Too many AD's on this pistol. Apparently, Sig tweaked it away from its original design which made it unreliable, on top of Sig moving production of it to Turkey.
If you carry one of these pointing at your pecker and family jewels, you might want to keep an empty chamber.

Dear XXXXXXXXX Customers,
At XXXXXXXXXX, your safety is—and always has been—our highest priority. We’re writing to inform you of an important policy change regarding the use of the SIG Sauer P320 at our facility.Effective immediately, XXXXXXXXXX will no longer allow the use of the SIG Sauer P320/M17/M18 and all variants on our premises, whether you personally own it or it is your agency issued duty pistol.
Why We’re Making This Decision
While the P320 has been a popular firearm among civilian and professional shooters, we cannot ignore the mounting safety concerns surrounding its design and performance—even after SIG Sauer’s Voluntary Upgrade Program. Despite the internal component updates intended to reduce unintentional discharges, the core design of the P320's Fire Control Unit (FCU) continues to draw scrutiny.
Our Commitment to You
This decision was not made lightly, but it was made with clarity. Our mission is to offer an environment where safety, education, and trust are always at the forefront. We remain committed to monitoring industry developments, manufacturer guidance, and legal outcomes—and will adjust our policy only if and when sufficient corrective action is taken and independently validated.
We appreciate your understanding and continued support. If you have questions about this policy or need help finding alternative options for training or competition, our team is more than happy to assist.
Respectfully,
The XXXXXXXXXXX Team

- A tragic accidental discharge at Warren Air Force Base recently resulted in the death of an airman, further raising concerns about the platform's reliability.
- Multiple law enforcement agencies across the U.S.—at both the state and federal level—have taken the step of removing the P320 from service, citing similar safety risks.
- Numerous reputable shooting ranges nationwide have also banned the P320, pending further action and transparency from SIG Sauer.
- At XXXXXXXXX, we believe no amount of popularity or brand recognition can outweigh the responsibility we have to protect every individual who steps onto our range. While many firearms can pose risks if misused, the risk profile of the P320, even under responsible handling, has proven to be exceptional and unacceptable to us.
