Have four 700's & never had a problem. I haven't bought a 700 in years, so I have no idea what a 700 trigger looks like now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas Maverick Posted November 24, 2024 Share Posted November 24, 2024 (edited) I have the Sig P320 that I actually got here off the SASS Wire Classifieds and then also purchased a new Sig P365 and neither have ever gone off on their own. I have no issues carrying either one as my EDC. Just practice good handling and keep your holster clear of any clothing that might get caught on the trigger and you are good to go. Neither of mine are for sale. TM Edited November 25, 2024 by Texas Maverick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
