Gunsite Bans Sig P320

[BarryinIN]

I was wondering when the big first trainer or facility would do this.



Gunsite Academy has always placed firearms safety as paramount.

Currently, there are significant questions being asked in our community about the operation of the SIG 320 Pistol.

After much consideration, we have decided that until these questions have
been answered to our satisfaction, Gunsite will no longer allow the SIG 320 Pistol to be used in classes, effective immediately.

If the SIG 320 is a government-issued duty pistol for Military or Law Enforcement students, we will allow - but discourage the use of - the SIG P320 for that student.

Other SIG platforms continue to be welcome in classes.

SIG is a well-known leader in our industry and we are confident they are

working diligently to investigate the possible underlying problem.

Once the issue is resolved, we will reconsider our prohibition.

Respectfully,

Ken Campbell

I don't own any Sig firearms, so I don't have any skin in the game, but I would figure the size and popularity of this company would stop making the P320 whether all the negativity is true or false and offer a replacement if the owners don't trust this model.
I know this would come at a considerable cost, but it has to be comparable to what they must be spending in litigation.

Can a mod or whoever just moosh all the 320 threads together?

I laugh at what gets typed and even if i had that kind of money it wouldn't be a gun i would buy... but a thread started with every whisper about the 320 doesn't need to happen...

 

[BarryinIN]

I thought about adding it to one, but felt this is a pretty big whisper.

This is huge in a bad way news.
I just don’t see anyway out for tjem
Short of dropping the 320 for another model and the CEO probably needs to go somewhere else (preferably not an auto or airplane manufacturer either)

We shall see

 

[Mr.W.]

I don't blame Gunsite one iota.

Why do you think the new P211 takes 320 mags? They need something that does...

 

[ECS686]

Well yoh can add Cougar Mountian Solutions (Erik Gelhaus) and Modern Samurai Project (Scott Jedlinski) to the list

ICE has pulled them/banned them and replaced/replacing with G-19’s

 

[BarryinIN]

Some enterprising individual with more sense than I will develop a drop-in fix for these and sell a bunch.

A reasonable action after all that's been going on with those models.

Next up to be banned at gun ranges, the High Point.

I don't own one but haven't heard of them having uncommanded discharges.

That’s a big one.

Well we have a face with the name RIP

Considering no current gun is styled "High Point," I think we're pretty safe.
