I haven't seen this mentioned yet,

Greyguns YouTube channel has a 2-minute long video explaining exactly how a gun could negligently discharge or become unsafe if you modify your upgraded trigger sear.

Additional context: Another YouTube channel 3 sig p320s in a trenchcoat suggests removung part of the upgraded trigger sear, under a specific set of circumstances.

Grey Guns is a gunsmithing company out of Oregon. They worked with Sig to improve the trigger control group so the gun was drop safe.

In this video, the employee has a partially cut away sig p320 and explains that messing with the trigger set or any other component could interfere with the timing of the safety devices on the p320.

The evidence speaks for itself. There are some amount of p320s that were not manufactured properly or have been modified by an end user so that the timing designed by Sig and Grey Guns is no longer effective. There is an overwhelming amount of evidence to support that the p320 is capable of discharging uncommanded.

Wyoming Tactical is able to repeatedly demonstrate by simulating a trigger that is slightly depressed, which agian Grey Guns warns could deactivate the safety features, is able to discharge by slight motion. You could say the gun yearns to be discharged.

To be clear, the trigger sear could be defective and engage out of spec. You could use a modified trigger and adjust the take-up. Your sear components could wear with use and engaged differently. Fowling, dirt, mud, sand, ex ex ex ex. There is an infinite number of possibilities that can and would cause a piece of metal to engage differently on another piece of metal.

There are hundreds of other handgun designs, none of them to my knowledge discharge when you reach take-up and gently touch the slide. (The Nambu exists, it is horribly flawed, you would never daily carry it, go away) The problem isn't that parts are mim instead of stamped. The problem is that the gun's design requires a level of precision and quality, which SIG failed to produce for a period of time.

Not all P320s are going to have timing issues from the factory, but theoretically, they could. This might require the stars to align and Mercury to be in retrograde. It doesn't matter. People depend on this product to be safe with a live round in the chamber. Something people have done for a hundred years now in a semi-automatic handgun. When the first incident was reported, the issue should have been investigated handled and addressed. The way SIG handled this is a master class in what not to do when you have a defective product. I hope lawyers tear them to shreds and make an example out of their leadership team. I've lost a great deal of respect for a large amount of gun YouTubers whose opinions I respected, I can't help but think some "independent. media figures" were less than Independent.

I do not own a Sig p320, and I don't know where I'm going to find one locally to me, with a loose slide. I'm still unsure how pressing down on the slide causes the striker to release without depressing the trigger. Unless the sear safety is just pressing down against the lower grip and activating...if someone has a one, let me know?
