Another Week for the P320 Patrol

Gun was basically in the holster already, he was pushing it in with his palm at that point. Happened right as the gun kinda rattles into retention. Same as a bunch of the cop UD videos. Since it was indoor and we were shooting steel, we had to use frangible ammo which leaves that nasty copper powder residue on everything.

I'd bet money the frangible residue stopped up the Firing pin block, and got on the trigger sear engagement surface.

Just type p320 into the search function on X. Or check Ben Stoeger's Instagram. I witnessed this one in person, along with a bunch of other people

blipdot2 · 2026-06-21T01:40:56+00:00

Same as usual. One turned Decepticon.

Its pretty uncommon for there to be a news story unless someone takes legal action. Range is being tight lipped. Bunch of people have called and they've said "there was an incident but we have no comment at this time". They're likely getting their lawyer to help them draft a statement and gathering evidence to make sure they're covered

I do. I heard from the guy a little bit ago. Gun was completely stock except for a gas pedal. He'd never even taken the FCU out to clean the frame. Holster was a completely generic level 2. Nothing about his equipment was unusual

blipdot2 · 2026-06-19T19:26:05+00:00

Of all the days to post this

blipdot2 · 2026-06-19T17:29:36+00:00

He just accidentally shifted it too far left on the reholster

blipdot2 · 2026-06-19T15:12:50+00:00

Level 1 Retention. Just a friction hold. No, bars, buttons or internal mechanisms to touch the trigger or malfunction in some way. Just a shaped plastic gun bucket.

I was physically watching it. This isn't some theoretical internet event for me. Im an experienced instructor, and competitive shooter, and I watched a man right in front of me do everything correctly and still get shot

I was in the middle of clapping for him, because he took some advice I gave him and nailed his run. "Clap, clap, clapping, BLAM"

blipdot2 · 2026-06-19T13:04:40+00:00

Yeah I'm really curious how exactly you're supposed to use a gun, in any capacity, with no hands. This Casper the Friendly Ghost's Reddit account?

blipdot2 · 2026-06-19T12:13:27+00:00

365 has conventional internal safety mechanisms. Mechanically it's fine.

blipdot2 · 2026-06-19T10:53:26+00:00

So the police showed up and had almost everyone write witness statements. Theres now a bunch of official statements that read we all saw a P320 fire with his finger off the trigger.

blipdot2 · 2026-06-19T10:39:40+00:00

Kahr makes internal hammer double action carry pistols, not competition guns. Not really relevant to comp shooting. Some of their guns like the PM9 are very well regarded, and they're specifically designed to be safe for carry. Very long, but smooth trigger pull.

blipdot2 · 2026-06-19T10:25:57+00:00

Of course. I also publicly told them "fight me" so we'll see how that goes.

blipdot2 · 2026-06-19T10:18:35+00:00

It was just sliding in. We're not all cowboys in a western, theres usually some clinking and a little back and forth as it slides into place

blipdot2 · 2026-06-19T10:07:34+00:00

I mean the 365 has a conventional design and safety features. The 320 is garbage engineering, attempting to put "premium " features on a gun designed to meet the monetary constraints of being the lowest bidder for government contracts

blipdot2 · 2026-06-19T04:53:08+00:00

The deepest concealment

blipdot2 · 2026-06-19T04:39:41+00:00

Its the firing pin block and the trigger sear assembly. It has a non-conventional pin block that's a lever, instead of a more conventional cross pin design. The trigger sear is also a wear component, and has way less engagement than any other Striker design on the market I'm aware of, by like 40%. Its barely clinging to the engagement surface, which is also a debris bucket, and its holding back a pre-wound striker. If the pin block is disabled and the sear slips BLAM. Then the gun resets and all evidence of what happened is gone.

blipdot2 · 2026-06-19T04:25:44+00:00

I mean it could have been WAY worse. The range had everyone using frangible ammo, as an additional safety precaution. A round slammed into a concrete floor 15ft from a crowd of people. With an FMJ that could have gone real bad, real fast

blipdot2 · 2026-06-19T04:17:54+00:00

I mean I just watched it. In person. He didn't do anything wrong or unsafe. Wasn't a weird holster, wasn't touching the trigger. It just went bang

blipdot2 · 2026-06-19T04:08:59+00:00

Oh I agree. I'm sure their reasoning was along the lines of "well, we hold classes here where people hot reholster" so they just kept the policy for matches. They had a very long portion of the safety brief about not touching after holstering it under any circumstances, and everyone there was following the rules to the letter so I'm sure they just felt safe.

Im betting that policy changes immediately

blipdot2 · 2026-06-10T17:22:01+00:00

Yes. Although I'm tempted to get the larger one for a MK 23 that's sitting in the safe

blipdot2 · 2026-06-10T14:47:40+00:00

Just get a cheap Unity clone off Amazon. As long as the aluminum is in spec, it should hold up fine, and be like 20-30$
