Sig P320 Drop Test

[Chucktshoes]

I think whomever runs Glock has been hanging out with Wendy. 

 

 

That's legit from their FB page. I took the screen cap myself.

Wendy's has the best trolling game in the fast food industry but Glock might give them a run for their money.  That's brilliant.

Can't really blame them.  It's a marketing coup for other manufacturers and is going to take Sig a mighty long time to live this down, if they ever do.  

I imagine Sig's engineers will get no sleep between now and next Monday.  They need to come up with something revolutionary or just stick a Glock trigger in the thing.

Damn you. I was coming here to post the same thing.

No step on snek?  No...

Someone brought up a very good point on another forum. Sig came out with a fix for this issue within days of it becoming public. Something tells me they have known about this issue for a lot longer than a few days.

I avoid Facebook like I do Walmart, but the exact same thing was posted on Instagram. A lot of the gun manufacturers are getting like that, H&K is like that too. Didn't expect it from Glock though.

According to my sources, this is a "hoax," if you will. Dropped from a height far exceeding the required height. But, if you're concerned, SIG will do an "upgrade."

It is very coincidental, for sure.  A post that I read stated that the new striker assembly and whatever pieces are involved were specified as part of the MHS program and just so happened to fix the drop issue.  Again, coincidental.  I do not typically believe in coincidences of this magnitude either.

I don't see how anyone can claim it's a hoax.  Several sampled firearms clearly fire when struck on the back of the slide with a mallet or on the back rear of the slide as when dropped at that 30-degree angle.

Exaggerated, perhaps, but not a hoax.

I'm glad that Sig is stepping up.  I expected that they would!  They have much riding on the P320.

David is right. This isn't a hoax. One cop already got shot in the leg after dropping his p320 while it was in its holster, trigger covered.

That would imply that there's an acceptable height (that's not something absurd like 1000ft) from which you can drop the gun and it's ok for it to fire.

You might want to start washing your ears out when you get home from the gun store.

Yeah, well, lots of people don't know what they're talking about, lol

So, just got an email from Apex Tactical:  "Please discontinue using or carrying your Sig P320 pistol equipped with the Apex Curved Advanced Trigger."  The message goes on to say that Apex is suspending sales of its triggers for the P320 and is directing customers who purchased the triggers to return them to Apex for credit toward another product.  Dealers with unsold Apex triggers are asked to return them to Apex for credit.

Apex says they will test their triggers with the P320 once it has been upgraded by Sig, but "it could take some time...."

I imagine this will get cleared up reasonably soon.  But I'm glad I have not been too quick to grab up a P320.  I am still interested in having one, but maybe in a few more months....

Cheers,

Me and my 3 P-320s are waiting for Monday's announcement.

So are they taking one for the team?  Or is it really a trigger issue?  Sounds fishy.

Why does it not surprise me that the military’s exhaustive testing failed to find a flaw that could easily occur in a real world scenario? 

The government should pull the contract.

I know many may think this sounds like a conspiracy theory but I firmly believe the RFP was rigged. Someone got a big kickback. Even leading up to the testing many people pointed out that the only weapon that met the criteria the Army was looking for was the p320. It was extremely specific. On top of that my brother was stationed in Africa during 2015 and his unit was given the chance to buy a custom p320 with their specific insignia on it(it looked awesome BTW). That might be a coincidence but even he was told back in 2015 that the Army was selecting that for their next gun.

I did my own test, beat it w a snap on dead blow hammer, threw it in the mud, ran it over with my Honda and a chihuahua inside. It never showed any sign of firing.

As well. I checked one over at G&L Hendersonville a week or so ago. It was ok, didn't really make me lust after it though. I thought maybe later.

I guess it's much later now.

Canik?

[tmauto769]

Some are saying it is due to the mass of the trigger. I would like to see someone zip tie the trigger to the front of the trigger guard then drop it to see if that is the case or it is the fpb that is failing.
