This is going to really blow up for Sig.

I mean, yes, I understand that it was kind of a mountain made out of a molehill as most of these gun liability things are, but their response to begin with was weaksauce.

It's starting to snowball, and if the military pulls out...yikes.

All from one YT video...

Not looking good at all.

I think that Glock had some idea of the issues with the 320 when they filled the complaint after the contract award.

I'm also kinda glad I've decided to get a VP9 as my first pistol.

Well it looks like they will be coming out with a "Fix". Just try not to drop your pump shotgun either, not a good idea.

Glock demanding another American manufacturer recall all products after video of epic drop failure shows owner directly hit after drop at an ATM. Unofficial spokesperson claims ths drop is outside of the product's design basis and the aluminum alloy versions would likely survive a similar drop scenario.


WARNING. VIDEO MAY BE DISTURBING TO SOME VIEWERS.

I have a P320. Haven't had any issues with it. Then again I've never dropped it either. I checked out their website and so far no announcement on the "voluntary" recall. At least not that I could see.

Here is some info. Apparently there is a Monday roll out from Sig. Some say that the fix rolls out some upgrades already in the M17 military model.

I guess they are going to replace quite a bit..Not Happy!

– Reduced-mass fire control components (trigger, sear, and striker)

– New sear housing (reduces sensation of “double click” during trigger pull)

– Trigger disconnect (disengages the trigger bar if the slide is not fully in battery)

Better safe than sorry. You will be now stuck with it. Send it in imo.

If it's so perfect why do they have at least 4 generations of models?

If Chevy Corvettes are so good, why are they on Gen 7 today? Shouldn't they still be pumping out the exact same C1 model from 1953? Or is it prudent to continually improve your product through constant R&D and technology advances over the years?
