I am not a Sig fan especially of the 320 but this is hard to believe. (Not by much but still)

Army's New Pistols Often Eject Live Rounds and Don't Work Well With Regular Bullets

The "ejecting live rounds" thing tells me the author is not very familar with the subject matter. If he were he would be referring to FTFs.

Testing also revealed that the handguns had a propensity to eject a live round along with the empty cartridge case during normal functioning. There was no indication that this issue caused any malfunctions, such as “stove-piping,” which generally involves empty casing ending up jammed in place, typically sticking up from the ejection port.

Either this is some bizarre magazine feed issue, or it is a complete misrepresentation of the problem.

That paragraph makes it sound like an empty case will eject, *and* the live round next in the magazine with it, and that the 2nd round in the magazine will chamber properly. If that's the case it has to be one of the oddest malfunctions I can imagine.
