Not me. I'd take it and trade it off on something I really liked.
Of course , I have never been drawn to any of the sigs. I think they are fine firearms but like anything else some like them some don't. I'm in the some don't group.

Fair enough.
With the same disclaimer, I have never owned or been interested in owning one, but I want one now.

Not rubbing me the wrong way Warrior, I have 13 P320 variants of that firearm, and I might have to send them back because none of them fire un-commanded
. The first four I bought when they first hit the market, were the 9mm subcompact, 40 carry, 357 Sig carry, and 45 carry. I also bought the 40 X-Change kit to make it a subcompact (came with slide, barrel, 1 mag and subcompact grip module). Those 4 and the X-Change kit 40 slide I decided to send back for their VUP modifications. All 4 & 40 subcompact slide were turned around updated within a week. All my other P320s were bought after the drop issues.
I like them and the other Sig firearms I own, but realize people have choices and get what they desire. Some people won’t buy from Springfield because of the lobbyist issue other won’t touch S&Ws because they agreed to put the Safety lock on their revolvers (Hillary Hole). I don’t hold to those type grudges (but don’t judge those that do), and also own several firearms from those manufacturers among many others. It’s great to have choices.

I owned 6 P320's in my training business and ran many, many novices and experienced shooters through my courses with nary an issue or malfunction. It is one of the easiest platforms to use to teach novices to shoot accurately, due to the ergonomics.
SOMETHING needs to pull that trigger to make it fire. I think if you drop it enough times you can probably break it and make it fire, but then that is true of other guns as well.
I have the perspective of having been a LE instructor since 1971. I was training a lot of people when Glock first arrived on the scene and everybody was transitioning from revolvers. As Glock made their way into LE, we started learning of injuries from negligent discharges, some tragic. We had a name for it: "Glock Leg". Why? Fingers on triggers by cops who had been brought up on 12 pound revolver triggers. We also saw occasional ND's with S&W gen 3 guns for the same reason. As a point of interest, I can also tell you tgat in 1971 many LEO's of the day believed 1911's were unsafe for duty carry.
I investigated a few ND's where reportedly "it just went off" but came down to operator negligence.
Holster manufacturers of security holsters recommend drawing the unloaded pistol in training a minimum of 200 times before going live, to build neuromuscular memory. I was surprised to see agencies handing out new duty holsters with no training whatsoever. I watched and video recorded many students and was surprised at the number of even experienced shooters who were putting fingers on triggers as the gun was coming out of the holster. They had no idea they were doing it.
I believe there have been rare uncommanded discharges due to holster issues or malfunction. Guns are after all a mechanical devices and all things mechanical can fail.
But it is fingers or something contacting triggers that are the culprits in virtually all of these injuries. Glock and Glock fans hate SIG because SIG out-Glocked them with the 320 and 365, and got the DoD contract. The p320 controversy is largely fanned by the Glock mafia and media sensation. I personally prefer a 1911 type handgun for carry but would have no problem carrying a P320 for duty or EDC.
